Does anyone know if I can use the following stapler to install Mannington Lynnhaven 1/2 inch engineered hardwood flooring.

Yes , I use the same stapler.
Mannington does specify that a "staple" installation is acceptable on that product.
Minimum staple length is 1" ( I would go 1 1/4" - 1 3/8 " ).
Mannington does specify certain types of subfloors are not acceptable for stapling.
What type of subfloor material are you going over ?

My mistake, that's the 20 gauge. My Bostitch 18 gauge will shoot a longer staple.

Bostitch does advertise the 20 gauge for 1/2" wood thickness. I can't locate specs from Mannington on fastener length. I would give them a call, especially since this is a 5" plank.

the product specified in the above link will shoot up to 1 3/8 inch according to the manual and I use them all the time.
