Maze Nails CEM8530 Galvanized Siding Nail 2.5 in 5 Lb

Product Description

The MAZE NAILS CEM8530 is a double hot-dipped galvanized siding nail engineered specifically for fiber cement siding installation. Built to the Stormguard standard, each nail carries a heavy galvanized coating that delivers lifetime corrosion resistance, aligning with the long-term warranty requirements of major fiber cement siding manufacturers. At 2.5 inches in length with a 9/32-inch head diameter and a 0.113-inch shank gauge, this nail is sized to penetrate fiber cement panels and drive cleanly into wood framing without splitting or backing out. The 5-pound box contains enough fasteners for a substantial siding run. Installation is performed by professional siding contractors and experienced carpenters.

This nail is intended for use with fiber cement siding products in both residential and light commercial applications. Fiber cement siding requires a corrosion-resistant fastener to prevent rust bleed-through and panel staining over the life of the installation. The double hot-dipped galvanized coating on the CEM8530 meets the corrosion-resistance standards commonly specified by fiber cement siding product warranties. These nails are suitable for hand nailing or use with compatible pneumatic coil and framing nailers sized for 0.113-inch shank wire nails.

Compatibility

Designed for use with popular fiber cement siding products requiring a double hot-dipped galvanized fastener. Verify fastener gauge, length, and coating requirements against the siding manufacturer's installation specifications before use.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed siding contractors or qualified carpenters following the siding manufacturer's fastening schedule. Shut down any pneumatic supply lines before loading or clearing a nailer. Follow local building code requirements for fastener spacing, edge distance, and penetration depth into the structural framing member. Do not substitute an uncoated or electro-galvanized nail for this double hot-dipped specification, as doing so may void the siding product warranty and lead to corrosion failure.
