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 SystemO Roof & Wall Sheathing Notes and Limitations:
Do not use on roofs with slopes less than 2/12.
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.)
ntents (continued)
W IT Coverings
ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing should be covered with the finished
Ifoof covering or exterior cladding within 180 days of installation.
Pshed roof and exterior cladding products should be installed per
manufacturer's installation instructions.
er the recommendation of the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association
nd the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, wood siding should be primed
efore installation.
hen original roofing or claddings are removed and replaced on existing ZIP
yslem sheathing, the roof or wall should be covered with an additional
oofing undedayment or water resistive barrier prior to installation of the
,]"ew finished roofing or cladding.
In cladding systems requiring multiple layers of water -resistive barriers,
aditional hard -coat stucco, ZIP System sheathing is intended only to
:e 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 painUcoating, the permeance
evaluation should be conducted at the applied thickness of the paint/coating.

System' Sheathing Installation on Roofs
:rview: ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing is composed of ZIP System panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP System? Roof & Wall Sheathing
els 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
:he 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
tions 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
installation process. These are manufacturer installation recommendations —please visit zipsystem.com fora library of flashing and installation details. You are
' and solely responsible for all safety requirements. Good construction and safety practices should be followed at all times.
ip 1.
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.
After ensuring compliance with all OSHA and local code safety
guidelines, install ZIP System sheathing panels with the moisture
barrier surface facing outside. The long edge (8') should be oriented
perpendicular to the framing members, and panels should be installed
with the 4' edge seams staggered a minimum of 24°.
1/8' spacing between square edges of all adjacent panels is recommended,
in accordance with industry standards for wood sheathing. (Tongue &
Groove panels are designed to self -space and do not require manual
spacing on the 8' edges.) A

Ensure that ZIP System panels span at least three framing members and
19 framing member supports the entire 4' edge of the panels.
Fasten the ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing panel to the framing
embers with code approved fasteners spaced at the appropriate
dge and intermediate spacing. It is the responsibility of the general
ontractor to verify proper fastener type and spacing prior to installation.

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
se 11 I the 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
onitape in high temperature environments. ZIP System tape is a contact tape that requires pressure for an adequate seal.
Apply ZIP Sstem tape to every vertical and horizontal panel seam. It is
at the discreytion 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.
- Ensure that the tape is centered over the seam within +/- 1/2' to provide
adequate coverage and to ensure that wrinkles in the tape are minimized.
Ensure that tape lengths are continuous across the 8' horizontal edge
of the panels. It splices are unavoidable, create an overlapping splice
of at least 3". Apply moderate pressure onto the surface of the tape to
ensure a secure bond between the panel and the tape.
Use ZIP System tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape
and smooth out any wrinkles.
