Ecm Industries Llc MS-175 Metal Cable Staple 100 Pack

Product Description

The ECM INDUSTRIES LLC MS-175 is a metal cable staple designed to secure 3-conductor non-metallic (NM) wire to wood framing, joists, and studs. Each staple measures 9/16 inch in width, sized to fit standard 3-conductor NM cable without pinching or damaging the outer jacket. Sold in a box of 100, this staple is a staple-supply item for residential electrical rough-in work. Electricians use these during new construction and remodel projects to keep NM cable runs neat, code-compliant, and protected along framing members.

The MS-175 is suited for residential wiring applications where 3-conductor NM cable must be fastened at regular intervals per NEC requirements. Common install scenarios include securing cable along stud bays, across joists, and at entry points near boxes. The boxed 100-count format is practical for full rough-in jobs where a high volume of fasteners is needed without frequent restocking.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician during rough-in framing stages. Power should be off and the circuit de-energized before stapling near any existing wiring. NEC guidelines specify maximum spacing intervals between cable staples and require fastening within a set distance of electrical boxes — consult the current NEC edition for exact requirements. Do not overdrive staples, as this can damage the cable jacket and create a code violation or fire hazard.
