Malco FCG2 1-1/4 Inch Overlap 5/16-Inch Thickness Fiber Cement Siding Gauges are used to permit one-person application of fiber cement siding by completely freeing the installer's hands.

To use the plank gauges simply place a pair of gauges on the top edge of the lower plank then place the next plank on the gauges. Nail the plank in place leaving an area of about 18 inches over each gauge unnailed. Remove the gauges by depressing the thumb tab to allow the plank to go flush to the wall/gauge, lift the gauge up, pull out then down. After removing the gauges complete nailing the plank and hang the gauge on the new plank. Gauges are durable, made from one piece tempered spring steel. Precision ground tip assures gauge will grip behind siding. 2 gauges per package.
