Dewalt DW16S2-38GAL 16 Gauge Galvanized Staple 1 in 2000 Pk

Product Description

The DEWALT DW16S2-38GAL is a 16-gauge galvanized steel construction staple designed for fastening applications in framing, sheathing, and general construction work. Each staple features a 1-inch leg length and is finished with a galvanized coating to resist corrosion in demanding job-site environments. The narrow 1/16-inch wire width allows consistent penetration into substrate materials without splitting. Sold in a pack of 2000, this staple is sized for high-volume fastening tasks where reliability and consistent holding power matter. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors are the primary installers of this fastener type.

These staples are suited for residential and light commercial construction applications including subflooring, housewrap attachment, insulation facing, and similar assemblies where a non-insulated steel staple is appropriate. The galvanized finish makes them a practical choice in environments with moderate moisture exposure, such as exterior sheathing installations or crawlspace work. The 2000-piece pack quantity supports sustained production-pace fastening without frequent reloading.

Key Features

• 16-gauge steel wire for consistent drive performance and holding strength
• 1-inch leg length for secure penetration into standard construction substrates
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in moisture-exposed applications
• Non-insulated design suited for structural and general fastening use
• 2000 staples per pack supports high-volume production workflows
• 1/16-inch wire width minimizes substrate splitting on installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement staple for 16-gauge construction staple tools compatible with 1-inch leg, 1/16-inch crown staples. Verify your staple gun or pneumatic nailer manufacturer specifications before use to confirm gauge and crown dimensions match.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, framers, or general contractors using a compatible 16-gauge pneumatic or manual staple gun. Always confirm the tool magazine accepts the crown width and leg length of this staple before loading. Disconnect the tool from its air supply or power source before clearing jams or loading fasteners. Follow applicable building code requirements for fastener spacing and penetration depth in structural assemblies.
