IDEAL SIZING AND DURABILITY: Made from 16-gauge galvanized steel, our stud shoes offer exceptional strength and resistance. They are suitable for 2X studs and can accommodate pipes up to 2 3/8" outside diameter. REINFORCES WEAKENED STUDS: When you need to drill through studs to run pipes (like drain pipes or waste pipes) or electrical wiring, our stud shoes strengthen the weakened studs. This prevents the drilled holes from compromising the structural integrity.

This helps prevent leaks or damages, ensuring the long-term safety and functionality of your building.

Our metal stud shoes help you pass structural inspections and codes compliance.
