Metallics FST100I – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Metallics FST100I insulated cable staple fit?
The FST100I is sized for #10, #12 and #14 conductors, which covers the common NM-B branch circuit cable runs on residential and light commercial work. The staple itself measures 1-1/4 by 9/16 inches.
2) Are Metallics FST100I cable staples Buy American and ARRA compliant for a government or institutional job?
Yes on both counts. The FST100I is flagged Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as the United States, which is what a public agency or institutional procurement file normally needs on a fastener line item.
3) Will an insulated staple like the FST100I damage the cable jacket when I drive it?
That is the point of the insulated design. The FST100I is built from steel with a plastic saddle, so the bearing surface against the cable is plastic rather than bare metal. Metallics lists it for better cable protection compared with a plain steel staple.
4) How many staples come in a jar of Metallics FST100I?
They ship 500 to a jar. The catalogued order minimum is 250 each, and Metallics offers other sizes and quantities on request if 500 is the wrong count for your job.
5) Can I staple two cables under one FST100I staple?
No. At 1-1/4 by 9/16 inches the FST100I crown is sized for a single cable in the #10 to #14 range. Stacking two cables under one staple crushes the jacket and defeats the insulated saddle. Run one staple per cable, or step up to a wider strap for multiple runs.
6) Is the FST100I a hand-driven staple or does it fit a staple gun?
It is a hand-driven insulated cable staple with two legs, set with a hammer. Nothing in the Metallics data covers gun compatibility, so plan on hand setting along studs and joists for NM cable in the #10 through #14 range.
7) How much does a jar of 500 Metallics insulated cable staples weigh for shipping?
A jar runs 3.5 pounds, in a container measuring 3.5 by 3.5 by 5.75 inches. Useful if you are ordering staples by the case for a multi-unit rough-in and need to plan the pallet.
