Installation Details (continued)
ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing can be used with a range of exterior
claddings and roof coverings. Approved wall coverings include brick,
vinyl, stone, wood fiber cement, wood and cedar shakes, traditional hard
coat stucco and specified drainable EIFS applications, however it is
not recommended for use with adhesively attached EIFS. Approved roof
coverings include asphalt -fiberglass shingles, metal tiles and panels, clay and
concrete tiles, slate and slate -type shingles and wood shakes and shingles.
Follow all cladding and roof covering manufacturer's installation instructions.
ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing can be used on buildings of Type
III (Roof Applications ONLY) and Type V construction and construction
permitted under the IRC.
ZIP System* Roof & Wall Sheathing Includes:
ZIP System sheathing panels with built-in moisture barrier with preprinted
fastening and tape guides
ZIP System tape
Storage and Handling
Set panel stack on three supports (stickers) to keep off the ground.
Outdoors, cover panels loosely with waterproof protective material.
Anchor covers on top of the stack, but keep away from sides and bottom
to assure good air circulation.
In high moisture environments, cut banding on the panel stack to prevent
edge damage.
ZIP System* Roof & Wall Sheathing Notes and Limitations:
Do not use on roofs with slopes less than 2112.
Do not use abutted against general stone or masonry without providing a
minimum of a 1/2' gap.
Do not install ZiP System tape in temperatures less than 20° F
ZIP System products are not recommended for manufactured housing
applications that are built under a federal building code administered by
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Do not use panel edge clips (H-Clips) with ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing
without expressed written approval from Huber Engineered Woods."

Secondary Coatings
Do not apply secondary coatings or treatments to ZIP System Roof & Wall
sheathing panels with the exception of the following:
- HEW approved fire resistant coatings. Fire resistant coatings must be
tested and approved by HEW for use with ZIP System panels.
- Feld applied water-soluble borate insecticide or fungicide treatments
applied to the non overlay side of the panel. See technical tip, "Termite

Permeable laminated radiant barrier foil or paint. For a radiant barrier foil or
coating to be considered permeable, it must have an applied permeance of
five perms or greater as tested by the ASTM E 96 wet cup standard. For a
radiant foil, the permeance evaluation would include any adhesive and/or
backer used to laminate a foil. For a radiant paint/coating, the permeance
evaluation should be conducted at the applied thickness of the paint/coating.

ZIP S�" stem" 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 s "ould 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 r of 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 inst lation 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 construction and safety practices should be followed at all times.
Step
ure that the panel surface is dry and clean of any nails, sawdust, or
:r debris or protrusions prior to installing or walking on the panels.
r ensuring compliance with all OSHA and local code safety
elines, install ZIP System sheathing panels with the moisture
ier surface facing outside. The long edge (8') should be oriented
tendicular to the framing members, and panels should be installed
the 4' edge seams staggered a minimum of 24°.
spacing between square edges of all adjacent panels is recommended,
:cordance with industry standards for wood sheathing. (Tongue &
we panels are designed to self -space and do not require manual
:ing on the 8' edges.)
rsure that ZIP System panels span at least three framing members and
(framing member supports the entire 4' edge of the panels.
ssten the ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing panel to the framing
embers with code approved fasteners spaced at the appropriate
ge and intermediate spacing. It is the responsibility of the general
ntractor to verity proper fastener type and spacing prior to Installation.
Ipply the fasteners 3/8' from the panel ends and comers.
n ideal installation would be where fastener heads are flush with the
anel surface. However, due to variations in materials and limitations
n equipment, this may be difficult to achieve in some situations. It
s not required to tape over overdriven fasteners unless the fastener
ead creates a hole through the entire panel thickness. Please see

- En ure that the tape is centered over the seam within +/- 1/2° to provide
ad quate coverage and to ensure that wrinkles in the tape are minimized.
- E sure that tape lengths are continuous across the 8' horizontal edge

02 and 03.
ZIP System tape may be used as pan flashing if
installed in accordance with flanged 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

of 6' up each jamb.
Apply sealant around inside face of mounting
flange. Sealant must be gapped at the sill
to permit drainage. Install and level window per
manufacturers installation instructions. Verify
sealant compatibility with window manufacturer.
When using ZIP System tape as pan flashing,
butyl, 100% silicone or polyurethane sealants
are acceptable. Do not use latex or other water -
based sealants.
4. Cut two pieces of ZIP System tape or another
adhesive -backed flashing tape (must meet [CC -

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%
