Simpson Strong-tie Ns2 Nail Stop, 16 Gauge Steel, 1-1/2 X 6 In.

The Simpson Strong-Tie NS2 Nail Stop is a metal strip engineered to protect finished surfaces and structural components from nail over-penetration during framing and construction work. This compact steel plate is installed in framing cavities, at drywall edges, and along trim to intercept fasteners before they breach interior walls, sheathing, or finished surfaces.

Its low profile and modest footprint mean it fits discreetly into tight spaces without interfering with framing members or other components, making it a practical detail for framing and finishing work where controlling nail depth matters.
