Questions & Answers
I will be installing 5? wide 3/8? engineered birch flooring over 3/4? OSB subfloor .. looking at the 20 gauge nailer .. should I get the 1? cleats or the 1 1/4? cleats ?
First oa all, I really like the Nailer you are considering. I replaced all my flooring with 1/2" hardwood and the nailer worked perfectally. The hardwood supplier should tell you which size cleet you should use. I would go with their suggestion.
Im going put down three-quarter by half inch by 3 3 1/2 inches oak flooring Will this gun work for me
no. you need a standard nailer. This will only go up to nailing 1/2 inch woods
can I use 18 gauge products with this gun? I am installing brazillian cherry wood..
Hey there, Stan. Thanks for the question! The Model 2000F only drives 20-gauge, L-shaped cleat nails in lengths from 1" to 1-1/4". If you need to use 18-gauge, L-shaped cleat nails and want a trigger-pull tool check out the Powernail Model 50F. It is the same style tool as the 2000F, but it drives 18-gauge L-cleats and accepts 1-1/4", 1-1/2" and 1-3/4" lengths.
I don't think so. It's a special nail and I used it on 9/16 cherry wood flooring. Installed last year. All is good.
it depends on thickness of wood. not of kind . with this nailer u can do up to 1/2 inch
Can this be used with click lock flooring built to be installed floating?
no, u dont want to nail or glue any floating floor. it will damage floor
This nailer can definitely be used to install click-lock flooring and Uniclic flooring. The tool's one-piece, Flex Foot allows you to fasten the "groove" side of a click-lock profile. Powernail's F-Series tools (2000F, 1845F and 50F) rest on the top of your floor board and not the subfloor when in use. This allows the user to place a fastener flush on the groove side of the floor board and does not interfere when the next board is being 'clicked' into place.
Trying to decide between this and Powernail's 18 gauge nailer. I have 1/2" thick, 8" wide, 10' long (random lengths) engineered white oak flooring. My main concern/question is whether or not I would have performance issues (floors not fastened as securely as with 18 gauge). Any suggestions?
This tool is great for very thin and very brittle species of wood flooring. For a 1/2" white oak, we strongly suggest using an 18-gauge cleat nail (1.5" in length) and an 18-gauge nailer. White oak is definitely a hard species of wood, but our 18-gauge cleat is perfect for that hardness and you won't risk splitting tongues. The 18-gauge fastener will also give you additional length to penetrate through the bottom layer of your sub-floor for a tighter hold. At 8" wide, you will definitely want to use a glue-assist type installation that includes both fasteners as well as a bead of adhesive on the back of the floor boards. This will help reduce your risk of cupping, crowning or shifting boards. Always refer to the flooring manufacturer's installation specifications before proceeding with your install. They may suggest an alternate method that ensures your floor's warranty and supersedes our recommendations.
why it's not flush? I just received the 2000F and am trying on 5/16" hardwood floor with 1 1/4" cleat. It doesn't seem very flush. The top of cleat is always a little above wood. I can feel it with fingers. I tried from 70psi to even 120psi but no effect. Is there anything I need to adjust in terms of depth? (I know I need to adjust the footer to adapter to wood thickness. I already did that.)
The nail gun “foot” is adjustable to fit deferent size floor blanks.
Use the 1" cleat for that size. I bet that will fix your problem.
Ordered 5/8" engineered bamboo with plywood core and was advised to use a 20-gauge nailer, but having difficulty finding one to accommodate the 5/8". This Powernail appears to be just under the required 5/8". Any other brand suggestions?
Hello there Tom, Our Powernailer model 50P is an excellent tool for installing Bamboo Flooring. It drives an 18 gauge cleat in lengths from 1" to 1-3/4". I suggest calling the manufacturer of your bamboo and asking if their warranty will allow for an 18-gauge cleat. If so, you cannot do any better than our model 50P.
Are your HD PowerCleats the only nails that works with your Powernail?
This machine only drives a 20 gauge L-Cleat and Powernail 20ga HD Powercleats are currently the only 20ga cleats on the market.
