Briscon SN-40-5M Low Carbon Steel Cable Staples, 1/2" x 1", 5,000-Count Bucket

The Briscon SN-40-5M is a 5,000-count bucket of Briscon's 1/2" wide by 1" long low carbon steel cable staples. It is a cable staple, not a connector: each staple is hammered over the cable to fasten it to studs, joists and other wood framing. The SN-40 holds 14/2 and 14/3 armored (AC) cable, 14/2 and 14/3 metal clad (MC) cable, 14/2 through 10/3 non-metallic sheathed (NM) cable, and 14/2 and 12/2 underground feeder (UF) cable. A recessed head protects the cable jacket and sharp, burr free legs drive straight without splitting the wood. Made in the USA.

Key Features

  • Low Carbon Steel: Plain low carbon steel staple for interior wood framing.
  • Recessed Head: The recessed head drives quickly and helps protect the cable jacket and insulation.
  • Straight Driving Legs: Pointed, burr free legs with sharp tips start easily and drive straight to help prevent splitting the wood.
  • Contractor Preferred Length: Leg length engineered to the length contractors prefer for secure holding in framing.
  • Clean Handling: Virtually oil free for cleaner handling on the job.
  • Hammer Driven: Designed to be driven into wood with a hammer; no special tool required.

Briscon SN-40-5M – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will Briscon SN-40 staples hold 12/2 Romex?
Yes. The SN-40 staple, 1/2 inch wide by 1 inch long, covers 14/2 through 10/3 non-metallic sheathed (NM) cable, so 12/2 Romex sits comfortably in range. It also takes 14/2 and 14/3 AC, 14/2 and 14/3 MC, and 14/2 and 12/2 UF cable.
2) Can one staple size cover AC, MC, NM and UF runs on the same job?
That is what the SN-40 is for. It is a combination AC/MC/NM/UF staple at 1/2 inch by 1 inch, so a rough-in crew can stock one bucket instead of sorting sizes by cable type. The limits are 14/2 and 14/3 on AC and MC, 14/2 to 10/3 on NM, and 14/2 and 12/2 on UF.
3) Can a Bridgeport Fittings 597-DC2 Mighty-Seal connector be used in place of Briscon SN-40 cable staples?
No, they do different jobs. The Briscon SN-40-5M is a hammer driven cable staple, 1/2 inch wide by 1 inch long, that fastens NM, AC, MC or UF cable to wood studs and joists along a run. The Bridgeport Fittings 597-DC2 is a Mighty-Seal 3/4 inch PVC-jacketed MC/TECK cable connector, which terminates the cable into a box or enclosure. A rough in job that runs MC cable typically needs both: staples to support the run through the framing, and a connector at each box entry.
4) Do I need a special stapler or gun for these?
No tool purchase needed. The SN-40 is hammer driven into wood, with pointed, burr free legs that start easily and drive straight to help avoid splitting the framing member. The recessed head seats over the cable without chewing up the jacket.
5) How many staples come in a bucket of SN-40-5M?
5,000 staples per bucket. That is the bulk rough-in quantity for a crew wiring a house or a multi-family block, rather than a contractor pack you burn through in a day.
6) Can Briscon SN-40 steel staples be used outdoors or in damp locations?
These are plain low carbon steel, specified for interior wood framing. They will hold UF cable in 14/2 and 12/2 sizes, but the staple itself has no corrosion coating called out, so for exposed or wet locations use a coated or galvanized staple instead.
7) Will SN-40 staples work on metal studs?
No. The SN-40 is driven with a hammer into wood, so it is for studs, joists and rafters in wood framing only. On steel studs you need a strap or a clip designed for metal, not a driven staple.
8) For an MC cable run into a wet or direct burial enclosure, what should be used instead of steel cable staples?
Plain low carbon steel staples like the Briscon SN-40-5M are intended for interior wood framing, and they secure the cable to the framing rather than seal it into an enclosure. Where the cable enters a box in a wet or jacketed application, the Bridgeport Fittings 597-DC2 Mighty-Seal connector is built for that termination, sized 3/4 inch for PVC-jacketed MC/TECK cable in zinc.
9) Is Briscon still the same staple now that nVent Gardner Bender owns the line?
Same staple. Briscon is now part of nVent Gardner Bender alongside Gardner Bender, Sperry Instruments and Bergen. The name and packaging are changing, but nVent states the quality, specs and performance are unchanged. Order against part number SN-40-5M.
10) Are these cable staples made in the USA?
Yes, the Briscon SN-40 staples are manufactured in the United States, which matters on public and institutional work carrying domestic sourcing requirements.
