Topaz Lighting 185I – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What cable types and gauges will the Topaz 183I insulated staple hold?
The 183I has a 1/2 inch staple opening and takes AC 14/2 and 14/3, MC 14/2 and 14/3, NM 14/2 through 10/3, and UF 14/2 and 12/2. That covers most residential and light commercial rough-in with one staple, so a crew running a mix of NM homeruns and MC drops doesn't need two boxes on the belt.
2) Will an insulated staple keep from cutting into NM cable jacket?
That's the point of the insulating saddle on the Topaz 18 Series staples. The saddle sits between the steel leg span and the cable so there's no direct metal-to-cable contact, which protects the jacket from abrasion when the staple is driven home. A bare steel staple over-driven on 14/2 romex is a common jacket-damage callback; the insulated version is what inspectors on multi-family work generally prefer to see.
3) How many Topaz 183I cable staples come in a pack?
100 staples per pack. For a rough-in crew that's a practical box quantity, since NM has to be secured at regular intervals along every stud and joist run and a single-family rough-in will burn through several hundred staples.
4) Can I use these staples on metal studs?
No. The 183I is a driven steel staple meant for wood framing, joists, studs and similar structural members in new construction and remodel work. For steel stud framing you need a cable clip or push-in strap made for punched knockouts, not a staple.
5) Can I staple MC or armored cable with the same staple I use for romex?
Yes, with the 183I. It's rated for AC 14/2 and 14/3 and MC 14/2 and 14/3 as well as NM and UF, so one staple handles the armored drops and the non-metallic homeruns on the same job. The steel body carries the holding strength for the heavier armored jacket.
6) Can I staple two NM cables under one 183I staple?
The 1/2 inch opening on the 183I is sized for a single cable from 14/2 up to 10/3. Doubling 12/2 under one staple will typically not seat without deforming the jackets. Run one cable per staple, or move to a larger opening in the 18 Series if you need to stack.
7) Is the Topaz 183I okay for UF cable on an outdoor or underground feeder run?
The 183I is listed for UF 14/2 and 12/2 and the description calls out UF routing and surface attachment as a typical application. Bear in mind the staple is steel, so for exposed exterior work factor in the environment the same way you would with any steel fastener.
