ZIP Sj stem® Sheathing Installation on Roofs
Overview: ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing is composed of ZIP System panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP System° Roof & Wall Sheathing
panels should be fully installed before the seam seating tape is applied. In general, the ZIP System roof sheathing panels should be installed from the lowest point
on the 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
sectionsbf 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 insta lation process. These are manufacturer installation recommendations— please visit zipsyste.com for a library of flashing and installation details. You are
fully and lJsolely m
, olely responsible for all safety requirements. Good construction and safety practices should be followed at all times.
Step
Ens re that the panel surface is dry and clean of any nails, sawdust, or
othl r debris or protrusions prior to installing or walking on the panels.
Aft! ensuring compliance with all OSHA and local code safety
PI
guidelines, install ZIP System sheathing panels with the moisture
barer surface facing outside. The long edge (8') should be oriented
perpendicular to the framing members, and panels should be installed
withl,lthe 4' edge seams staggered a minimum of 24'.
1/8° acing between square edges of all adjacent panels is recommended,
in a cordance with industry standards for woad sheathing. (Tongue &
Grc ve panels are designed to self -space and do not require manual
spaIng on the 8' edges.)
Step 2.�
Ens a that ZIP System panels span at least three framing members and
a fra i ing member supports the entire 4' edge of the panels.
Faste, the ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing panel to the framing
mem ers with code approved fasteners spaced at the appropriate
edge and intermediate spacing. It is the responsibility of the general
contr' ctor to verity proper fastener type and spacing prior to Installation.
Apply, he fasteners 3/8" from the panel ends and comers.
An id al installation would be where fastener heads are flush with the
panel! However, due to variations in materials and limitations
on eq ipment, this may be difficult to achieve in some situations. It
is notllrequired to tape over overdriven fasteners unless the fastener
head creates a hole through the entire panel thickness. Please see
the tt hnical tip, "Overdriven Fasteners in ZIP System Roof and Wall
Sheathing," for more information.
Step 3.
Install to Qorary toe boards as necessary when applying the ZIP System
sheathing panels up the slope of the roof planes.
8' Panel Edges
The unique edge profile is
designed to accommodate
Incremental panel
expansion and does not
require manual gapping
along the 8' edges.
4' Panel Edges
Maintain 1/8' space
where 4' edges meet.
Unique edge profile is on
8' edges only.

m"' Tape Installation - Roof Panel Seams
LY M
Apply ZIPI 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 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
on tape iA high temperature environments. ZIP System tape is a contact tape that requires pressure for an adequate seal.
Step 1 J
Appj ZIP System tape to every vertical and horizontal panel seam. It is
at I discretion of the installer whether to apply tape from the top down
or fr'�,"e
m the bottom up. However, working from the highest sections of
the of and working down will minimize foot traffic on the tape.
EnsIthat 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 th� panels. If splices are unavoidable, create an overlapping splice
of at least 3". Apply moderate pressure onto the surface of the tape to
ens le a secure bond between the panel and the tape.
Use IP System tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape
and ooth out any wrinkles.
Takpecial care to remove any voids and/or trapped air at splice
areas and T-joints.

I Step 2. II
For v lley areas of framing, we recommend you use 6" wide ZIP System
tape. his tape is wider than panel seam tape and is designed to give you
optiTI protection in valley areas.
Startig from the bottom and working your way up, apply one continuous r 5 piece of 6° tape so that the center of the tape is over the valley seam. 4 ° °'s'`LL

Use t e tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape to ensure
propeIlI contact with the panel and to eliminate any wrinkles that might
have occurred In the tape. Take special care to seat tape completely
into t valley.
Note:
- It is i �portant to pay extra attention to valley taping as water is
direct, ed toward the valleys during rain events.
- Self -adhering ice and water barriers may be required by code. ZIP `
Syste tape is not considered a replacement for self -adhering ice
and w ter barriers. Therefore, when self -adhering ice and water
