GENERAL FASTENING REQUIREMENTS
Refer to the applicable ESR report online to determine which fastener meets your wind load
design criteria.
Fasteners must be corrosion resistant, galvanized, or stainless steel. Electro-galvanized are
acceptable but may exhibit premature corrosion. James Hardie recommends the use of
quality, hot-dipped galvanized nails. James Hardie is not responsible for the corrosion
resistance of fasteners. Stainless steel fasteners are recommended when installing James
Hardie
®
products near the ocean, large bodies of water, or in very humid climates.
Manufacturers of ACQ and CA preservative-treated wood recommend spacer materials or
other physical barriers to prevent direct contact of ACQ or CA preservative-treated wood and
aluminum products. Fasteners used to attach HardieTrim Tabs to preservative-treated wood
shall be of hot dipped zinc-coated galvanized steel or stainless steel and in accordance to
2009 IRC R317.3 or 2009 IBC 2304.9.5
• Consult applicable product evaluation or listing for correct fasteners type and placement to
achieve specified design wind loads.
• NOTE: Published wind loads may not be applicable to all areas where Local Building Codes
have specific jurisdiction. Consult James Hardie Technical Services if you are unsure of
applicable compliance documentation.
• Drive fasteners perpendicular to siding and framing.
• Fastener heads should fit snug against siding (no air space).
• NOTE: Whenever a structural member is present, HardiePanel
®
should be fastened with
even spacing to the structural member. The tables allowing direct to OSB or plywood
should only be used when traditional framing is not available.
