Minerallac INS66 Insulated Plastic Sheathed Cable Staple, Gray, 100-Pack
The Minerallac INS66 is an insulated plastic sheathed cable staple engineered for securing 3-wire #8 and #6 NM cable, as well as other cable up to 21/32" wide. Built with a zinc plated steel and molded plastic construction and finished in a silver grey (gray) color, this staple combines a rigid metal core with a protective plastic insulator to guard cable jacketing from abrasion and crush damage during installation. Each package contains 100 staples, giving electricians and contractors a ready supply for residential and light commercial wiring projects. The plastic insulator is UV stabilized, making the INS66 suitable for use in severe weather conditions where sunlight exposure and outdoor temperature swings would otherwise degrade an uninsulated fastener. Whether you're roughing in new construction wiring or securing NM cable during a renovation, the INS66 offers a proven, code-conscious fastening method that protects cable jackets while holding cable securely to framing members.
