ZIP S7%Istem• Roof & Wall Sheathing Safety Guidelines
- Foll 1iw all OSHA regulations and any other safety guidelines and safety
pro ices during installation and construction.
- Use approved safety bells and/or harnesses or other fall protection equipment.
- Inst., I ZIP System panels and tape only in dry conditions and on dry surfaces.
Do ' t install in rain, snow, frost or other slippery conditions.
- We ,f rubber -soled or other high -traction footwear while installing ZIP System
she thing in a roof application. Do not wear footwear with wom soles or heels.
- Ens !1fe the roofing surface is free from oil, chemicals, sawdust, dirt, tools,
elec' c cords, air hoses, clothing and ,anything else that might create a
triperghazard.
- Instal temporary toe boards along the ZIP System sheathing roof surface.
What I 'ZIP System° Roof & Wall Sheathing?
ZIP Sy Iltem Roof & Wall sheathing is code -recognized as a wood structural
panel, roofing underlayment (IMES ESR-1473), water -resistive barrier
and air'barrier (IMES ESR-1474). ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing
has a uilt-in moisture barrier that lets you say good-bye to building paper
or hou wrap on the walls and fell paper on the roof.' Simply install the
panels,'Itape the seams, and you have a structural wall sheathing, water-
resistiv' barrier and air barrier or a structural roof sheathing and roofing
underia'iment all from one product.

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."
Do not use ZIP System tape to permanently seal around circular roof
projections (plumbing vents, pipes, curved walls, etc.)
(continued)
Wall ('ICoverings
Zlf System Roof & Wall sheathing should be covered with the finished
roc covering or exterior cladding within 180 days of installation.
- Firfished roof and exterior cladding products should be installed per
the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Pe the recommendation of the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association
an the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, wood siding should be primed
before installation.
When original roofing or claddings are removed and replaced on existing ZIP
i
Sy,,lem sheathing, the roof or wall should be covered with an additional
roo ng underlayment or water resistive barrier prior to installation of the
ne l finished roofing or cladding.
Note: 16 cladding systems requiring multiple layers of water -resistive barriers,
like III ditional hard -coat stucco, ZIP System sheathing is intended only to
replac� 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 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.
- 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.
ZIP sysl in Roof and Wall sheathing replaces only the first layer in multi•undedayment systems.
" Edge su ' rt is not required by code with 1/2 (32/16 span rated) and 518 (40120 span rated) performance category sheathing 9 the framing does not exceed 24' o.c.
and the �W load does not exceed 93 pat for 1/2 and 156 psi for 518 performance categories. This Is based on U180 deflection criteria for total load.
Roof & Wall Sheathing Installation Manual
System® Sheathing Installation on Roofs
Oveilew: ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing is composed of ZIP System panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP System° Roof & Wall Sheathing
pan s 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 tIr e roof 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
secti mins 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 Installation process. These are manufacturer installation recommendations —please visit zipsystem.com fora library of flashing and installation details. You are
fully, �1d solely responsible for all safety requirements. Good construction and safety practices should be followed at all times.
nsure that the panel surface is dry and clean of any nails, sawdust, or
Cher debris or protrusions prior to installing or walking on the panels.
fter ensuring compliance with all OSHA and local code safety
uidelines, install ZIP System sheathing panels with the moisture
srrier surface facing outside. The long edge (8') should be oriented
arpendicular to the framing members, and panels should be installed
ith the 4' edge seams staggered a minimum of 24".
8° spacing between square edges of all adjacent panels is recommended,
accordance with industry standards for wood sheathing. (Tongue &

t I,-e roof and working down will minimize foot traffic on the tape.
;sure that the tape is centered over the seam within +/- 1/2' to provide
equate coverage and to ensure that wrinkles in the tape are minimized.
;sure that tape lengths are continuous across the 8' horizontal edge
of the panels. If splices are unavoidable, create an overlapping splice

1. Install ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing panels positioned
with the water -resistive barrier facing outside. The panels may
be installed with the long side of the panel oriented either
horizontally or vertically to the framing members. Walls that are
designed to resist lateral shear forces and sheathed with wood
structural panels typically require solid framing or blocking behind
all panel edges. If oriented horizontally, block horizontal joints if
wall is designed for bracing or as a shear wall.
