Sheathing Installation on Roofs
Overview:
panels shOL
ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing is composed of ZIP System panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP System® Roof & Wall Sheathing
�d be fully installed 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
o 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 installati
he roof and working down will minimize foot traffic on the tape. The following installation steps are presented as guidelines and a general outline of
In process. These are manufacturer installation recommendations— please visit zipsystem.com for a library of flashing and installation details. You are
fully and sol,
lly responsible for all safety requirements. Good construction and safety practices should be followed at all times.
Step 1.
- Ensur that the panel surface is dry and clean of any nails, sawdust, or
other ebris or protrusions prior to installing or walking on the panels.
- After nsuring compliance with all OSHA and local code safety
guidelines, install ZIP System sheathing panels with the moisture
barriers surface facing outside. The long edge (8') should be oriented
perpe dicular 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 recommended,
in al rdance with industry standards for wood sheathing. (Tongue &

Step 2.
- Ensur
;that ZIP System panels span at least three framing members and
a framing
member supports the entire 4' edge of the panels.
- Fasten
memb
the ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing panel to the framing
Irs 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 t
ie fasteners 3/8" from the panel ends and corners.
- An ide
I installation would be where fastener heads are flush with the
panel
urface. - However, due to variations in materials and limitations
on equipment,
this may be difficult to achieve in some situations. It
is not
equired to tape over overdriven fasteners unless the fastener
head creates
a hole through the entire panel thickness. Please see

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 se Ims 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 EIP System tape to every vertical and horizontal panel seam. It is
at thediscretion 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.
Ensur that tape lengths are continuous across the 8' horizontal edge
of the anels. If splices are unavoidable, create an overlapping splice
of at I ast 3". Apply moderate pressure onto the surface of the tape to
ensur la secure bond between the panel and the tape.
Use Z P System tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape
and sr iIooth out any wrinkles.
Take pecial care to remove any voids and/or trapped air at splice
areas 4nd T-joints.
Step 2.
For valley areas of framing, we recommend you use 6" wide ZIP System
tape. T iis tape is wider than panel seam tape and is designed to give you
optima protection in valley areas.
Startin from the bottom and working your way up, apply one continuous
piece f 6" tape so that the center of the tape is over the valley seam.
Use th P� 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 in portant to pay extra attention to valley taping as water is
direct (6 toward the valleys during rain events.
- Self -adhering ice and water barriers may be required by code. ZIP
Syster i tape is not considered a replacement for self -adhering ice
and w inter barriers. Therefore, when self -adhering ice and water
barriers are required, they should be installed in addition to ZIP
Syster 11 tape.

5. Appl isealant to jambs and header allowing for
drain ge at the sill in accordance with window
man facturer's installation instructions. When
using lZlP System tape, use a butyl, polyurethane
or 100% silicone sealant. Do not use latex or
other i water -based sealants with ZIP System
tape. When using another flashing tape, follow the
fiashi g manufac-turer's recommendations in
c i seleng a sealant compatible with that flashing.
6. Install and level window per manufacturer's
installation instructions.
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.
8. Secure the rigid head flashing to ZIP System
wall sheathing.
s
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 overlaps 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 0
System tape. If using another flashing tape, follow
the flashing manufacturer's recommendation in
selecting a sealant compatible with that flashing.
