Can you use this to install vinyl siding

Now I have used this gun on fiber cement. I believe this product can be used on vinyl siding. I think the trick would be adjusting your air pressure on the gun. If I am not mistaken I think vinyl siding should be nailed to give it room to expand and contract. so if you dial the pressure in right I can't see why this product wouldn't work.

I used this nailer to install Hardiplank siding. Its too powrful for vinyl siding. Personally, I wouldn't install vinyl siding on a storage building, much less a house.

No, Typically when you install vinyl siding it is best to hand nail, because you are not supposed to set the nails completely tight. You should leave a little wiggle for the siding to move.

Absolutely! The nail heads are a bit small, but if you dial the regulated pressure on your compressor down to 50 psi or so, AND you drive the nails at an angle, they will consistently lay into the vinyl grooves with room for wiggle. (the head fits perfectly for nail placement) This speeds up putting up siding like nobody's business!

I normally use my Roofing Nailer with a vinyl siding depth adjuster. My Bostitch roofing nailer R46N uses a Vinyl siding adapter rn46. This prevents over driving the nail in to deep which allows the siding room to expand and contract during seasonal temperature changes.

I would say no.. This guns shoots normal (small) head nails and I typically use roofing nails for installing vinyl siding. You also need to leave the nails loose so the vinyl siding can expand and contract. I think it would be hard to leave the nails loose with any power nailer.

Hello Linda,You should be able to attach this to wood or siding with no problem. Sometimes you will need a little extra support, because it is a sturdy product. This can be done by just using a few extra bolts into the studs.

I tried it on vinyl siding and it worked without cracking it. I don't know about the ABS plastic, if it is hard like plexi glass then I think it would probably crack.

I cant get mine to fit on my vinyl siding. they aren't made right. too much curve at the top.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are asking. Are you asking if you can paint this on over vinyl siding? This should be applied directly to a clean, smooth concrete block or poured concrete wall.

This is a framing nailer. It's too powerful and would punch thru the siding. You should use a siding coil nailer.

I used it with Hardipanel siding (4x8 sheets) and it worked excellently. I assume it would work well with Hardiplank as well, but you may need to mount it at a slight angle to match the planking angle, in order to get a tight fit. This is a top notch product.

The product is intended for wood that will not be subjected to repeated wettings. It is for framing and anything else under the WRB. Therefore I would not recommend it for siding application.

Yes it does come with a vinyl siding attachment, although I have yet to use this feature

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).

Yes. I use it with a small Bosch oiless pancake compressor. Terrific nailer. Vinyl siding adapter available

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

I don't think it would be very effective. I would use a sheet of mass loaded vinyl. Homedepot online has it for cheap.

Yes, but only where the studs are (the siding in and by itself is not structurally adequate to support the weight of the awning). You will need to buy your own lag bolts to anchor the brackets into the siding/stud assembly. I am not happy with this product. It sags in the middle a lot. Hope this helps...

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

Yes it works ok for vinyl. I have used mine on vinyl siding for repairs. Cutting around tight corners isn't the greatest, but curves and straight cutting work great. It handles the up and down of pole shed steel with ease also.

It should work.....my nephew-in-law installed mine through kitchen (dry wall) to outside (vinyl siding).
