ZIP Sy,'stem® Sheathing Installation on Roofs
Overvle": ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing is composed of ZIP System panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP System° Roof & Wall Sheathing
panels s iould 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 Ilation process. These are manufacturer installation recommendations —please visit zipsystem.com for a library of flashing and installation details. You are
fully anc solely responsible for all safety requirements. Good construction and safety practices should be followed at all times.
Step
sure that the panel surface is dry and clean of any nails, sawdust, or
er debris or protrusions prior to installing or walking on the panels.
tler ensuring compliance with all OSHA and local code safety
delines, install ZIP System sheathing panels with the moisture
rner surface facing outside. The long edge (8') should be oriented
rpendicular to the framing members, and panels should be installed
th the 4' edge seams staggered a minimum of 24'.
3" spacing between square edges of all adjacent panels is recommended,
accordance with industry standards for wood sheathing. (Tongue &
cove panels are designed to self -space and do not require manual
acing on the 8' edges.)
2.
(Ensure that ZIP System panels span at least three framing members and
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
edge and intermediate spacing. It is the responsibility of the general
contractor to verify proper fastener type and spacing prior to installation.
Apply the fasteners 3/8' from the panel ends and comers.
An ideal installation would be where fastener heads are flush with the
panel surface. However, due to variations in materials and limitations
on 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
the technical tip, "Overdriven Fasteners in ZIP System Roof and Wall
Sheathing," for more information.

ZIP Sy,'stem' Tape Installation - Roof Panel Seams
Apply ZIPJSystem tape after all ZIP System Roof 8r Wall sheathing panels are fully fastened to roof -framing members. Only ZIP System tape should be used to
seal the s lams 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 i, i high temperature environments. ZIP System tape is a contact tape that requires pressure for an adequate seal.
Step 11I
Apply ZIP System tape to every vertical and horizontal panel seam. It is
at tie discretion of the installer whether to apply tape from the top down
or �om the bottom up. However, working from the highest sections of
the roof and working down will minimize foot traffic on the tape.
En lure that the tape is centered over the seam within +/- 1/2° to provide
ad I uate coverage and to ensure that wrinkles in the tape are minimized.
E�}sure that tape lengths are continuous across the 8' horizontal edge
of the panels. If splices are unavoidable, create an overlapping splice
of tat least 3°. Apply moderate pressure onto the surface of the tape to
3sure a secure bond between the panel and the tape.
