Q:I see some reviewers got tan, some got black. Besides color, is there a difference?

A: Yes, as some others have stated, the manufacturer appears to be using different colors of plastic bead stock to produce these. Nothing to worry about though as mere color is not indicative of a plastic's chemical makeup or properties.

A: In the specifications it says "Multi-Colored".
I am guessing that means regardless of the color, they are the same quality.
I got tan colored isolators.

A: No difference in functionality, there is a slight difference in the shape of the wings that screw into the stud but I'm sure it's a matter of timing of the production run and material on hand.

Q:What size bit do you use to drill the hole?

Answer This Question
A: Because of failing to provide clear instructions, I had to learn by trial and error.
1-1/4 “ is too tight, you can barely get the pipe in. 1-1/2” is too big because the isolator will fall out unless you put in two screws. See photo.
So use a 1-3/8“ hole saw or paddle bit.

A: I 3/8 inch bit

A: Use 1-3/8" for the hole size, anything smaller and you're really going to fight it. You can use a 1-1/2" dia. bit but the ridges on the back won't lock into place, however, there are screw holes on the sides that you can use as well to hold it in place.

These are absolutely ideal for my remote off the grid cabin. I used to have the ¾ inch copper piping run through several inner walls as well as the outside and that was fine until the well water pump started up via a generator which in turn produced a vibration which was, let’s say, `annoying`.
The two main points that is an excellent design is, first and foremost, these tough plastic silencers open up to allow the pipe to slot into it, rather than having to remove it in order to slide it through. Second is the way the outside grips firmly onto the inside of the drilled hole and finally the two predrilled holes make for a perfect stable anchor

The Holdrite 1/2 inch plastic isolators are perfect for pex or copper pipe protection when going through studs. I've used Holdrite products for many years and feel they are the best on the market. I like the job pack in the plastic container and it makes it easy to keep the sizes separate and make the job go smoother. I definitely recommend the Holdrite isolators for their quality and ease of use.

The HOLDRITE 1/2 INCH PLASTIC THRU-STUD ISOLATOR arrived well packaged inside a carton. All 15 pieces (pro pack) were sealed inside a twist off lid container, enabling you to use what's needed and store the rest. I selected it because of the Holdrite name. I like the plastic composition. The specific feature is the flexibllity of it. I will use it to secure all 1/2 inch pipe or tubing. The quality is excellent. It is very easy to use by spreading apart the plastic and placing it on the piping. It'll work out as planned. I like it.

The studs in a ThinHaus are 16ga steel ... very strong and very rigid. They come from the factory with pre-punched holes for wires and pipes. What is different from wood is that these holes have crazy sharp edges. Sharp enough to cut romex or pex, especially when bumping along on the highway. It's pretty much required to protect the electrical and plumbing elements from these edges and this product does that great. We used to use them with wood studs, but now that we are using steel, these are even more important.

If you have ever done water piping renovations where you have installed wood studs for walls; and run the pipes through the walls, you can use these isolators to make a better installation. They protect the pipe from damage; and also reduce the noise from pipe expansion and contraction. HoldRite definitely can make the installation a lot easier and better. You can either bore hole in the stud (1 3/8") or surface mount with smaller hole (3/4").

Whatever piping material you're using, you'll benefit from these isolators. When you're running piping through studs it's important to both protect the pipes and isolate them from the lumber so that as they expand and contract they don't wear against the wood and so they don't cause noise. This product easily handles both issues but quickly snapping around the pipes and filling the hole through your framing. Really like the setup, easy to use and durable.
