The present invention relates to a new device for protecting wires and tubes that must be placed through the apertures in building panels or studs madeof steel or the like. The protection device disclosed herein comprises a single piece, plastic body having a wall surface which is bowed on opposing sides and flanged along its periphery. On opposing sides of the outer surface of the body's wall are arranged one or more protruding, angled pins or male nubs which securely hold, in the gap formed between the wall flange and the male nubs, the opposing rims of an aperture in a metal stud that this device is designed to be securely attached to. The body of this device can be of any size or shape, including but not limited to square, rectangular, oval or cathedral shaped. Due to its elasticity and larger than aperture size, this device can be pinched in along the opposing bowed sides of the body's wall and upon release an outward pressure is achieved against the rims of the stud aperture. The design of the protruding male nubs in relation to the wall flange allows this device to remainfirmly attached to the aperture once it is attached thereto. |
