Sheathing Installation on Roofs
Overview��ZIP
I
System Roof & Wall sheathing is composed of ZIP System panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP Systems Roof & Wall Sheathing
panels sh
on the roo
uld 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
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 tape. The following installation steps are presented as guidelines and a general outline of
the installa
ion process. These are manufacturer installation recommendations — please visit zipsystem.com for a library of flashing and installation details. You are
fully and s';ely
responsible for all safety requirements. Good construction and safety practices should be followed at all times.
Step 1.
- Ensu
other
V that the panel surface is dry and clean of any nails, sawdust, or
debris or protrusions prior to installing or walking on the panels.
- After
ensuring compliance with all OSHA and local code safety
guidelines,

member supports the entire 4' edge of the panels.
- Faste�,l
the ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing panel to the framing

and intermediate spacing. It is the responsibility of the general
contr
'Ictor to verify proper fastener type and spacing prior to installation.
Apply
the fasteners 3/8" from the panel ends and comers.
An id
Ial installation would be where fastener heads are flush with the
panel

surface. However, due to variations in materials and limitations
I ipment, this may be difficult to achieve in some situations. It
is not,
�equired to tape over overdriven fasteners unless the fastener

ZIP System'" Tape Installation - Roof Panel Seams
Apply ZIP�ystem 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 s ams 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. 1
Appl I ZIP System tape to every vertical and horizontal panel seam. It is
at th discretion of the installer whether to apply tape from the top down
or fro'I the bottom up. However, working from the highest sections of
the r!'of and working down will minimize foot traffic on the tape.
Ensu' a that the tape is centered over the seam within +/- 1/2" to provide
adeq ate coverage and to ensure that wrinkles in the tape are minimized.
Ensu a that tape lengths are continuous across the 8' horizontal edge
of th panels. If splices are unavoidable, create an overlapping splice
of at east 3". Apply moderate pressure onto the surface of the tape to
ensu ie a secure bond between the panel and the tape.
Use tooth
P System tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape
and out any wrinkles.
Take 11 special care to remove any voids and/or trapped air at splice
area land T-joints.
Step 2.
For vIley areas of framing, we recommend you use 6" wide ZIP System
tape. his tape is wider than panel seam tape and is designed to give you
optimi'll
I protection in valley areas.
Startifrom the bottom and working your way up, apply one continuous
piecef 6" tape so that the center of the tape is over the valley seam.
Use t„ a tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape to ensure
prope� contact with the panel and to eliminate any wrinkles that might
have ccurred in the tape. Take special care to seat tape completely
into t e valley.
Note:
- It is 1portant to pay extra attention to valley taping as water is
directed toward the valleys during rain events.
- Self -a dhering ice and water barriers may be required by code. ZIP
Syste - tape is not considered a replacement for self -adhering ice
and I dater barriers. Therefore, when self -adhering ice and water
barri Is are required, they should be installed in addition to ZIP
Syste, tape.

Ens a that they cover the entire inside of the rough
open ng as well as overlap onto the sheathing by
at le I st 2". Flashing shall also extend above the
roug I opening, such that it will project 1" beyond
the xerior trim of the window.
I
On4 the tape is in place, use the tape gun or roller
to seal the flashing to the sheathing.
5. Appl'I sealant to jambs and header allowing for
drai age at the sill in accordance with window
man�ifacturer's installation instructions. When v
using ZIP System tape, use a butyl, polyurethane
or 160% silicone sealant. Do not use latex or
othe�'l water -based sealants with ZIP System t`
tape. (When using another flashing tape, follow the
flashing manufac-turer's recommendations in
sele II ing a sealant compatible with that flashing.
6. Install and level window per manufacturer's
installation 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 z
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.
