Malco FBSN PEX Foamboard Stapler – Stand-Up in-Floor Radiant Heat Stapler | Non-Jamming Leaf Spring Feed | Ergonomic D-Grip | Fits 3/8", 1/2" & 5/8" PEX on 1" & 2" Foamboard

Features

• THE STAND-UP PEX STAPLER BUILT FOR IN-FLOOR RADIANT HEAT INSTALLATIONS: The Malco FBSN lets you secure PEX tubing to foamboard insulation from a comfortable standing position; no bending, no kneeling, no knee pads required. Whether you're running 500 feet or 6,000 feet of tubing across a slab, the FBSN turns an exhausting job into a rhythm you can maintain all day.
• FITS 3/8", 1/2" & 5/8" PEX ON 1-INCH AND 2-INCH FOAMBOARD: Malco's exclusive dual-barbed plastic foamboard staples accommodate all three common PEX sizes and work with both 1-inch foamboard (use FBSN1 staples, 1-1/2") and 2-inch foamboard (use FBSN2 staples, 2-1/2"). Compatible with most other foamboard stapling systems. Not for use on EPS-type foamboard.
• PATENT-PENDING NON-JAMMING LEAF SPRING FEED SYSTEM: A leaf spring-controlled stop automatically adjusts to seat each staple and guide it through the fastening mechanism without jamming or deforming. Magazine loading strips of 25 staples are joined by discreet micro-welds that separate cleanly as each staple engages and delivers a smooth, uninterrupted feed from first staple to last.
• CONVERT TO WOOD SUBFLOOR STAPLING WITH THE PWSK1 KIT (SOLD SEPARATELY): The FBSN isn't limited to foamboard. Add the PWSK1 conversion kit to use PWS2 staples for securing PEX directly to a wooden subfloor. One tool, two installation methods. Pairs with Malco dual-barbed staples (FBSN1, FBSN2, FBS1BX, FBS2BX) for maximum holding power and pull-out resistance.

Description

For in-floor radiant heating installations. This easy- loading manual stapler, with magazine feed, operates from a standing position to quickly and easily secure a layout of PEX pipe (polyethylene cross-linked tubing) to a foamboard base. Malco's efficient, ergonomic, stapler design offers maximum control for comfortable one-handed, one-stroke staple insertion. The stapler head holds the PEX in place as staples are fed, via a non-stick polymer slide, to the plunger assembly. A leaf-spring controlled stop sets up each staple to avoid risk of deforming connections or jamming the stapler. The durable, lightweight magazine slide is made of a solid, one-piece engineered-polymer which balances the tool by directing the weight over the stapler head. An in-line D-grip correctly positions the user's hand and wrist for applying downward pressure while stapling, and when lifting and moving the tool. Exclusive Malco plastic foamboard staple designs accommodate 3/8, 1/2 or 5/8-in. (9.5, 2.7 or 15.1 mm) PEX and feature dual barbs for increased bite and holding power. These staples are also compatible with most other foamboard stapling systems. Malco 1-1/2 inch (38.1 mm) staples are designed for 1 inch (25.4 mm) foamboard. Additional barbs on 2-1/2 inch (63.5 mm) staples "double the holding power" in 2 inch (50.8 mm) foamboard. Discreet micro welds on the 25-piece staple loading strips separate cleanly as they are engaged in the stapler mechanism, and a staple weight added to the magazine slide ensures a smooth steady feed for uninterrupted stapling. A retractable wire-form stand allows the stapler to remain upright and spill-proof when not in use or when reloading staples. From the Manufacturer For in-floor radiant heating installations.
