Metallics FST350 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size cable does the Metallics FST350 staple fit?
The FST350 is a 1-1/2 by 1-1/16 inch cable staple, so the 1-1/16 inch crown is what sets your cable capacity. That width takes bundled or larger non-metallic cable runs rather than a single small 14/2 conductor, and the 1-1/2 inch leg length gives enough penetration into a wood stud or joist to seat the crown flat without crushing the jacket.
2) Can I use these staples on metal-clad or armored cable?
No. Metallics marks the FST350 as N.M.C., for use on non-metallic cable only, so it is intended for NM/Romex type wiring. For MC, AC, or metallic conduit you need a strap or clamp rated for that wiring method, not this staple.
3) Do these cable staples meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a federal job?
Yes. The FST350 staple is made in the United States and is flagged both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, which is what a government, school, or healthcare procurement file usually needs on a domestic-preference project.
4) Are these insulated staples, and does that matter for the cable jacket?
They are non-insulated steel staples, meaning there is no plastic saddle between the crown and the cable. Steel bears directly on the jacket, so drive them until the crown just contacts the cable and stop. If your spec calls for a plastic-saddle insulated staple to protect the jacket, this is not that part.
5) How many Metallics FST350 staples come in a box?
The FST350 ships as a 500-piece box, and 500 each is the order minimum, so you are buying a full box rather than loose counts. The box weighs 6.41 lbs. Metallics does make other sizes and quantities available by request if 500 of this size is not the run you need.
6) How heavy a gauge are the FST350 staple legs?
These are 10 gauge steel staples, a heavy wire by cable-staple standards. That stiffness lets them drive into framing lumber without the legs folding over, which is the usual complaint with lighter-gauge staples on hard or dry studs.
7) Are Metallics FST350 staples hand driven or do they go in a staple gun?
These are hand-driven staples. At 10 gauge with a 1-1/2 inch leg and a 1-1/16 inch crown, they are set with a hammer against wood framing, not loaded into a collated stapler. For a rough-in crew that means a hammer and a careful last tap so the crown does not bite the cable jacket.
