Installing sillcock aluminum siding.
I m adding a sillcock onto the front of my house to take care of the landscaping.
Nail in the center of the slot.
Attach the siding to the wall with a nail in each section of the nail strip.
You can now place the sillcock in the hole and get a better idea how it will sit.
When installing the trim at the windows start at the bottom then move to the sides and install the top portion last.
For vinyl siding use aluminum galvanized steel or other corrosion resistant nails.
Space nails a maximum of 16 inches for horizontal siding 12 inches for vertical and 6 to 12 inches for accessories.
This will help control water flow and prevent leakage.
Each sheet of siding has a nail strip at the top.
I have one on the back that was already on the house and there is a square plastic mount that the sillcock is attached to and the vinyl siding is cut to fit around it so that it looks decent and doesn t smash the siding.
