305.8 of the 2003 IPC plumbing code requires plumbing pipe protection, but what if the pipe is inside a steel stud? Does the steel stud provide enough protection where a stud guard or shoe is not required. Simpson has stud guard products but I don't see anything in regards to steel studs.
Is this a commercial gimmy, no one enforces it the same as wood studs? Is there an item to protect plumbing inside a metal stud?
