supplied by the valve. This should be opened to allow a flow
rate bf 1 to 1.6 gpm•(4 to & Llmin). •
• A thermoineter•must be used at the nearest outlet to the
valve to ensure.the correct mixed water temperature is

CHECKING / SERVICING THE VALVE.
• Wd recommend that the valve is checked atleast once per
year to ensure its continued function. For instaliationswith
poor• or unknown water quality, or other •adverse supply
conditions • it May be necessary to check the vAtve at more
frequent Intervals.
• ThW temperature should be checked at the same outlet as
was used for commissioning -in the first instance. If the
temperature is more than 31F from the commissioning
temperature, referto faultfinding gt►lde on the next page.
• There may be some variation in the temperature of the water
from the thermostatic mixing valve due to seasonal
temperature variations In the cold water supply.
• if••the water supply is of poor quality, a filter or strainer
sllduidbe fitted to the system.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ALL NICHIPRODUCTS
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
These instructions are only intended.for site
construction applications. For applications on
modular, panelized, or manufactured housing,
please contact Nichiha directly.
NichiProducts must be installed on flat, vertical
wall applications only. Do not install on sloped
or tilted walls, or Mansard type roofs.
NichiProductsTM can be installed directly on
braced wood or steel stud* (20GA or heavier)
construction spaced at a maximum of 24" o.c
or over sheathing with solid wood or steel
backing. Correct any misaligned framing
as irregularities in the framing or exterior
sheathing may mirror through the finished
application.
When installing NichiProductsTM, it is
recommended that an APA rated 7/16"
OSB or plywood sheathing be used.
NichiProductsTM may be installed over non-
structural sheathing such as foam, fiber
builder board, and gypsum type panels. Non-
structural sheathing thickness shall not exceed
1 ". Due to the compressive nature of some
non-structural sheathing, care must be taken
not to overdrive the fastener and compress
the sheathing which may result in distortion
or waviness. The fastener length must be
increased in accordance with the thickness of
the non-structural sheathing.
Shake and lap siding products must be
installed horizontally. Do not install in an
angled, sloped, or other non -horizontal
(chevron, sunburst, diamond) fashion.
A weather resistive barrier is required in
accordance with local building codes when
installing NichiProductsTm. Use the approved
weather resistive barrier (WRB) as defined by
the 2015 IRC. The weather resistive barrier
must be installed in accordance with the
manufacturer's specifications and local codes
if applicable. Nichiha is not liable for water
infiltration.
Please consult with your local dealer or
Nichiha directly when using NichiProductsTM
on large projects, such as buildings greater
than three (3) stories or taller than 45 feet.
PRODUCT INSPECTION
Inspect all products thoroughly prior to
installation. Do not install any product which
may have been damaged in shipment or
displays damage to the primer or finish coat.
Contact your local dealer or Nichiha Customer
Service Representative toll -free at 1-866-
424-4421 immediately should you have any
questions about N.ichiProductsTM.

0100 or P100 whenever cutting, drilling,
sawing, sanding or abrading the products.
Refer to the Safety Instructions in this guide
for more details.
FASTENING
Proper fasteners and fastening play a
critical role in the long term performance of
NichiProducts. Care should be taken to avoid
product damage resulting from incorrect
".U. installation methods such as over -driven
ro fasteners, improper air compressor settings,
the use of framing nailers, finish nails, etc.
< Such actions may cause visible cracking,
particularly at product edges that could
affect key performance aspects of the siding.
Where necessary, the products may be pre -
drilled and hand fastened as an alternative to
pneumatic fastening.
Use a dust -reducing or dust -collecting circular
saw with a vacuum attachment in combination
with a diamond -tipped blade designed for
cutting fiber cement products.
The dust collector must be connected to a
HEPA vacuum.
Electric and pneumatic shears may be used
for cutting 5/16" thick products. Models are
available that can make straight or radius
cuts. Shears cannot be used for cutting
NichiFrontier or NichiTrimTM
A jig saw fitted with a carbide tipped blade
may be used for cutting service opening
holes, irregular shapes, radii, and scrollwork.
When using a circular saw, shears, or jigsaw,
cut NichiProductsTM face down. Also ensure
the board is fully supported along its length.
Additionally, on factory prefinished products,
take steps to protect the board finish from
damage.
When using pneumatic tools, ensure the gun
has an adjustable depth of drive or flush
mount attachment to control nail seating
depth. The fastener head must be flush to
the board surface. Do not over drive or under
drive fasteners. Caulk or seal any fasteners
that are countersunk more than 1/16" and
add an additional, properly seated fastener.
DO NOT use framing nailers as board damage
may result.
Pressure from compressors can vary
depending on tank volume and the number
of lines connected to the unit. For best
performance, always test and adjust pressure
before beginning installation.
Corrosion resistant fasteners, such as hot -
dipped galvanized nails and screws
appropriate to local building codes and
practices must be used. Stainless steel
fasteners are highly recommended in high -
humidity and high -moisture regions. Nichiha is
not liable for corrosion resistance of fasteners.
Do not use aluminum fasteners, staples,
finish nails, clipped head or T head nails,
or fasteners not rated or designed for
intended use. (continued)

NICHIHA INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR NICHIPRODUCTS & NICHIFRONTIER
JACOB SEN HOMES
Corrosion resistant, full round head siding
nails or appropriate screws may be used to
install NichiProductsTM to wood and steel
framing members. Fasteners must penetrate
into wood a minimum of 1 ", or 1/z" into a
minimum 20-gauge steel stud.
FINISHING & MAINTENANCE
Use an exterior grade high -quality sealant that
complies with either ASTM C-834 (for primed
products) or ASTM C-920 (for prefinished
products) requirements for all gaps that
require filling with sealant. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for use.
All exposed field cut edges (i.e. outside
edges, field cut door and window cut outs,
field cut butt joints, bottom ends of corner
and window trim), must be sealed with a
primer, paint, or caulk.
Dents, chips, scratches, etc. on the products
should be filled with exterior grade
cementitious patching or putty. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for use.
All unfinished (pre -primed) products must
be painted within 12 months of installation
High quality, exterior grade, 100% acrylic
latex paints are recommended. Do not
apply paint when siding is wet. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for use.
DO NOT use stains, or oil or alkyd based
paints on NichiProducts.
Nichiha does not warrant or accept liability for
the appearance or performance of third party
or field applied caulks, sealants, or finishes.
Periodic maintenance of the exterior of any
structure is considered normal. As a guide,
it is recommended that normal maintenance
shall include:
• Washing down the exterior surfaces
periodically with a low pressure spray or
garden hose to remove dirt and debris.
DO NOT use high pressure power washers
as they may damage the siding
• Reapplication of exterior finishes
• Please refer to your paint manufacturer for
recoating requirements and schedules
Maintaining caulks and sealants
• Ensure that gutters are clear and
unclogged to prevent overflows
• Ensure that the minimum ground clearance
is maintained by preventing build up of
decorative mulch, stone, etc.
• Maintain a clearance between the siding
and any vegetation, shrubs, etc.

For the second course, place the panel edge
16" back from the centerline. Subsequently,
for the third course place the panel edge back
32" from the centerline.
Using either a framing square or a pattern
made from the rake angle, mark and cut the
panels to evenly fit the rake or soffit, leaving a
1/8" gap for caulking.
On these angle cuts, due to the keyways
in the shingle panel, the panel may be
weakened and require special care in
handling. Also, it may be necessary to secure
the panel with face nails in these areas. If the
cut completely separates a piece of the siding

of this guide.
NichiPanel can be installed directly on
braced wood or steel stud (20GA or heavier)
construction spaced at a maximum of 24" o.c.
or over sheathing with solid wood or steel
backing. Correct any misaligned framing
as irregularities in the framing or exterior
sheathing may mirror through the finished
application. (Fig.21.1)
NichiPanel may be installed on flat, vertical
wall applications only. Do not install on sloped
or tilted walls, or Mansard type roofs.
Ensure all weather resistive barriers are in
place in accordance with local code.
When installing NichiPanel, it is recommended
that an APA rated 7/16" OSB or plywood
sheathing be used. Panels may be installed
over non-structural sheathing such as foam,
fiber builder board, and gypsum type panels.
Non-structural sheathing thickness shall not
exceed 1 ". Due to the compressive nature..
of some non-structural sheathing, care must
be taken not to overdrive the fastener and
compress the sheathing which may result in
distortion or waviness. The fastener length
must be increased in accordance with the
thickness of the non-structural sheathing.

JACOBSEN HOMES
On multi -story structures, avoid spanning
over 1 st-2nd , or 2nd — 3rd , (etc.) story floor
systems as distortion of the panels from
settling of the structure can occur. The panel
horizontal joint should always occur at the
wall framing top plate or floor system rim
joist.
NichiPanels must be installed with the long
dimension of the panel vertical and parallel to
wall framing.
All panel edges must be supported by
framing.

gable ends, align accent grooves vertically for
best appearance.
When beginning the installation, trim the
full thickness or "square" panel edge so the
detailed grooved edge will land or break over

When trim attachments are to be applied over
NichiPanel, special steps must be taken prior
to the panel application.
• After installation of the door or window,
install a 5/16" thick shim over the door
or window the same length and width
dimensions as the horizontal trim piece.
Install the flashing on top of the shim
taking into consideration the thickness of
the trim. The flashing must extend slightly
past the edge of the trim.
• Next, install the panel above the shim

STARTER STRIP & FIRST COURSE
A starter strip is required to set the first
course on the proper angle and to create the
drip edge at the bottom course of siding.
The starter strip material may be a cut piece
of Frontier, NichiBoard, PVC, or pressure
treated lumber. Do not use untreated lumber,
plywood, OSB or other engineered wood
products as a starter strip. (Fig. 26.1)
Install the starter strip level with the bottom
of the wall sheathing or mudsill.
Ensure the first course of boards is level as it
will be the guide for the entire installation.
Use a level and chalk line to establish a level
and straight reference point for the first
course. Continue to check for level lines
throughout installation.
The first course of siding must hang below the
starter strip a minimum of 1/4".
The siding should not extend below the
corner trim.The bottom edge of the first course
must have at least 6" clearance above finished

NichiTrim is not intended for usage as a
siding product.
Ensure all weather resistive barriers are in
place in accordance with local code.
When installing NichiTrim, it is recommended
that an APA rated 7/16" OSB or plywood
sheathing be used. NichiTrim may be
installed over non-structural sheathing such as
foam, fiber builder board, and gypsum type
panels. Non-structural sheathing thickness
shall not exceed 1 ". Due to the compressive
nature of some non-structural sheathing, care
must be taken not to overdrive the fastener
and compress the sheathing which may result
in distortion or waviness. The fastener length
must be increased in accordance with the
thickness of the non-structural sheathing.

FASTENING
Follow all fastening instructions in the General
section of this guide.
Finish nails (minimum 15 gauge), smooth shank
siding nails, or appropriate screws may be
used to secure NichiTrim to wood and steel
framing members. Fasteners must penetrate
into wood a minimum of 1 " and 1/2" into steel
framing to ensure trim is securely fastened.
Pneumatic fastening is recommended.
When using pneumatic tools, ensure the gun
has an adjustable depth of drive or flush
mount attachment to control nail seating
depth. The fastener head must be flush to
the board surface. Do not over drive or under
drive fasteners.
DO NOT use framing nailers as board
damage may result.

(FIG. 34.2)
Windows must be installed per manufacturers'
instructions with all required flashings.
Prior to siding installation, install a flashing at
the bottom of the J channel which will direct
water over the siding course and deter water
entry behind the siding. This may require
sealing with a quality seam tape. The flashing
must be 3"-4" in width and of sufficient
height to extend behind the J channel and
overlap the siding course below.
At the bottom of the window, lap the flashing
over the board a minimum of 1 " similar to the
installation of a joint flashing.
Seal all field cut ends with a quality exterior
grade primer, paint, or sealer.
Do not install siding tight against inside of

Section 4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation
Acute effects — Dust may cause irritation of the nose, throat and
airways, resulting in coughing and sneezing. Certain susceptible
individuals may experience wheezing (spasms of the bronchial
airways) upon inhaling dust during cutting, rebating, drilling, routing,
sawing, crushing or otherwise abrading fiber cement, and when
cleaning up, disposing of or moving the dust.
Chronic effects — Repeated or prolonged over exposures to
crystalline silica can cause silicosis (scarring of the lung) and
increases the risk of bronchitis, tuberculosis, lung cancer, renal
disease, and scleroderma (a disease affecting the connective tissue
of the skin, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs.) Some studies
suggest that cigarette smoking increases the risk of silicosis,

bronchitis and lung cancer in persons also exposed to crystalline
silica.
Acute silicosis — A sub -chronic disease associated with acute,
massive silica exposure, is a rapidly progressive, incurable lung
disease that is typically fatal. Symptoms include but are not limited
to, shortness of breath, cough, fever, weight loss and chest pain.
Such exposure may cause pneumoconiosis and pulmonary fibrosis.
Required treatment — If inhalation of dust occurs, remove to fresh
air. If shortness of breath or wheezing develops, seek medical
attention.
Skin
Dust may cause irritation of the skin from friction but cannot be
absorbed through intact skin.
If skin contact occurs, wash with mild soap and water. Contact
physician if irritation persists or later develops.
Eyes
Dust may irritate the eyes from mechanical abrasion causing ,..
watering or redness.
If eye contact occurs, remove contact lenses (if applicable). Flush
with running water or saline for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical
attention if redness persists or if visual changes occur.
Ingestion
Ingestion is unlikely under normal conditions of use, but swallowing
the dust from the product may result in irritation or damage to the
mouth and gastrointestinal tract due to alkalinity of dust.
If ingestion occurs, dilute by drinking large amounts of water. Do

James Hardie® recommended best practices for handling fiber -
cement:
Keep exposure to dust as low as reasonably possible. Respirable
crystalline silica limits are specified by OSHA and MSHA and
identified in Section 8 of this MSDS. Exposure to respirable (fine)
silica dust depends on a variety of factors, including activity rate
(e.g. cutting rate), method of handling (e.g. electric shears),
environmental conditions (e.g. weather conditions, workstation
orientation) and control measures used.
Wherever possible, practices likely to generate dust should be

or smoking materials. spilling and creating
Maintain appropriate dust controls during handling. Use appropriate
respiratory rotection during handling as described in Section 8.
Incompatibilities:
Hydrofluoric acid will dissolve silica and can generate silicon
tetrafluoride, a corrosive gas. Contact with strong oxidizing agents
such as fluorine, boron trifluoride, chlorine trifluoride, manganese
trifluoride or oxygen difluoride may cause fires and /or explosions.
Furthermore, limestone is incompatible with acids and ammonium
salts.
Section 8. Exposure Controls/ Personal Protection
OSHA Permissible Exposure Standards (PEL): Exposures shall not exceed an 8-hour time weighted
average (TWA) limit as stated in 29 CFR 1910.1000 Table Z-3 for mineral dusts, expressed in million
particles per cubic feet (Mppcf) and/or milligrams per cubic meter (mg/1`1`13). The American Conference of

Recommended Exposure Limit (REL) of 0.05 mg/m3 for respirable crystalline silica, based on a 10-hour
time -weighted average..
Engineering Controls
Personal protection when handling products that may generate silica dust: (1) follow James
Hardie ® instructions and best practices to reduce or limit the release of dust; (2) warn others in
the area to avoid the dust; (3) when using mechanical saw or high-speed cutting tools, work
outdoors and use dust collection equipment, and (4) if no other dust controls are available, wear
a NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator (e.g. N95 dust mask).
During clean-up, use a well -maintained vacuum and filter appropriate for capturing fine
(respirable) dust or use wet cleanup methods ---:.never dry sweep.
Cutting Outdoors
1. Position cutting station so that wind will blow dust away
from user or others in working area and allow for ample
dust dissipation
2. Use one of the following methods based on the required
cutting rate and job -site conditions:
BEST
• Score and snap using carbide -tipped scoring knife
or utility knife
• Fiber -cement shears (electric or pneumatic)

And Safety Standards
GOOD (for low to moderate cutting only)
• Dust reducing circular saw with Hardieblade TM
saw blade
Cutting Indoors
• Cut only using score and snap method or with

pneumatic)
• Position cutting station in well -ventilated area to
allow for dust dissipation
Sanding / Rebating / Drilling /
If sanding, rebating, drilling or other machining is necessary, you
Other Machining
should always wear a NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator
(e.g. N-95) and warn others in the immediate area.
Clean -Up
During clean-up of dust and debris, NEVER dry sweep as it may
excite silica dust particles into the user's breathing area. Instead,
wet debris down with a fine mist to suppress dust during sweeping,
or use a HEPA vacuum to collect particles.
Important Notes
1. For maximum protection (lowest respirable dust
production), James Hardie ® recommends always using
"Best" -level cutting methods where feasible
2. NEVER use a power saw indoors

Personal Protective Equipment
• Respiratory— If respirators are selected, use and maintain in accordance with ANSI
Standard (Z88.2) for particulate respirators. Select respirators based on the level of
exposure to crystalline silica as measured by dust sampling. Use respirators that offer
protection to the highest concentrations of crystalline silica if the actual concentrations
are unknown. Put in place a respiratory protection and monitoring program that
complies with MSHA or OSHA (e.g. 29CFR1910.134) standards, which include provisions
for a user training program, respirator repair and cleaning, respirator fit -testing and
other requirements. Comply with all other applicable federal and state laws.
• Eye — When cutting material, dust resistant safety goggles / glasses should be worn and
used in compliance with ANSI Standard Z87.1 and applicable OSHA (e.g. 29CFR1910.133)
standards.
• Skin — Loose comfortable clothing should be worn. Direct skin contact with dust and
debris should be avoided by wearing long sleeved shirts and long trousers, a cap or hat,
and gloves. Work clothes should be washed regularly.

Section 10. 'Stability and Reactivity
Stability,
Crystalline silica and limestone are stable under ordinary conditions
Conditions to Avoid:
Excessive dust generation during storage and handling
Materials to Avoid:
Hydrofluoric acid will dissolve silica and can generate silicon tetrafluoride,
a corrosive gas. Contact with strong oxidizing agents such as fluorine,
boron trifluoride, chlorine trifluoride, manganese trifluoride or oxygen
difluoride may cause fires and /or explosions. Furthermore, limestone is
incompatible with acids and ammonium salts.
Section 11. Toxicological lnfortnation .
Routes of exposure:
Fiber -cement is not toxic in its intact form. The following applies to dust
that may be generated during cutting, rebating, drilling, routing, sawing,
crushing or otherwise abrading fiber cement.

Related symptoms: Repeated and prolonged overexposures to dust containing crystalline silica
can cause silicosis (scarring of the lung),and increases the risk of
bronchitis, tuberculosis, lung cancer, renal disease and scleroderma (a
disease affecting the connective tissue of the skin, joints, blood vessels and
internal organs). Some studies suggest that cigarette smoking increases the
risk of silicosis, bronchitis, and lung cancer in persons also exposed to
crystalline silica. Acute silicosis is a rapidly progressive, incurable lung
disease that is typically fatal. Symptoms include, but are not limited to:
shortness of breath, cough, fever, weight loss and chest pain. Such
exposure may cause pneumoconiosis and pulmonary fibrosis.
The following relates to health effects of cellulose: Based on limited animal
research, it is possible that repeated chronic inhalation exposure to
cellulose fiber dust over time may lead to inflammation and scarring of the
lung in humans. Precautions taken for crystalline silica dust will protect
against cellulose.

Medical conditions generally aggravated by exposure — Pulmonary function
may be reduced by inhalation of respirable crystalline silica and / or

cellulose. If lung scarring occurs, such scarring could aggravate other lung
conditions such as asthma, emphysema, pneumonia or restrictive lung

WARNING: AVOID BREATHING SILICA DUST
James Hardie° products contain respirable crystalline silica, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and is considered by [ARC and NIOSH to be a cause of cancer from some occupational
sources. Breathing excessive amounts of respirable silica dust can also cause a disabling and potentially fatal lung disease called silicosis, and has been linked with other diseases, Some studies suggest
smoking may increase these risks. During Installation or handling: (1) work in outdoor areas with ample ventilation; (2) use fiber cement shears for cutting or, where not feasible, use a HardieBlade saw blade
and dust -reducing circular saw attached to a HEPA vacuum; (3) warn others in the immediate area; (4) wear a properly -fitted, NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator (e.g. N-95) In accordance with applicable
government regulations and manufacturer Instructions to further limit respirable silica exposures. During clean-up, use HEPA vacuums or wet cleanup methods -never dry sweep. For further Information, refer
