3/4"into framing or futring.:Review your local building codes for variations that may apply to specific.geograptiic areas
Nails
Nail Beads should.be 5116"minimum in diameter.Shank should be 1/8"in diameter.

Screw fasteners
Screw fasteners car,be used if the screws do.not restrict the normal expansion and.contraction movement-of the.vinyl
siding panel on the wail.Screws must be centered in the slot°with a"minimum WV'space between the screw head and
the vinyl.Screws must be.able to penetrate not less than 3/4"into framing or furring:and should be:

General installation tips
Important installation tips
Before getting started,it is important to review several rules of thumb for vinyl siding application.,
The following rules,which come up throughout this guide,are critical for proper vinyl siding installation:
The following are absolute"must-do's"for every siding installation:
Mill driven do not
1. Installed panels must`move freely from side to side.Don't nai[too tightly too tightly face nail
Always allow a minimum of 1132"space between the back of the head and allowing for
'f expansion
the nailing.hem.Space fasteners 12"-16"apart on center. f
.2, When installing a siding panel,pushup from,the bottom until'the lock issfully
engaged with the piece below it.Without stretching the panel,reach up and
fasten it into place. F` ,r; ��_•.
3. When finishing.the top.of the wall perforate.the:cut edge usingsnap=lock ,,•' f "f%
punch approximately every 8",ensuring the"tabs"face outward.
4. Leave 1/4"clearance at all openings and accessory channel stops. . 1f i Nailing guidelines
This allows for normal expansion and contraction.When installing in
temperatures below409 F,leave 318". M,l imuz
5. DO NOT CAULK the:space between the panels and the J-channel;outside
and inside comers and any other trims.Go.not caulk overlapping joints ..
between siding panels. I
6. NEVER NAIL THROUGH THE FACE OF THE-SIDING!Face nailing is i l i
driving a fastener through the panel outside of the center of a nail slot. -
7. Center fasteners in nail slots.Fastening.at the end of the slot will cause roe. ling
permanent damage to the siding panel.If you need to lengthen the nail
slot,.you can do so with:a nail-slot punch.
8. Drive fasteners in straight.Nailing at an.angle will distort.sid.ing panels and
cause buckling.
9: Be careful not to stretch panels.Apply slight upward pressure until the-.lock
is fully engaged;then secure allowing panels:to move freely without strain. -Position.of fasteners
10.Overlap horizontal siding panels 1 Excessive overlap can restrict free
movement and cause product failure. dive nail straight
and level s�
1.1. Use fasteners long enough.to penetrate a minimunlof 314"into the y
nailable base.
•1'2 ;n resiurq,furring or:removal of uneven original siding maybe necessary. f'
13.In new construction,avoid the use of green lumber as the underlayment.
Keep in mind that siding:can only be as straight and stable as what lies under it.

SheathingBackerboard
Vinyl siding should be applied over a sheathing that provides.a smooth,flat surface.Consult local
building codes:forsheathing requirements.Vinyl siding.shouid never be applied directly to open studs,without sheathing..
As an.alternative,installation of specific types:of contoured foam underlayment for various:st"yles of vinyl siding are available.
Weather Resistant lBarrier
- Vinyl•sidiiiq 9i5uuld ue i isiailed aver a.contiriuou's weather fesisidnt barrier to stop thv intrusion of incidental water.
Consult your local building code for requirements in your area:
Flashing
Code-compliant flashing should be.integrated with the weather resistant.barrier and applied around windows,doors,and other openings.
Flashing should also be.applied to inside and outside corners;and the:intersection.of walls and.roofing to prevent water infiltration.

Preparing to install
Preparing your house
Proper surface preparation is one of the most important parts of your siding installation job.
All exterior wall surfaces must be even,so that your new,vinyl siding will be straight,and
look sharp. v .�
1.Remove all shutters,downspouts and fixtures.On older homes,replace any rotten wood 1
r
and securely nail all loose boards,siding and wood trim.Tie back all shrubbery and
trees when plantings are close to the house.Remove any old caulking around windows F, i
anddco.m.
2.Flashing:Use aluminum trim coil or other material which will not absorb water.Apply I t
flashing'below,on the sides of,and above(in that order)any openings where water
might penetrate.This kvill help in directing water away from the opening. f' '
3.Installing.Furring:Furring or strapping must be-applied to create an even base for
siding.Apply 1"x 3"(minimum size)wood furring,not more than 16"on centers.Shim Furing for horizontal siding
low spots to create an even surface.For horizontal vinyl siding,install furring vertically.
For vertical siding,install furring horizontally.Place furring along all sides of door and
window frames,corners,and top and bottom of areas to be sided.As an alternative,
solid sheathing can be applied directly over the old surface to create a smooth.base,or , 4
over furring to provide even support for the vinyl siding. I
4.Housewrap:If required by building codes,apply a weather-resistant barrier over the I
sheathing.We recommend an approved breather-type code housewrap.
5.Insulation:The ideal time to increase the insulation value of the sidewall is before
instaiiing siding.Simply install insulating sheaiiring over existing siding,over or between
the furring-strips:
6.Laying the groundwork;Determine a starting point for your siding—it should be the
lowest point.Measure at corners,and pull a chalk line across the wall to ensure a level Furing for vertical siding
starting position.Plumb corners,and shim if necessary,.to ensure they are vertical.
Preparing the Walls
'Important notes:Weather Resistant Barrier
Vinyl siding has always been designed as an exterior cladding,not a weather resistant barrier.
Vinyl siding is designed to allow the material underneath it to breathe;therefore,it is not a.watertight covering.Because of
-ito design and application,it provides a supplemental rain s,=cnthat enhances the weather resistant barrier:system by reducing the
amount of water that reaches the underlying weather resistant:barrier.
Preparing the Walls
A flat,level wall surface is necessary for proper installation of vinyl siding.
Install flashing before starting to apply the siding.Unless already installed,a weather resistant barrier should be applied to the house
prior to installing vinyl siding.Always consult local building code for requirements in your area.
New Construction
•Tip:To reduce-the possibility of the floor-plate compression,drywall,roofing,or other heavy building materials should be installed
or stored throughout the house prior to the installation of vinyl siding.Floor-plate compression can result in buckled siding at.the
intersection of the floor,and the wall.
Residing
•Nail down loose boards of existing siding,and replace any rotten ones.Do'not install vinyl siding over rotting wood.
Scrape off loose caulk and re-caulk around windows,doors,and other areas to protect from moisture penetration.
.Remove all protrusions such as gutters.downspouts,and light fixtures.
•Check all walls for evenness and install furring strips where necessary."'hen installing furring strips,please take appropriate
measures to establish a smooth and continuous surface.
-Note:1 In cases where-the lower portion of a horzontal siding panel must b2 trimmed so that it maybe
installed over steps,porches,etc.,the panel should be built.out(`furred')for proper angle and rigidity.
Undersill trim can be used to seal the cut edge of the panel and then secured to the wall.

corner posts,window flashing,trim,and J-channels over the roof lines.

•In order for the siding to be installed properly in a level fashion,the starter strip at the bottom l i
of the wall must be level. t

than the.width of the starter trim and partially drive a nail at one.corner.
.Attach:a chAkline;,go to.•the next corner and pall the.line.taut.• t
•Make sure the line is level by using a line level or a 4'level.
•Snap the chalkline and repeat.the.procedure.around the.entire house.
•Optional method to determining the position of the starter trim in:new construction:and some. Starter trim installation
residing applications:Measure down from the soffit atone corner of.the house-to the;top of •tiro rr Cansr icf
the foundation and subtract 1/4"less than the width of the starter strip.Make a mark on the
wall.and record the measurement.Transfer the measurement to the other corner of the wall. f'
Snap.a chalk line in between the corners at the marks.Repeat the procedure around the r;1j,.. i
entire house. #
•Using the chalkline:as.a 'guide.,install the top edge of the starter strip along'the bottom of the -
