Metallics JIST18B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size wire does the Metallics JIST18B insulated staple hold?
The JIST18B is a 1/8 inch by 11/16 inch insulated staple, so the 1/8 inch opening is what sets the wire it will sit over, and the 11/16 inch leg length is what goes into the wood. It is sized for small low-voltage and bell/thermostat type wire runs rather than for romex cable, which needs a wider plastic-saddle style strap.
2) Will Metallics JIST18B staples satisfy a Buy American or ARRA requirement on a public job?
No. The JIST18B is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and its country of origin is listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic-sourcing language in the spec, this staple will not clear it, so source a domestic-origin fastener for that portion of the work.
3) Are Metallics brown insulated staples OK to use on finished wood trim and baseboard?
Brown is the point of this one. The JIST18B carries a brown insulating coating over the steel staple, so it reads close to stained trim, baseboard and brick molding where a bare galvanized staple would stand out. For white trim or painted drywall edges, pick the white version of the same staple instead.
4) Can I get the Metallics insulated staple in a different size or a bigger pack than the 100-count jar?
Yes. Other sizes and quantities of the Metallics insulated staple line are available by request, so if the 1/8 x 11/16 brown staple in a 100-count jar is not the configuration you need, a different leg length, opening width or bulk quantity can be quoted.
5) Are these staples steel, and will the insulation keep them from cutting the wire?
The staple body is steel for drive strength, with an insulating coating over it. That coating is what separates the metal from the conductor jacket at the crown, which is why an insulated staple is the right call over a bare hardware-store staple on any wire run you want to keep intact.
6) How many Metallics JIST18B staples come in a jar?
They ship 100 staples to a jar, and 100 count is also the order minimum, so the smallest buy is one jar. The jar packaging keeps them from scattering in a tool bag or on a cart, which matters on a day of running doorbell or thermostat wire through several units.
