Metallics FST300 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Metallics FST300 cable staple be used on metal-clad or armored cable?
No. The FST300 is marked N.M.C., meaning it is intended for non-metallic sheathed cable such as romex. For MC or AC cable you need a strap or staple rated for armored cable instead.
2) What size cable will a Metallics FST300 staple straddle?
The staple measures 1-3/8 inches in length with a 13/16 inch width across the crown, so the opening fits non-metallic sheathed cable up to roughly 13/16 inch across. Flat 12/2 or 14/2 NM sits in it easily; larger bundles or stacked runs need a wider staple.
3) Do Metallics FST300 cable staples meet Buy American and ARRA requirements for a public project?
Yes. The FST300 staples are made in the United States and are flagged both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, which is what a government, school, or healthcare procurement file usually needs on the fastener line.
4) Is the FST300 staple insulated?
It is not. The FST300 is a non-insulated steel staple, so the crown bears directly on the cable jacket. Drive it snug, not crushed, to avoid damaging the sheath. If you want a plastic saddle between the metal and the cable, you need an insulated staple.
5) How many Metallics FST300 staples come in a jar?
They ship 500 pieces in a jar, which is the order minimum. That is a stocking quantity for a rough-in crew rather than a small repair pack.
6) How much does a jar of 500 FST300 staples weigh for shipping or shelf planning?
The jar runs 6.26 lbs and measures 4.5 x 4.5 x 7.25 inches, so it stacks on a van shelf or parts bin without repackaging.
7) Can I get the FST300 staple in a different size or a smaller count?
Metallics offers other staple sizes and quantities by request, so if 1-3/8 x 13/16 is not the span you need, or 500 per jar is more than the job calls for, ask for the alternate size or pack.
