Metallics KST100SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size cable does the Metallics KST100SS cable staple hold?
The KST100SS is a 1-1/4 by 9/16 inch cable staple, so the 9/16 inch crown is the span that sits over the cable or cable bundle and the 1-1/4 inch legs are what drive into the wood framing. Match the crown dimension to the outside diameter of what you are fastening, not to the conductor size.
2) Is the Metallics KST100SS stainless, and can it be used outdoors or in a damp location?
It is made of 302 stainless steel, which is why it gets specified where a plain steel or galvanized staple would rust out, including exterior runs, marine and coastal work, and damp or corrosive interiors. Stainless also avoids the galvanic issue of driving a zinc-plated fastener against stainless or copper-jacketed cable.
3) What is the difference between a cable staple like the KST100SS and a one-hole cable strap?
A staple like the 1-1/4 x 9/16 KST100SS drives in with two legs and is the fast choice for securing cable to wood studs, joists, and plates during rough-in. A one-hole or two-hole strap takes a screw and is what you use on masonry, metal, or any surface you cannot drive a leg into, and it is also the choice when the cable may need to be released and re-secured later. Staples are a wood-framing fastener, nothing else.
4) Do I need a special tool to install Metallics KST100SS cable staples?
No. The KST100SS is a hand-driven staple, set with a hammer like an insulated staple or a nail. Drive it until the crown contacts the cable without crushing the jacket, which is the usual failure on this kind of fastener.
5) Is the Metallics KST100SS sold as a single part number or in multiple sizes?
KST100SS is one part number, the 1-1/4 by 9/16 inch 302 stainless cable staple. There is no finish or length choice to specify on it, so if you need a wider crown for a larger bundle or a different leg length, that is a different Metallics staple number.
