The Protector Sleeve is a grommet, preferably cylindrical or rectangular, made of steel, that would be located in a hole drilled through a stud or joist in wood frame construction. It has anchors on both sides to keep it in place. The anchors, short strips of metal attached to the body, which are bent 90 degrees and can have barbs, or holes for a fastener (nail/screw/tack), will allow the body of the grommet to rest or be suspended in the hole drilled in the stud. When the Protector Sleeve is in place it shields the interior of the hole that was drilled, thereby protecting the wire or pipe that the hole was drilled for from being punctured by any screw or nail that might be driven through the wall and into the stud. The steel of the Protector Sleeve either stops, or deflects, the nail or screw.
