Giải thích
When the required 1 and 1/4-inch setback cannot be maintained, a steel plate, sleeve or bushing at least 1/16 inch thick must cover the area of the wire so a drywall screw or nail cannot reach it. Notching is more damaging to the stud and creates the same exposure, and nonmetallic sleeves do not satisfy this rule.
