Metallics CST40 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size cable staple is the Metallics CST40, and what cable does it hold?
The CST40 is a 1 inch by 1/2 inch non-insulated cable staple. The 1/2 inch crown is what sits over the cable, so it is sized for typical residential NM-B (Romex) runs, and the 1 inch leg length gives it bite into wood studs and joists.
2) Do Metallics CST40 cable staples meet Buy American requirements for a federal or public project?
Yes. The CST40 is flagged both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant, and country of origin is the United States, which is what a government or institutional submittal package normally asks for on fasteners.
3) Is the CST40 staple insulated or bare metal?
Bare metal. The CST40 is a non-insulated steel staple, with no plastic saddle over the crown. For jacketed cable where you want a cushioned bearing surface, choose an insulated staple instead; for standard framing runs the non-insulated steel version is the usual choice.
4) How many staples come in a box of Metallics CST40?
They ship 100 to a box, and 100 count is the order minimum, so one box is the smallest quantity you can buy. Metallics lists other sizes and quantities on request if a job needs a different pack.
5) Will a 1 inch leg cable staple hold in a 2x4 stud without going through?
Yes. At 1 inch of leg, the CST40 seats well inside nominal framing lumber, which is 1-1/2 inches thick at a 2x4's narrow face, so the legs stop short of the far side. Drive it flush without crushing the cable jacket.
6) What is the shipping weight of a 100-count box of CST40 staples?
A box runs 0.595 lbs, with carton dimensions of 2.5 x 2.5 x 2.75 inches. Light and small enough that a service tech can keep several sizes on the truck without eating bin space.
7) What is the exact part number to order these Metallics staples under?
Order by manufacturer part number CST40, Metallics brand, described as a 1 x 1/2 non-insulated steel cable staple, 100 per box.
