Radiant-heating PEX stapler
The Malco PWS1 is a manual, magazine-fed stapler built for in-floor radiant heating work. It drives PEX-to-wood or foam-board staples from a standing position so installers can secure tubing without kneeling. The tool accepts 3/8, 1/2 or 5/8-in. PEX and uses ring-shank or dual-barb staples for reliable holding power.
Standing operation and staple feed
An ergonomic D-grip aligns the wrist for downward pressure while the one-piece engineered-polymer magazine balances weight over the head. A non-stick slide feeds staples to the plunger and a leaf-spring stop positions each staple to reduce deformation or jams. The head clamps the tubing during each stroke for consistent placement.
Installers who need fast, upright PEX fastening
Suited for contractors laying radiant loops over wooden sub-floors or foam board who want single-stroke speed and reduced fatigue. Not suited for jobs that require pneumatic or electric actuation, for fastening materials other than PEX tubing, or for staple sizes outside the three listed diameters.
