The 1308 combines an 8mm leg with the 10.5mm crown and fine-wire profile of the KYA 13 Series. The relatively thin wire helps reduce the visible size of the fastener compared with heavier staple systems, which is useful for fabric, upholstery and other finish-sensitive work.
The correct stapler must match the 13 Series crown, wire dimensions, strip geometry and 8mm leg length. A staple gun that accepts another 22 gauge fastener is not automatically compatible.
KYA identifies the 13 Series as a 22 gauge fine-wire system. The published wire section is approximately 0.75mm wide by 0.54mm thick.
Actual wire dimensions are useful when cross-referencing staples because manufacturers can use different series names for fasteners that appear similar.
The 13 Series uses a nominal 10.5mm crown. Crown width is one of the primary magazine and driver compatibility dimensions and should be checked together with the wire section.
The 13 Series is available in 4–14mm leg lengths across separate sizes; the 1308 / 13-08 model shown here has an 8mm / approximately 5/16-inch leg.
The chisel-point leg geometry is designed to support penetration into suitable upholstery, fabric, board and wood-based substrates when used with the correct stapler and leg length.
Chisel-point legs support penetration into suitable substrates; results depend on the material, staple length and tool settings.
The featured 1308 is a galvanized steel staple. The zinc-coated surface provides corrosion protection compared with untreated bright steel, making it suitable for general protected and appropriate light-exposure applications.
For sustained moisture, exterior exposure, treated materials or other corrosive environments, confirm whether stainless steel or another material specification is required.
The staples are glue collated into straight strips for magazine feeding in compatible staplers. Correct strip geometry and tool condition help support consistent feeding.
Glue collation keeps staples aligned for feeding. Performance depends on strip condition, magazine cleanliness, driver condition and tool maintenance.
The model number identifies the staple family and leg length. For example, 1308 refers to the 13 Series with an 8mm leg.
| KYA Size | Leg Length | Crown | Wire |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13/04 | 4mm | 10.5mm | Approximately 0.75 × 0.54mm |
| 13/06 | 6mm | 10.5mm | Approximately 0.75 × 0.54mm |
| 13/08 / 1308 | 8mm | 10.5mm | Approximately 0.75 × 0.54mm |
| 13/10 | 10mm | 10.5mm | Approximately 0.75 × 0.54mm |
| 13/12 | 12mm | 10.5mm | Approximately 0.75 × 0.54mm |
| 13/14 | 14mm | 10.5mm | Approximately 0.75 × 0.54mm |
Use the 1308 when the stapler and application call for the 8mm leg. Other leg lengths are separate 13 Series sizes and should be ordered by their own size designation.
Stapler compatibility should be based on the complete fastener geometry rather than gauge alone. For the KYA 1308, compare the 10.5mm crown, approximately 0.75 × 0.54mm wire section, 8mm leg and straight-strip collation with the stapler manufacturer's specification.
| Staple / Tool Reference | Comparison with KYA 1308 | Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| BeA 13/08-Type Systems | Market cross-references use 22GA 13/08 for upholstery staples in the same general 8mm leg class | Compare crown, wire section and magazine specification before substitution |
| SENCO H Series | SENCO currently identifies H Wire as 20GA with a 7/16" crown | The 20GA / 7/16-inch crown dimensions differ from KYA 13 Series 22GA / 10.5mm crown |
| Josef Kihlberg JK670 | JK670 is a separate 22GA fine-wire series commonly identified with an approximately 3/8" crown | The 3/8-inch crown is narrower than KYA 13 Series 10.5mm; compare all dimensions before selection |
| Omer Systems | Omer offers multiple fine-wire staple systems with different crown and wire dimensions | Use the exact Omer staple or tool reference rather than the generic term "Omer 13" |
| Other 13 Series Staplers | Specifications vary by manufacturer | Confirm 10.5mm crown, 0.75 × 0.54mm wire, 8mm leg and straight-strip format |
When purchasing replacement staples for an existing tool, provide the stapler manufacturer, exact model and current staple designation. Similar gauge numbers or leg lengths alone do not prove compatibility.
The 22GA fine-wire profile is suited to fastening applications where a small staple cross-section is useful and the substrate can accept an 8mm leg.
Furniture upholstery
Automotive upholstery and interior trim
Fabric attachment
Roofing felt and underlayment where fine-wire staples are permitted
House wrap and selected membrane fastening
Insulation materials
Furniture backs and casebacks
Screening and light mesh
Picture-frame and light trim work
Craft and light assembly applications
For roofing membranes, house wrap or insulation, follow the material manufacturer's fastening requirements. Some systems require caps, wider-crown fasteners, stainless steel or other specific fastening methods.
Fine-wire staples are commonly used to attach fabric, backing materials and upholstery components while keeping the visible staple profile relatively small.
The 8mm leg is suitable where the combined fabric and substrate thickness allows adequate penetration without requiring a longer 10mm, 12mm or 14mm 13 Series staple.
The 22GA fine-wire format can be used in selected automotive upholstery and trim assembly where the stapler and substrate are compatible with the 13 Series geometry.
Vehicle trim materials and backing substrates vary. Test the staple length and tool settings on the actual component before production use.
KYA lists roofing felt, house wrap and insulation among the applications for its 13 Series. Comparable professional fine-wire staple systems are also used for felt and insulation fastening.
The fastening schedule and staple material should follow the membrane or insulation manufacturer's instructions. Galvanized fine-wire staples are not automatically suitable for every exterior or long-term weather-exposed installation.
The featured 1308 configuration is galvanized steel. The product options also list steel, stainless steel and aluminum materials, with silver and gold color choices; confirm availability for the selected size and finish.
| Material | General Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| Galvanized Steel | Featured 1308 configuration for general upholstery, fabric and protected fastening applications where the zinc coating meets the environment |
| Stainless Steel | Separate material option for applications requiring higher corrosion resistance; confirm availability in the required 13 Series size |
| Aluminum | Separate lightweight material option where aluminum staples are specified; confirm the exact size and tool requirement |
Leg length should be selected according to the thickness and compressibility of the material being attached, the receiving substrate and the stapler's accepted fastener range.
| Leg Length | General Selection Consideration |
|---|---|
| 4mm | Thin covering materials and shallow fastening where the stapler supports 13/04 |
| 6mm | Light fabric and thin upholstery assemblies |
| 8mm / 1308 | Featured size for general upholstery, fabric and light fastening applications |
| 10–14mm | Thicker assemblies requiring additional penetration where the stapler and substrate permit the longer leg |
These are selection considerations rather than fixed material-thickness limits. Test the chosen staple in the actual substrate when penetration depth is important.
Different 22 gauge staple families can use different crowns even when their wire thickness and leg lengths appear similar.
| Staple Family | Gauge | Crown | Compatibility Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| KYA 13 Series | 22GA | 10.5mm | Featured 1308 family |
| SENCO C-Wire | 22GA | 3/8" | Different crown system; do not assume interchangeability |
| SENCO B-Wire | 22GA | 1/2" | Different crown system |
| Josef Kihlberg JK670 | 22GA | Approximately 3/8" | Separate fine-wire staple family |
| SENCO H-Wire | 20GA | 7/16" | Different gauge and crown; not a direct KYA 13 Series equivalent |
For this reason, the words "22 gauge staple" are not enough to identify a replacement. Always check crown width, wire section, leg length and strip geometry.
