Istem® Sheathing Installation on Roofs
Overvie
: 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. In general, the ZIP System roof sheathing panels should be installed from the lowest point
on the rook
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 install
tion process. These are manufacturer installation recommendations —please visit zipsystem.com for a library of flashing and installation details. You are
fully and
Oely responsible for all safety requirements. Good construction and safety practices should be followed at all times.

ZIPS 1stem'" Tape Installation - Roof Panel Seams
Apply ZI ISystem 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 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 i high temperature environments. ZIP System tape is a contact tape that requires pressure for an adequate seal.
Step 1,
Ap ZIP System tape to every vertical and horizontal panel seam. It is
atth discretion of the installer whether to apply tape from the top down
or fi m the bottom up. However, working from the highest sections of
the roof and working down will minimize foot traffic on the tape.
Ens ire that the tape is centered over the seam within +/- 1/2" to provide
ade �uate coverage and to ensure that wrinkles in the tape are minimized.
EnslI re that tape lengths are continuous across the 8' horizontal edge
of tli panels. If splices are unavoidable, create an overlapping splice
of a least 3". Apply moderate pressure onto the surface of the tape to
ens re a secure bond between the panel and the tape.
Use ZIP System tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape
and mooth out any wrinkles.
- Tak special care to remove any voids and/or trapped air at splice
are and T-joints.
Step 2.
- For alley areas of framing, we recommend you use 6" wide ZIP System
tap This tape is wider than panel seam tape and is designed to give you
opt Iial protection in valley areas.
- Start ng from the bottom and working your way up, apply one continuous
pied of 6" tape so that the center of the tape is over the valley seam.
- Use he tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape to ensure
pro r contact with the panel and to eliminate any wrinkles that might
hav occurred in the tape. Take special care to seat tape completely
into he valley.
Note:
- It is pmportant to pay extra attention to valley taping as water is
dire ted toward the valleys during rain events.
- Self adhering ice and water barriers may be required by code. ZIP
Sys 1 m tape is not considered a replacement for self -adhering ice
and rater barriers. Therefore, when self -adhering ice and water
bar jers are required, they should be installed in addition to ZIP
Sys pm tape.
