I'm going to start installing construction plywood and would like to protect electrical conduits and water pipes.
Does anyone have tips on protection?
I remember seeing something on Draknästet but can't find it anywhere...
 
  • Wall with wooden studs and grey protective conduit tubes for electrical and water pipes, next to plywood. Coiled colored wires on the floor.

Thank you for trying to help, it is appreciated.
I have also found your links.
Two of them require attaching the protection as the pipes are being laid, and the last one is for steel studs.

I don't understand why there isn't a simple solution to install afterwards.
I find LK Spikskydd but no information on how this should be installed…

Measure where they are and then mark on the plywood areas where you shouldn't screw. Free, and very effective.

The holes look quite large, can't you split a fitting järnrör in half and push it in?
 
Found these, but they don't seem to be so standard in Sweden. How do you builders ensure this?
 
  • Safety nail plates for wood studs, 16 gauge steel, with sharp points; used for protecting pipes and wires, product listing on Amazon.se.
  • Metal plate for securing pipes and conduits with nail holes and pointed prongs, used in construction for protection and secure installation.

You can always cut suitable pieces from an angle profile, for example.

that doesn't stop if you screw
better to have the right length of the screw
 
When I ran pipes in a wall over a longer distance that would later be covered with drywall, I ordered strips of 1.5mm galvanized steel sheet that with margin covered the pipes and screwed them over the pipes before the drywall was in place. I have done the same in a few places where pipes pass through studs at unsuitable spots, but with smaller metal pieces similar to those from airmont. But without fastening lugs.
