• Finished roof and exterior cladding products_ should be installed per
the manufacturer's .Installation instructions,
Per the recommendation of the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association
and the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, wood siding:should: be primed
before installation.
When original roofing or claddings are removed and replaced on existing ZIP
System sheathing, the roof or wall should be covered with an additional
roofing undedayment 'or water resistive barrier prior to installation .of the
new finished roofing or cladding._
Note: In cladding systems requiring multiple layers of water -resistive barriers,
like traditional hard -coat stucco, ZIP System she Is intended only to
replace the firstlayer.
Wet Blown Cellulose Insulation
In addition to following manufacturer installation instructions, we recommend
a maximum moisture content of the cellulose of less than 25% measured et
the inside surface of the ZIP System panel before closing the wall cavity,
SecondaryCoatings
Do not apply secondary coatings or treatments to ZIP System Roof & Wall
sheathing panels with the exception of=the following:
HEW approved fire resistant: :coatings. Fire resistant coatings must be
tested and approved by HEW for use with ZIP System panels.

Overview: ZIPS Roof &Wall sheathing (s composed of ZIP System, panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP System° Roof &' Wall Sheathing
panels should be fully installed before, the seant sealing tape Is applied: In general; the ZIP System roof sheathing panels should be Installed from the lowest point'
an the roof to the highest. It is at the discretion of the installer whether to apply tape from the top down or from the bottom up., 'However, working from o he:highest'

Step 1.
Ensure that the panel surface Is dryand dean of any nails, sawdust, or
other debris or protrusions prior to installing or walking on the panels.
After. ensuring compliance with all OSHA : and, local code safety
guidlines, install ZIP System sheathing panels with the "moisture
barrier surface facing outside. The long edge (8') should be oriented
perpendicular to the framing members, and panels should be installed
with the 4' edge, seams staggered a minimum of 24'.
1/8' spacing betwean'square edges of all adjacent panels is recommended,
in accordance with industry standards for wood sheathing: (Tongue &
Groove panels are designed.to.self-space and do not require manual
spacing on the 8' edges.)
Step.2
Ensure that ZIP System panels span at least three framing members and
a framing member supports the entire.4' edge: of the panels.
Fasten the ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing panel to the framing
members with code approved, fasteners spaced at the appropriate
edge and intermediate spacing. it is the responsibility of the general
.contractor to verify proper fastener type and spacing prior to installation.
Apply the fasteners 3/8' from the panel ends and 'comers.
An Ideal installation would be where fastener heads are flush with the
panel surface. However, due to'variations in materials and limitations
on equipment, this may be:difficult to achieve in some -situations. It
is not required to tape over overdriven fasteners. unless the fastener
head creates:a hole through the entire panel. thickness. Please see.
the.technical fip,'Overdriven.Fasteners in ZIP System Roof and Wall
Sheathing,' for more information.
Step.3.
Install temporary toe boards as necessary when applying the ZIP System
sheathing panels up the slope of the roof planes.:.

ZIP System"° Tape: Installation - Roof Panel Seams
APPIY ZIP System tape after all ZIP System Hoof & wall sheathing panels, are fully fastened to rooftraming memtiers Only ZIP System tape should be used to
seal the seams of ZIP System panels. Ensure that the panel surfaces are dry and free of any nails; sawdust and other debris, or protrusions. Avoid stepping.: '

Ensure that tape lengths are continuous across the 8' hbrizontat edge
Of the panels. If splices are unavoidable, create an overlapping splice
of at least 3'. Apply moderate pressure onto the surface of the tape,to; "
ensure a secure bond between the panel and the tape.

areas and T joints.
Stop 2
For.valley areas of framing, we recommend you use 6" wide ZIP System
tape: This tape is wider than panel seam tape and is designed to give you
optimal protection In valley areas.
Starting from the bottom and working your way up; apply one continuous
Piece of V tape so that the center of the tape is.over the valley seam. =
Use the tape gun or tape roller tc apply pressure to the tape to ensure
:proper contact with the• panel and to eliminate any wrinkles that might
have occurred in the tape. Take special care to seat tape completely
into the valley.
Note:
It is. Important to pay extra attention to valley taping os'water is
-:directed toward the valleys during rain events..
Self -adhering Ice and water barriers may required by code. ZIP
System tapers riot considered a replacernentfor self -adhering ice,
and water barriers. Therefore; when sett -adhering Ice antl water
barriers are required,, they, should be installed in addition to ZIP
System tape.
Step 3.
- If 6' ZIP System tape is not available, use two continuous pieces.of 3.75'
ZIP System panel seam tape ovar. the entire length of the valley. seam,
overlapping the, pieces on the valley seam by at least 1'.
Starting from the bottom, Install the first piece ..tape overlapping the
valley seam by at least 1°.
Use the tape gun or tape roller: to apply pressure to the.tape to ensure
pioper contact with the panel and to eliminate any wrinkles that might
have occurred in the tape.
Apply the secondplece of tape, overlapping the first piece in the valley
seam; by 1'.
Repeat use of the tape.gun.or roller to make sure the. tape is adequately
adhered and tightly pressed into the valley seam.
Note:
• It is important •to pay extra attention to valley taping as water is
directed toward the valleys during rain events.
Self -adhering Ice and water barriers maybe required by code. ZIP
System tape is:noi considered a replacement for self -adhering ice
and water barriers. Therefore, when self -adhering ice and water
barriers are required,: they. should be installed in additionto ZIP
System tape.
Step:4: .
TO _ provide temporary weather' .protection to roofhvali 'intersections
