Stud Shoes Double 2X 16‑Gauge Galvanized UPVONT 6.25×3 2 Piece Set

Description

Product Overview

UPVONT presents a pair of heavy‑duty stud shoes designed specifically for double 2X stud applications. Constructed from 16‑gauge galvanized steel, each shoe offers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. The powder‑coated finish further protects the metal from rust and wear, ensuring a long service life even in humid or corrosive environments. Measuring 6.25 inches in height and 3 inches in width, the shoes provide a broad surface area that distributes load evenly across the stud, reducing stress concentrations and preventing deformation. The product ships as a two‑piece set, allowing installers to reinforce both sides of a stud or to use the shoes in multiple locations within a single project. All dimensions, material specifications, and compliance details are listed in the product data sheet, guaranteeing that contractors have the exact information needed for precise planning and code‑compliant installation.

Usage

These stud shoes excel in residential and commercial settings where plumbing, electrical, or HVAC systems require drilling through studs. In bathrooms and kitchens, where water lines and drain pipes are common, the shoes protect the surrounding pipe walls from accidental nail or screw penetration during drywall installation. They are also valuable in commercial construction projects that demand strict adherence to IBC and IRC structural codes; the reinforced studs help pass inspections by preventing weakened stud sections. The shoes accommodate pipes up to 2 3⁄8″ outside diameter, making them suitable for a wide range of pipe sizes, including PVC, copper, and PEX. Installation is straightforward: position the shoe against the stud, align the pre‑drilled holes with the pipe, and secure with appropriate fasteners. The design allows for quick placement without the need for additional tools, reducing labor time and minimizing disruption on the job site.
