ATT NTION: This Installation guide Is intended to provide general
Infor atlon for the designer and end user. The following guidelines
will Delp you safely and properly install the ZIP System• Roof & Wall
wall heathing. We urge you, and anyone Installing this product, to
read these guidelines In order to minimize any risk of safety hazards
and o prevent voiding any applicable warranties. This manual is
a ge eral Installation guide and does not cover every Installation
cond tion. Proper Installation shall be deemed to mean the most
restr ctive requirement specified by Huber Engineered Woods (HEW),
local,' building code, engineer or architect of record or other authority

requ ements and code compliance. For additional information contact
Hub r Engineered Woods LLC.
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 e approved safety baits and/or harnesses orotherfall 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
sheathing 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,
0 ctric cords, air hoses, clothing and anything else that might create a
tri Ing hazard.
- In all temporary toe boards along the ZIP System sheathing roof surface.
Wha' Is ZIP System° Roof & Wall Sheathing?
ZIP ystem Roof & Wall sheathing is code -recognized as a wood structural
pan , roofing undedayment (IMES ESR-1473), water -resistive barrier
and dr barrier (IMES ESR-1474). ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing
has t built-in moisture barrier that lets you say good-bye to building paper
or h usewrap on the walls and fell paper on the roof.' Simply install the
panc s, tape the seams, and you have a structural wall sheathing, water -
resistive barrier and air barrier or a structural roof sheathing and roofing
und4oayment 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 'overings
ZIP!5ystem Roof & Wall sheathing should be covered with the finished
roo covering or exterior cladding within 180 days of installation.
Fin shed roof and exterior cladding products should be installed per
the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Pe 1the recommendation of the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association
an the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, wood siding should be primed
bef to installation.
Wh'� n original roofing or claddings are removed and replaced on existing ZIP
Sys11111iem sheathing, the roof or wall should be covered with an additional
roofing undedayment or water resistive barrier prior to installation of the
r e ,, finished roofing or cladding.
Note; r cladding systems requiring multiple layers of water -resistive barriers,
like try ditional hard -coat stucco, ZIP System sheathing is intended only to
replye 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.
