ZIP System" Roof & Wall Sheathing Installation Manual
ZIP System® Sheathing Installation on Roofs
Overview; ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing is composed of. ZIP System panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP SysteW Roof & Wall. Sheathing
panels should be fullyinstalled before the seam sealing tape is applied. In general, the ZIP System roof sheathing panels should be installed from the lowest point
' on 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 the highest
sections of the roof and working down will minimize foot.trafflaon the tape. The following installation steps are presented as guidelines and a general outline a
the installation process. These are manufacturer installation recommendations —please visit iipsystem.com for a library of flashing.and installation details. You are
fully and solely responsible for all safety requirements. Good construction and safety practices should be followed at all times.
step 1.
Ensure that the panel surface is dry and clean of any nails, sawdust, or
other debris or protrusions prior to installing or walling on the panels.
After ensuring compliance with ail OSHA and local code safety
guidelines, 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'.
118° spacing between squareedges of all adiacent 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 Y.
Ensure that ZIP System panels span at least three framing members and
a framing member supports the entire V 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
contractorto 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 tip, "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 SystemTM Tape Installation - Roof Panel Seams
Apply ZIP System tape after all ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing panels are fully fastened to roof -framing members. 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
on tape in high temperature environments. ZIP System tape is a contact tape that requires pressure for an adequate seal.
Step 1.
Apply ZIP System tape to every vertical and horizontal panel seam. it is
at the discretion of the installer whether to apply tape from the top down
or from the bottom up. However, working from the highest sections of
the roof and working down will minimize foot traffic on the tape.
Ensure that the tape is centered over the seam within +/-1/2" to provide
adequate coverage and to ensure that wrinkles in the tape are minimized.
Ensure that tape lengths are continuous across the 8 horizontal 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.
Use ZIP System tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape
and smooth out any wrinkles.
Take special care to remove any voids and/or trapped air at splice
areas and 7-joints. SecondFirsl7ape Piece 3" overlap
Tape Pi
Step 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 6" tape.so that the center of the tape is over the valley. seam.
Use the. tape gun or tape.roller.to- 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 as water Is
directed toward the valleys during rain events.
Self -adhering Ice and water barriers may be required by code. ZIP
System tape is not 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 addition to ZIP
System tape.

ZIP System'" Tape Installation - Roof Panel Seams (continued)
Step 3.
- If G" ZIP System tape is not available, use two continuous pieces of 3.75"
ZIP System panel seam tape over 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 of tape overlapping the
valley seam by at least 1 ".
- Use: the tape gun or tape,roller to apply pressureto the tape to ensure
proper contact with the panel and to eliminate any wrinkles that might
have occurred in the tape.
- Apply the second piece 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 .may be required by code. ZIP
System tape Is not 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 addition to ZIP
System tape.
Step 4.
To provide temporary weather protection to roof/wall intersections
of dormers or other wood -sheathed projections, apply 2" of the tape
width up the vertical projection from where it intersects with the roof.
The'rernaihing tape width can be adhered to the ZIP System roof
sheathing panels.
Use the tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape and smooth
out any wrinkles.
Step 5.
Install ZIP System tape over hips and ridges by centering the tape over
the peak seam. Apply tape in sufficient length to completely extend the
length of the hip or ridge.
Starting from the lowest. point of the hip and working up, press tape into
place keeping tape centered over the hip. Apply moderate pressure
onto the surface of the tape to ensure a secure bond between the panel
and the tape.
Cut ridge tape. as required for ventilation prior to installing ridge vent.
