ZIP ystem• Roof & Wall Sheathing Safety Guidelines
F low all OSHA regulations and any other safety guidelines and safety
pr ctices during installation and construction.
- U approved safety bails and/or harnesses or other fall protection equipment.
- in all ZIP System panels and tape only in dry conditions and on dry surfaces.
D not install in rain, snow, frost or other slippery conditions.
- W ar rubber -soled or other high -traction footwear while installing ZIP System
s ' athing in a roof application. Do not wear footwear with wom soles or heels.
- E ure the roofing surface is free from oil, chemicals, sawdust, dirt, tools,
at ctric cords, air hoses, clothing and anything else that might create a
td ping hazard.
- In Itall temporary toe boards along the ZIP System sheathing roof surface.
WhIl Is ZIP System° Roof & Wall Sheathing?
ZIP ystem Roof & Wall sheathing is code -recognized as a wood structural
pan roofing undedayment (ICC-ES ESR-1473), water -resistive barrier
and it barrier (IMES ESR-1474). ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing
has built-in moisture barrier that lets you say good-bye to building paper
or usewrap on the walls and fell paper on the roof.' Simply install the
pan Is, tape the seams, and you have a structural.wall sheathing, water-
resi ive barrier and air barrier or a structural roof sheathing and roofing
undI�rlayment 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" 11
Do not use ZIP System tape to permanently seal around circular roof
projections (plumbing vents, pipes, curved walls, etc.) i
(continued)
Wall C'bverings
ZIP 11 ystem Roof & Wall sheathing should be covered with the finished
root overing or exterior cladding within 180 days of installation.
Finis ed roof and exterior cladding products should be installed per
the 1 anufacturer's installation instructions.
Per he recommendation of the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association
and he U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, wood siding should be primed
belt installation.
Whe original roofing or claddings are removed and replaced on existing ZIP
System sheathing, the roof or wall should be covered with an additional
roofyinIg undedayment or water resistive barrier prior to installation of the
newllYinished rooting or cladding.
Note: I' cladding systems requiring multiple layers of water -resistive barriers,
like tralffitionall hard -coat stucco, ZIP System sheathing is Intended only to
replaco 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 & Wail 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 paint1coating, the permeance
evaluation should be conducted at the applied thickness of the paint/coating.
ZIP lam Roof and Wall sheathing replaces only The first layer in mufli•undedayment systems.
Edg upport Is not required by code with 1/2 (32116 span rated) and 0 (40/20 span rated) performance category sheathing g the framing does not exceed 24' o.c.
and , total load does not exceed 93 psi for 1/2 and 156 psf for 518 performance categories. This Is based on U160 deflection criteria for toW load.

ZIP system® Sheathing Installation on Roofs
Overvl¢w: ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing is composed of ZIP System panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP System° Roof & Wall Sheathing
panels hould 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 IPof 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
sectior s 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 ins lIlation process. These are manufacturer installation recommendations — please visit zipsystem.com for a library of flashing and installation details. You are
fully art solely responsible for all safety requirements. Good construction and safety practices should be followed at all times.

ZIP system` Tape Installation - Roof Panel Seams
Apply ZIP 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 th seams 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 tap in high temperature environments. ZIP System tape Is a contact tape that requires pressure for an adequate seal.

a the discretion of the installer whether to apply tape from the top down
o from the bottom up. However, working from the highest sections of
tt roof and working down will minimize foot traffic on the tape.
