Metallics CG101 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size caulk tubes does the Metallics CG101 caulking gun take?
The CG101 is sized for standard 1/10 gallon cartridges, which is the common single-tube size for sealants, firestop caulk and duct sealant. Standard quart-size or sausage-pack tubes will not load in it.
2) Does this caulking gun have a smooth rod or a ratchet rod, and which should I use?
Smooth rod. The CG101 uses a smooth push rod, which releases pressure more cleanly when you let go of the trigger, so you get less run-on bead after the stroke. Ratchet-rod guns step the plunger forward in notches and keep pushing product after release, which is why they are usually chosen for rough work rather than tidy finish beads.
3) Do I need a separate knife and nail to open a caulk tube with the CG101?
No. The gun carries both a spout cutter to trim the nozzle to the bead width you want and a seal puncture tool to break the foil seal inside the tube, so one tool opens and dispenses. That matters on a service call where you are not carrying a full tool bag.
4) Can I use the Metallics CG101 for electrical duct seal and firestop caulk, not just construction sealant?
Yes, as long as the material comes in a 1/10 gallon cartridge. The CG101 is an electrical trade item and is stocked alongside conduit plugs and seals, so it is the gun electricians use for duct seal, firestop caulk and conduit sealant cartridges.
5) What is the Metallics part number for this 1/10 gallon caulking gun?
Order it as Metallics CG101. That is the manufacturer part number for the 1/10 gallon smooth rod gun with the built-in puncture tool and spout cutter.
