Can I use the nv90 to install fiber cement siding?

You could by turning the pressure way down but it will leave divets in your siding. You'd be better off getting a "flush nailer" more suited to siding.Also I believe if you read the "Warranty" for the fiber cement siding, it will say hand nail only

You cannot use cement to install , you will need a easy access for replace battery if it needed .

You would need to screw it to the wall. If you are ok with drilling your siding then you would need to drill trough the siding and screw it to the OSB (Oriented Strand Board) (or whatever is behind the siding).

If I remember right, it comes with bolts that can be used in concrete. You might have to get lag bolts that will penatrate deep enough to go into your particular siding in order to reach at least an inch into your building studs. Otherwise there's not much to the installation other than you will need two people. I did have a failure of one of the arms that broke after about two months. They were very accommodating and after sending a picture of the damage they quickly sent a new arm (easy to install). I disassembled the old arm to see what made it work and found that it was extremely easy to repair, so I kept the old part. They didn't request that it be sent back. For the money, I am very satisfied with this product. I've had it a year and it's doing fine. It just doesn't like wind over 7 or 8 mph although it takes higher winds well if not rolled out to it's limits.

It drives 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 coil nails. The depth adjustment on the front may need to be changed slightly when attaching a softer material like cedar shingles and if that isn't enough you can also adjust your air pressure. I doubt you will have any problem with any kind of siding materials using this gun. I professionally install siding and have never had a problem with this gun. I would rate it 5 stars.

Sorry, haven't tried it yet. So far only using it for Hardie Siding and it works great.

Hardie instructions say you can use a roofing nail, and that's what I'm currently doing. The big heads on roofing nails tend to get bent and you'll want to keep a hammer on your belt to fix the occasional error, but they work fine. If you're going to do a lot of fiber cement, though, get a siding gun. I highly recommend switching to a sequential trip trigger, so it only shoots one nail at a time. Bump mode will sometimes double-fire on you and that gets messy in a hurry. I got the #107582 trigger from my local service center for $3.85, but I had to pick up a spring from the hardware store to make it work properly.

I think that you would rather have the siding nailer,BOSTITCH N66C-1 1-1/4-inch to 2-1/2-inch Coil Siding Nailer with Aluminum Housing. The siding nailer will put ring shanks into cement siding. The RN46 is a roofing gun, the heads on the nails would be too big.

Would not drive through Hardy board (cement fiber ) , nails bent and had to be pulled out,I purchased a Porter Cable 21 degree framing nailer that will drive 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 ring joint or framing nails for less than $200 dollarsand it will drive through any thickness and the dept setting is simple,

No, I used it for the James Hardy 3/8(?) X 8 1/4 siding, but I think it would work equally as well for the cedar siding. There is room to allow for that thickness. I was very pleased with how easy it made putting the siding go on.

yes. you can use crimp or solder. I use ethernet cable to extend runs since you have spares and can add other connections.

Hi, Yes you can, as long as the rest of your components are compatible with 3x9 speeds. Good luck!

I haven't tried it with backer cement board, but if you can get a screw through it with a standard screw gun, the Bosch is worth the money! It's strong and it saves a ton of time.

I have ran 15 degree wire nails in it and didn't have a any issues. I was using it for sub floor and it sank nails fine. I would say the nv75 has more power and a more enclosed feeder for the nails but the 65 has been very dependable for siding and trim.

I have not used it for the application you are asking about. The can states "for fiberglass/ asphalt shingles". Their phone # is 1-800-289-7290 (CO). I would call them and describe want you want to use it for and see what they say.

Yes it will work well for that. Hardie siding can be installed with this as manufacturers installation only requires 1" penetration into the stud. If nailing into sheathing then longer nails won't matter. This nails up to 1 3/4". Please refer to pages 11 and 12 of their best practice guide where this model is specifically mentioned as recommended for Hardieplank. See the link below, page 11 and 12. http://www.jameshardie.com/pdf/best-practices/hz/hz5-best-practice-guide-us-intro-tools.pdf Thanks, ADP

Nope. Just thin cement siding. Backer is to stiff and thick. Believe me, I've tried it on several materials. Was designed for thick material.
