Ideal Industries BCS1-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the IDEAL 1/2 inch staple work on NM (Romex) cable?
Yes, that's what it's built for. The IDEAL BCS1 carbon steel staple measures 1/2 inch by 1 inch and is intended for wider cable such as NM. The 1/2 inch crown gives the flat jacket of NM room to sit without being crushed, and the sharp-point legs drive straight into wood framing without splitting it.
2) What pack sizes does the IDEAL BCS1 staple come in?
Four pack options: 100 per box (BCS1-1), 500 per box (BCS1-5), 500 per jar (BCS1-JR), and 5,000 per bucket (BCS1-5M). The small box suits a service truck or a single rough-in; the 5,000 bucket is the volume pack for a crew running a whole building.
3) Is this an insulated staple or a bare metal one?
Bare metal. The BCS1 is a one-piece high-grade carbon steel staple with no plastic insulator or saddle. If your spec calls for an insulated or plastic-saddle staple for NM cable, this is not that part.
4) Do I need a special staple gun for the IDEAL BCS1, or is it hand-driven?
The BCS1 is a hand-driven hammer staple, 1/2 inch by 1 inch, with sharp points on the legs. You set it with a hammer against the stud or joist, not with a cable stapler.
5) Will these staples rust in a damp basement or crawlspace?
The carbon steel used in the BCS1 staple is specified to resist rust and corrosion, so it holds up better than plain untreated steel in damp framing. It is still a bare steel fastener, not stainless, so for direct exposure to weather or standing moisture pick a corrosion-rated fastener instead.
