Sysfem® Roof & Wall Sheathing Installation Manual
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
:is 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
to 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
ons 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
nstallation process. These are manufacturer installation recommendations —please visit zipsystem.com for a 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.
p 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.)
p 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 System`" Tape Installation - Roof Panel Seams
Ap ' � ZIP System tape after all ZIP System Roof & Wail sheathing panels are fully fastened to roof -framing members. Only ZIP System tape should be used to
sea 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
onI pe in high temperature environments. ZIP System tape is a contact tape that requires pressure for an adequate seal.
P 1.
Apply ZIP System tape to every vertical and horizontal panel seam. 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.
Ensure that the tape is centered over the seam within +/- 1/2" 16 provide
adequate coverage and to ensure that wrinkles -in -the -tape are -minimized.
Ensure that tape lengths are continuous across t� 8' horizontal edge
of the panels. If 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.
Take special care to remove any voids and/or trapped air at splice
areas and T-joints.
p 2.
For valley areas of framing, we recommend you use 6" wide ZIP System
tape. This tape is wider than panel seam tape and is designed to give you
optimal protection in valley areas.
Starting from the bottom and working your way up, apply one continuous
piece of 6° tape so that the center of the tape is over the valley seam.
Use the tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape to ensure
proper contact with the panel and to eliminate any wrinkles that might
have occurred in the tape. Take special care to seat tape completely
into the valley.
It is Important to pay extra attention to valley taping as water is
directed toward the valleys during rain events.
Self -adhering ice and water barriers may be required by code. ZIP
System tape is not considered a replacement for self -adhering Ice
and water barriers. Therefore, when self -adhering ice and water
j barriers are required, they should be installed in addition to ZIP
System tape.
