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 200 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. —
Do not use ZIP System tape to permanently seal around circular roof
projections (plumbing,vents,.pipes, curved walls, etc.)
(continued)
Wall C"veOngs
ZIP i ystem Roof & Wall sheathing should be covered with the finished
roof Fovering or exterior cladding within 180 days of installation.
Finished roof and exterior cladding products should be installed per
the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Per `Fkhe recommendation of the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association
and the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, wood siding should be primed
before installation.
Wh I;l original roofing or claddings are removed and replaced on existing ZIP
Sys4e.m sheathing, the roof or wall should be covered with an additional
roofing undedayment or water resistive barrier prior to installation of the
nevJ,ilfinished roofing or cladding.
Note: to cladding systems requiring multiple layers of water -resistive barriers,
like traditional hard -coat stucco, ZIP System sheathing is intended only to
replacp the first layer.
Wet Blown Cellulose Insulation
- In addition to following manufacturer installation Instructions, we recommend
a maximum moisture content of the cellulose of less than 25% measured at
the inside surface of the ZIP System panel before closing the wall cavity.
Secondary Coatings
Do not apply secondary coatings or treatments to ZIP System Root & 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.
- Field applied water-soluble borate insecticide or fungicide treatments
applied to the non overlay side of the panel. See technical tip, "Termite
Treatments on ZIP System Roof & Wall Sheathing," on zipsystem.com for
more information.
- 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.
Z(P System roof and Wall sheathing replaces only, the first layer in muhi•undedayment systems.

ZIP System® Sheathing Installation on Roofs
Overvleil : 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 of to the highest. It is at the discretion of the installer whether to apply to from the top down or from the bottom up. However, working from the highest
sectiona' 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 11Nation 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 I7.
i
Ensure that the panel surface is dry and clean of any nails, sawdust, or
other debris or protrusions prior to installing or walking on the panels.
�fter ensuring compliance with all OSHA and local code safety
guidelines, install ZIP System sheathing panels with the moisture
ba11 mer surface facing outside. The long edge (8') should be oriented
perpendicular to the framing members, and panels should be installed
th the 4' edge seams staggered a minimum of 24'.
1 ' spacing between square edges of all adjacent panels is recommended,
I accordance with industry standards for wood sheathing. (Tongue &
�111roove panels are designed to self -space and do not require manual
spacing on the 8' edges.)
Steel 2.
Ensure that ZIP System panels span at least three framing members and
Iji
a framing member supports the entire 4' edge of the panels.
fasten the ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing panel to the framing
members with code approved fasteners spaced at the appropriate
11 edge and intermediate spacing. It is the responsibility of the general
contractor to verity proper fastener type and spacing prior to installation.
,�ppiy the fasteners 3/8' from the panel ends and comers.
An ideal installation would be where fastener heads are flush with the
one surface. However, due to variations in materials and limitations
Ton equipment, this may be difficult to achieve in some situations. It
is not required 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 Or 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, eams 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 ill.
- Apply ZIP System tape to every vertical and horizontal panel seam. It is
at he discretion of the installer whether to apply tape from the top down
or from the bottom up. However, working from the highest sections of
th' roof and working down will minimize foot traffic on the tape.
- End sure that the tape is centered over the seam within +/-1/2' to provide
adi quate coverage and to ensure that wrinkles in the tape are minimized.
Ensure that tape lengths are continuous across the 8' horizontal edge
