when passing al-pex pipe though holes cut in floor joist it makes direct contact with the wood. are there any suggestions to avoid the possibility of noise?
Also your extruded aluminum plates require 10 nails per plate. is there a possibility of using 3/4 brad nails from a nail gun directly into the aluminum plate? the head on is to small for the predrilled holes.

You could wrap some armaflex around the piping where it goes through the wall. that would at least keep it from rubbing directly on the wood.
If you want to shoot nails through the extruded aluminum plate, go ahead. Just be sure to use enough to keep it up so it doesn't fall down in the future. It's kind of heavy once all the piping goes in it.
