ZIP System® Sheathing Installation on
Overview: ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing is composed of ZIP System panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP System® Roof & Wall Sheathing
panels should be fully installed before the seam sealing tape is applied! I 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 traffic on the cape. The following installation steps are presented as guidelines and a general outline of
the installation process. These are manufacturer installation recommendations —please visit zipsystem.com for a library of flashing and installation details. You are
fully and solely responsible for all safety requirements. Good constructidn 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 walking on the panels.
- After ensuring compliance with all OSHA and local code safety
guidelines, install ZIP System sheathing panels with the moisture
barrier surface facing outside. The long edge (8') should be or,ented
perpendicular to the framing members, and panels should be installed
with the 4' edge seams staggered a minimum of 24".
- 1/8" spacing between square edges of all adjacent panels is recomm nded,
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•.
a framing member supports the entire 4' edge of the panels.
- Fasten the ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing panel to the fran
members with code approved fasteners spaced at the appropri
edge and intermediate spacing. It is the responsibility of the gen
contractor to verify proper fastener type and spacing prior to instalial
- Apply the fasteners 318" from the panel ends and comers.

ZIP System'"' 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 coIntact
tape that requires pressure for an adequate seal.
Step 1.
- Apply ZIP System tape to every vertical and horizontal panel sea[n. 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 B' 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 th tape
and smooth out any wrinkles.

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 gi you
optimal protection in valley areas.
i
- 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 slam.
- 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 wati r 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 6" 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 pressure to the tape to ensure
proper contact with the panel and to eliminate any wrinkles than might
have occurred in the tape. i
- 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 tce
and water barriers. Therefore, when self -adhering ice and grater
barriers are required, they should be installed in addition to ZIP
System tape.
Step 4.
- To provide temporary weather protection to roof/wall intersec

5. Cut a length of ZIP System tape or another
adhesive -backed flashing tape (must meet ICC-
ES Acceptance Criteria for Flashing Materials
(AC148)) and apply to the header, ensuring that
the flashing overlaps the jamb flashings.•
Once the tape is in place, use the tape gun or roller
to seal the flashing to the sheathing.
'DO NOT tape bottom flange.
6. From the interior, apply Idw-pressure polyurethane
foam (for windows) between the rough opening
.r
and the window frame. (Caulk sealant compatible
with the sill flashing may be used at the sill if the
k
opening between the sill flashing and window
is too narrow to allow the use of low-pressure?
polyurethane foam.)

When using ZIP System tape, butyl, 100%
f
silicone or polyurethane sealants are acceptable.
Do not use latex sealants with ZIP System tape. If
using another flashing tape, follow the flashing
manufacturer's recommendation in selecting a
sealant compatible with that flashing.
Brick Mould Windows
1. Fasten the ZIP System sheathing
to the wood frame and install
ZIP System tape to all wall panel
seams, as detailed in sections
02 and 03.

2. If recommended by the window
manufacturer, cut a strip of wood 4°
to function as a back dam at the
sill. The wood strip should have s j
a length equal to the width of the
rough opening and a height and
width of at least 1/2". Position the
block at the inside edge of the
window frame.

3. ZIP System tape may be used as pan flashing if
installed in accordance with brick mould window
installation details posted on zipsystem.com.
Other adhesive -based flashing tapes (must meet
ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria for Flashing Materials
(AC148)) may be used as pan flashing if installed
per ASTM 2112-07. Apply the flashing to cover
the bottom of the opening, overhanging onto the
sheathing by at least 2" and extending a minimum
of 6" up each jamb.
4. For vertical jambs, cut ZIP System tape or another
adhesive -backed flashing tape (must meet ICC-
ES Acceptance Criteria for Flashing Materials
(AC148)) and apply to each of the window jambs.
Ensure that they cover the entire inside of the rough
opening as well as overlap onto the sheathing by
at least 2". Flashing shall also extend above the
rough opening, such that it will project 1" beyond
the exterior trim of the window.
Once the tape is in place, use the tape gun or roller
to seal the flashing to the sheathing.
5. Apply sealant to jambs and header allowing for
drainage at the sill in accordance with window
manufacturer's installation instructions. When
using ZIP System tape, use a butyl, polyurethane
or 100% silicone sealant. Do not use latex or
other water -based sealants with ZIP System
tape. When using another flashing tape, follow the
flashing manufac-turer's recommendations in
selecting a sealant compatible with that flashing.
6. Install and level window per manufacturer's
installation instructions.

following steps represent a general overview for the proper installation of window flashing. Please defer to/consult
fictions of your window manufacturer as well as code requirements in your jurisdiction for full installation details.
7. Cut a piece of rigid head flashing so that when
installed, it is flush with the edges of the exterior
moulding of the window. Apply a bead of sealant
to the back and bottom surface of the rigid
head flashing. Use sealant recommended by the
flashing manufacturer.
a. Secure the rigid head flashing to ZIP System
wall sheathing.
9. Cut a length of ZIP System tape or another
adhesive -backed flashing tape (must meet ICC-ES
Acceptance Criteria for Flashing Materials (AC148))
and apply to the rigid head flashing, ensuring
that the adhesive -backed flashing overiaps the
jamb flashings.
Once the tape is in place, use the tape gun or roller
to seal the flashing to the sheathing.
10. From the interior, apply low-pressure polyurethane
foam (for windows) between the rough opening and
.
the window frame. (Caulk sealant compatible with
the sill flashing may be used at the sill if the opening
between the sill flashing and window is too narrow
to allow the use of low-pressure polyurethane foam.)
When using ZIP System tape, butyl, 100% silicone
or polyurethane sealants are acceptable. Do not
use latex or other water -based sealants with ZIP
System tape. If using'another flashing tape, follow
the flashing manufacturer's recommendation in
selecting a sealant compatible with that flashing.
