Overview
The Cadex V3/20.32FC is a 20 gauge pneumatic cleat nailer built for flooring installation, driving narrower gauge cleats suited to engineered and thinner profile hardwood. Cadex markets it under its V3 flooring tool line.
A 20 gauge cleat is narrower than the 15.5 or 16 gauge staples common on heavier flooring nailers, which typically means a smaller fastener mark and a better match for engineered or prefinished boards that show more surface damage from wider fasteners. The V3/20.32FC name follows Cadex's own model numbering, and no separate description or spec sheet accompanies this listing, so cleat length range and base plate details are not confirmed here.

Who it's for
Installers working with engineered or thinner profile hardwood who want a narrower gauge cleat than a standard 15.5 or 16 gauge flooring nailer leaves behind. Not the choice for thick solid hardwood jobs that call for a heavier cleat.
Pros and cons
- 20 gauge cleat suits engineered and thinner hardwood
- Part of Cadex's dedicated V3 flooring line
- No cleat length range or PSI requirement listed
- Not sized for thick solid hardwood work
Performance notes
The 20 gauge cleat is the defining spec here, narrower than the 15.5 or 16 gauge fasteners typical flooring nailers use, which matters most on prefinished or engineered boards where a wider fastener can show or split the tongue. No cleat length range, weight or air pressure figures are listed, so match those against the flooring manufacturer's nailing guidance before buying.
