Product Description

The CVS Large Nail Guard for Vac Pipe (1.5" x 5") is a protective sleeve designed to shield central vacuum piping from accidental damage during wall penetration and drywall installation. This single guard fits 1.5-inch diameter vacuum pipe and provides 5 inches of protective coverage, preventing nails and screws from puncturing the pipe during construction.

Constructed as a rigid protective sleeve, this nail guard is installed over the vacuum pipe at points where the pipe passes through walls or ceilings. The guard creates a barrier that deflects fasteners away from the pipe, ensuring the integrity of your central vacuum system throughout the home.

The CVS nail guard is compatible with standard central vacuum piping used in BEAM, Intervac, Vacuflo, Hide-A-Hose, and other leading central vacuum systems installed throughout the Wasatch Front and beyond.
