Most any compressor will work with a nailing gun, it's constant use tools like grinders that up the requirements. Check the gun and it will specify.

Siding Nail for Fiber Cement

3

36lpi on Feb 12, 2006

I completed the residing of one side of our house back in the fall with fiber cement boad siding. I used a 5D - 1 3/4" ring-shanked stainless steel nail... Since then, everything has been fine, but I've become strangely concerned about this nail choice... Was this a bad choice? If so, what would you recommend I do to assure that this siding stays up? Thanks in advance.
