Metallics CST40I – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Metallics CST40I insulated cable staple fit?
The CST40I is sized for #12 and #14 conductors, which covers 12/2 and 14/2 NM cable runs. If you are stapling a larger cable or a conductor outside #12 or #14, this is the wrong staple for the run.
2) Is the CST40I staple insulated, or will it cut into the cable jacket?
It is an insulated cable staple built from steel and plastic, so the plastic saddle bears on the cable jacket rather than bare steel. That is the reason to spec it over a plain steel staple on NM runs where you are driving a lot of them and do not want nicked jackets.
3) Does the CST40I cable staple meet Buy American requirements for a federal job?
Yes. The Metallics CST40I is made in the United States and is flagged both ARRA compliant and Buy American compliant, so it clears domestic-sourcing language on federally funded work.
4) Can I get Metallics insulated cable staples in a size other than 1 x 1/2?
The CST40I is the 1 x 1/2 insulated staple, and other sizes and quantities in the line are available by request. If you are stapling a cable bundle or a larger jacketed cable than #12 or #14 takes, ask for the larger size rather than forcing this one.
5) How much does a jar of 100 CST40I staples weigh for shipping or a van stock list?
A jar of 100 runs 0.59 lbs, and the jar itself measures 2.5 x 2.5 x 2.75 inches. Small enough that several sizes live in one bin on the truck.
6) Is the CST40I a hand-driven staple or does it go in a staple gun?
It is a hand-driven insulated cable staple with its own integral nails, so it is set with a hammer, not loaded into a magazine. That is what lets you seat it over the cable without crushing the jacket.
