I have been watching this thread and I have not been too surprised about some of the replies. But first let me say that I have used staples to secure boxes, but that was many years ago and I wouldn't use them today. With that said I have a couple of questions. First, in this area we use Briscon staples and has anyone looked a container on what they say on it for instruction? I will say it doesn't say anything about boxes, so does that mean they can be used for mounting them. Second, how many times have I read "follow the manufactures instructions"? Third, these staples are UL approved maybe someone could tell me what they say if anything about what they can be used for. I would also tell you that a local inspector made an electrician remove all the staples he used to mount his boxes, maybe because of the first question.
