Product Information
Full details
The Rapid 140/8Nb staples are precision-engineered for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require a secure hold on thin or delicate materials. Their flat wire design provides a superior surface area for fastening, making them an excellent choice for installing insulation, membranes, and plastic sheeting. While they offer exceptional holding power, users must ensure their specific tacker model is compatible with the 140-series staple type to avoid jamming.

FAQs
Are these staples rust-proof?
They are made from high-performance galvanized steel, which provides significant resistance to rust and corrosion in indoor and semi-outdoor environments.
Can I use these in a non-Rapid brand staple gun?
These staples are designed specifically for Rapid 140-series tackers. While they may fit other brands, we recommend using them only with Rapid tools to guarantee performance.
What does the 140/8 designation mean?
140 refers to the wire type/series, and 8 refers to the leg length in millimeters.
What is the best use for the flat wire design?
Flat wire is best for thin, soft materials like plastic film, house wrap, and thin membranes because it won't cut through the material like round wire.
How many staples come in this pack?
Each pack contains 970 individual staples.
Are these suitable for fixing cables?
No, these are not cable staples. Using these on cables may damage the insulation or copper wires.
Troubleshooting
Staples are not firing correctly or jamming
Clear the magazine and verify that the staple size (140-series) matches your tool requirements. Check the channel for any bent staples.
Staple leaves a gap between material and crown
Adjust the driving force or power setting on your tacker; if the tool is manual, ensure you are holding the tool firmly against the surface.
Staple is bending upon impact
You may be firing into a surface that is too dense. Ensure you are using the correct staple length for the material hardness.

Care Instructions:
- Keep the staples in their original box in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture accumulation on the galvanized surface.

- Do not attempt to force the staple strip into the magazine if it does not slide in smoothly.
