Product details

Nail-on safety plates protect central vacuum pipe where it runs through wall studs and floor joists. MD sells them as part 550, and publishes the plate size as 1-1/2 by 5 inches with 100 plates per box. Each one is hammered onto the framing directly over the spot the pipe passes through, before drywall or flooring goes back on.

The reasoning is simple. Once a stud is drilled for pipe, anyone driving a screw or nail into that same stud later, for baseboard, trim, or a shelf bracket, has no way of knowing a vacuum line sits behind it. MD describes the plate's job in exactly those terms: it keeps screws and nails from penetrating into the pipe.

  • Part: MD nail-on safety plate, part 550
  • Plate size: 1-1/2 by 5 inches, as published by MD
  • Quantity: 100 per box
  • Install: nail it flat to the framing over the drilled pipe path

A box this size covers a full multi-inlet installation, so installers generally buy it once per job rather than restocking plate by plate.
