Ecm Industries Llc MSI-150 Insulated Cable Staple 1/2 in 100pk

Product Description

The ECM INDUSTRIES LLC MSI-150 is a 100-pack of 1/2 inch insulated metal cable staples designed for securing non-metallic (NM) sheathed cable in residential and light commercial electrical installations. Each staple features an insulating saddle that protects cable jacketing from abrasion and prevents direct contact between the metal fastener and the conductor sheathing. Electricians and wiremen reach for this fastener when running NM cable through wood framing, furring strips, and similar structural members where code requires positive cable support at regular intervals.

These staples are suited for standard residential wiring runs using NM-B cable in new construction and retrofit applications. The boxed 100-count format makes them practical for stock trucks and job-site tool bags alike. Typical use includes securing cable along framing members in walls, floors, and ceilings where the cable must be fastened within a code-required distance of boxes, panels, and junction points per NEC guidelines.

Key Features

• Insulated saddle isolates NM cable sheathing from direct metal contact
• 1/2 inch size fits standard NM cable profiles used in residential wiring
• Metal construction provides a secure, lasting hold in wood framing
• 100-staple pack reduces job-site restocking frequency
• Boxed packaging keeps fasteners organized and protected on the truck

Compatibility

Designed for use with non-metallic sheathed (NM) cable in residential and light commercial electrical installations requiring insulated metal cable staples.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize all circuits in the work area before securing cable near existing wiring or live panels. Drive staples flush against the framing member without over-driving, as deforming the insulating saddle can damage cable sheathing. Maintain staple spacing and proximity to boxes in accordance with the applicable NEC article for the cable type being installed.
