How to choose
- Staple length: choose from 35, 40, 50 and 60 mm staples, or 45, 50 and 55 mm clips. Match the length to the thickness of the insulation in which you are fixing the pipe.
- Collation method: heat-welded staples form a single strip which, according to the product descriptions, feeds through the tacker without jamming, unlike tape-bound strips. Glued staples are also loaded as a strip rather than individually.
- Pipe diameter: the staple grip is 20 mm and is suited to standard PEX/PERT pipes. The 35 mm heat-welded staple is described as suitable for Ø14-22 mm pipes.
- Installation type: choose tacker staples or clips for pipes. Separate red staples are available for foil and mats, while 50 mm and 65 mm fixing staples are available for fastening elsewhere.
- Tacker and pack size: for larger areas, consider tacker kits or packs of 720. Choose a tacker to suit the type of staple: Ultralight, aluminium or a clip tacker.
Typical applications
Staples secure underfloor heating pipes to foil-covered polystyrene insulation in wet screed systems, before the screed is poured. They are used when installing PEX pipes in surface heating systems. Polypropylene staples resist temperature changes and do not break when struck by the tacker.
