Ecm Industries Llc PS-50 Nm Cable Staple 1/2 Inch 50 Pack

Product Description

The ECM INDUSTRIES LLC PS-50 is a 50-pack of 1/2 inch plastic non-metallic cable staples designed to secure NM and UF wiring during rough-in electrical installations. Made from non-metallic plastic, these staples provide a code-appropriate fastening method that will not damage cable insulation. Each staple is sized to fit 14/2 or 12/2 non-metallic sheathed cable and underground feeder cable. The pack arrives bagged for easy handling on the job site. Licensed electricians and skilled trades use these staples when fastening branch circuit wiring to framing members in residential and light commercial construction.

These cable staples are suited for residential rough-in work where NM cable runs need to be secured along studs, joists, and other framing. They are appropriate for use with 14/2 and 12/2 NM cable as well as 14/2 and 12/2 UF cable. The 50-count bag is practical for single-room rough-in jobs or as a stock item for service vans. The plastic construction avoids the conductivity risk associated with metallic fasteners when stapling non-metallic cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 334 requirements for NM cable support and securing. Power down the circuit or confirm the branch is de-energized before working in the area. Drive staples snug against the cable without crushing or deforming the sheathing, as over-driven fasteners can damage insulation and create a code violation. Follow local AHJ requirements for staple spacing along runs and within required distances of boxes and fittings.
