The Simpson S16N200GS 1/2-in. Crown, 16-Gauge, 2-in. Type 304 Stainless Steel Collated Staples are engineered by Simpson for demanding construction fastening tasks including plywood sheathing, floor decking, and insulation installation. Built from Type 304 stainless steel, these collated staples deliver high-level corrosion resistance in applications where moisture exposure is a real concern. With 10,000 staples per box, they are a practical choice for contractors and builders looking to reduce driving force and increase installation speed across large-scale projects. Compatible with many major manufacturers' pneumatic tools, they integrate readily into professional fastening workflows.

Key Features

• 1/2-in. crown width - provides consistent, secure holding power across the fastened surface, reducing the risk of pull-through on sheathing and decking materials
• 16-gauge wire - offers a reliable balance of strength and driveability, making it well-suited for structural fastening applications like floor decking and plywood sheathing
• 2-in. length - delivers deep, solid penetration into substrate materials, ensuring a firm, lasting hold in insulation, sheathing, and trim work
• Type 304 stainless steel construction - provides high-level corrosion resistance, keeping fasteners performing reliably in moisture-prone environments over the long term
• Collated format with 10,000 staples included - reduces reloading time on the job site and supports faster, more efficient installation across high-volume projects
• Compatible with many major manufacturers' pneumatic tools - allows straightforward integration into existing tool setups without requiring specialized equipment

Why This Product

• Corrosion resistance built for real-world conditions - Type 304 stainless steel construction means these staples hold up where galvanized or plain steel fasteners may fail, making them a dependable choice for sheathing, decking, and insulation work exposed to moisture
• Sized and gauged for structural fastening tasks - the combination of a 1/2-in. crown, 16-gauge wire, and 2-in. length is specifically designed for plywood sheathing, floor decking, and insulation, so buyers get a fastener matched to the job rather than a general-purpose compromise
• High-volume packaging reduces downtime - 10,000 collated staples per box means fewer interruptions to reload on large installations, directly supporting the faster driving speeds that collated staples are designed to provide
• Broad pneumatic tool compatibility - working with many major manufacturers' pneumatic staplers, these staples fit into a wide range of existing professional tool inventories without requiring a dedicated or proprietary tool
