Arrow 196IP Light-duty Staple 3/8 Inch Leg 5000 Pack

Product Description

The ARROW 196IP is a light-duty staple manufactured from high carbon steel, designed for use with compatible light-duty staple guns in general fastening applications. With a 3/8 inch leg length and 3/8 inch width, this staple delivers consistent penetration and holding power in thin materials such as fabric, screening, insulation wrap, vapor barrier sheeting, and light trim work. Sold in a 5000-count pack, the 196IP suits contractors, installers, and service technicians who need a reliable bulk supply for repetitive fastening tasks on the job site or in the shop.

This staple is appropriate for light-duty applications in residential and commercial settings. Typical use cases include securing insulation batts, attaching vapor barriers, fastening fabric to wood frames, and general stapling tasks where a thin, consistent fastener is required. The high carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for soft to medium-density substrates without overpenetrating or bending on contact.

Installation Notes

Loading and use of staples should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with the tool manufacturer guidelines for the specific staple gun in use. Always confirm the staple gun is unloaded and the safety mechanism is engaged before opening the magazine for loading. Inspect the substrate for hidden utilities before stapling into walls, floors, or ceilings. Follow applicable local building codes when securing insulation, vapor barriers, or other building envelope materials.
