Metallics M259 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size cable does the Metallics M259 staple fit?
The M259 is a 1/4 x 9/16 inch nonmetallic sheathed cable staple, so the 1/4 inch crown dimension is what has to clear your cable. That sizing is intended for single runs of common residential NM cable such as 14/2 and 12/2 rather than stacked or larger multi-conductor runs. If the cable fills or exceeds the opening, step up to a wider staple instead of forcing this one, since over-compressing the sheath is what causes a failed inspection.
2) Can I drive Metallics M259 cable staples with a pneumatic stapler or do they have to be hammered?
Either works. The M259 can be driven with a hammer or an appropriate pneumatic stapler. On a rough-in with hundreds of staples a gun is faster, but back off the air pressure so the crown stops flush against the cable, not buried into it. Hand-setting the last fraction with a hammer is common practice around panel feeds where crushing the sheath is a real risk.
3) Is a 1/4 inch cable staple the right choice, or should I be using a cable strap?
A staple like the M259 is the fast option when you are fastening NM cable directly to wood framing members during rough-in, since it drives in one blow and needs no pilot hole or separate fastener. Plastic one-hole or two-hole straps with screws are the better pick on masonry, metal studs, or finished surfaces where you cannot drive a staple, and on cable bundles that will not sit flat under a 1/4 inch crown. For standard stud-and-joist residential and light commercial wiring, the staple is what most electricians run.
4) Will Metallics M259 staples hold NM cable for a commercial tenant fit-out, or are they residential only?
They are used in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations, including office and retail wiring, service and sub-panel runs, and branch circuits for outlets, lighting, and appliances. The limiting factor is not the building type, it is the substrate: the staple needs wood framing to bite into. Where the commercial job runs NM cable on metal studs or concrete, you need a screw-applied strap instead.
5) How do I staple NM cable without damaging the sheath?
Set the cable in its routing path along the framing member first, then place the staple so the cable sits centered in the 1/4 x 9/16 inch opening before you drive it. Stop when the crown is seated and the cable is held but not flattened, then check the sheath for indentation or splitting. Over-driven staples that cut into the jacket are the most common reason a rough-in gets red-tagged, and they are also a long-term fault risk on the conductor.
