Overview: (,ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing is composed of ZIP System panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP System" Roof & Wall Sheathing
panels shod 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 of 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 �e roof and working down will minimize foot traffic on the tape. 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 sol�ly responsible for all safety requirements. Good construction and safety practices should be followed at all times.
Step 1.
- Ensur .I 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
gwdeli es, install ZIP System sheathing panels with the moisture
barrier (surface facing outside. The long edge (8') should be oriented
perpe dicular to the framing members, and panels should be installed
with th 4' edge seams staggered a minimum of 24".
- 1/8" sp Icing between square edges of all adjacent panels is recommended,
in acc dance with industry standards for wood sheathing. (Tongue &
Groov panels are designed to self -space and do not require manual
spacin on the 8' edges.)
Step 2. 11
- Ensure hat ZIP System panels span at least three framing members and
a frami I9 member supports the entire 4' edge of the panels.
- Fasten the ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing panel to the framing
membeE with code approved fasteners spaced at the appropriate
edge a d intermediate spacing. It is the responsibility of the general
contracts to verify proper fastener type and spacing prior to installation.
- Apply t fasteners 3/8" from the panel ends and corners.
- An ideiface.
nstallation would be where fastener heads are flush with the
panels However, due to variations in materials and limitations
on equment, this may be difficult to achieve in some situations. It
is not ruired to tape over overdriven fasteners unless the fastener
head cates a hole through the entire panel thickness. Please see
the technical tip, "Overdriven Fasteners in ZIP System Roof and Wall
SheathiZ," for more information.
Step 3.
Install temp rary toe boards as necessary when applying the ZIP System
sheathing p nels up the slope of the roof planes.
8' Panel Edges
The unique edge profile is
designed to accommodate
incremental panel
expansion and does not
require manual gapping
along the 8' edges.
4' Panel Edges
Maintain 1/8" space
where 4' edges meet.
Unique edge profile is on
8' edges only.
ZIP
" Tape Installation - Roof Panel Seams
Apply ZIP S Istem 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 sea s 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 hth temperature environments. ZIP System tape is a contact tape that requires pressure for an adequate seal.
Step 1.
Apply IP System tape to every vertical and horizontal panel seam. It is
at the I scretion of the installer whether to apply tape from the top down
or from,the bottom up. However, working from the highest sections of
the roo and working down will minimize foot traffic on the tape.
Ensure hat the tape is centered over the seam within +/- 1/2" to provide
adequa a coverage and to ensure that wrinkles in the tape are minimized.
Ensure that tape lengths are continuous across the 8' horizontal edge
of the r anels. If splices are unavoidable, create an overlapping splice
of at le Ist 3". Apply moderate pressure onto the surface of the tape to
ensure' secure bond between the panel and the tape.
Use ZI .� System tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape
and sm' oth out any wrinkles.
Take special care to remove any voids and/or trapped air at splice
areas aid T-joints.
Step 2.
For vall areas of framing, we recommend you use 6" wide ZIP System
For va4
tape. This tape is wider than panel seam tape and is designed to give you
optimal , i rotection in valley areas.
Starting from the bottom and working your way up, apply one continuous
piece o $I6" tape so that the center of the tape is over the valley seam.
Use the Pape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape to ensure
proper ontact with the panel and to eliminate any wrinkles that might
have oc�c� urred in the tape. Take special care to seat tape completely
into the tiiJj y.
Note:
It is im 'lortant to pay extra attention to valley taping as water is
directed toward the valleys during rain events.
- Self -ad Iering ice and.water barriers may be required by code. ZIP
System tape is not considered a replacement for self -adhering ice
and wa r barriers. Therefore, when self -adhering ice and water
barrier are required, they should be installed in addition to ZIP
System gape.

6. Installland level window per manufacturer's
instal ation instructions.
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.
8. Secure the rigid head flashing to ZIP System
wall sheathing.

'i
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
System tape. If using another flashing tape, follow
the flashing manufacturer's recommendation in
selecting a sealant compatible with that flashing.
