Overview
ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing is composed of ZIP System panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP System" Roof & Wall Sheathing
panels s
Quld 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 ro
f 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 install
tion process. These are manufacturer installation recommendations — please visit zipsystem.com for a library of flashing and installation details. You are
fully and sblely
responsible for all safety requirements. Good construction and safety practices should be followed at all times.
Step 1.
- Ens
re that the panel surface is dry and clean of any nails, sawdust, or
oth
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

edg
and intermediate spacing. It is the responsibility of the general
con
actor to verify proper fastener type and spacing prior to installation.
- App

- An i
pan
eal installation would be where fastener heads are flush with the
II surface. However, due to variations in materials and limitations
on EPuipment,
this may be difficult to achieve in some situations. It
is ni

Apply ZI 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 li,
ams 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 high temperature environments. ZIP System tape is a contact tape that requires pressure for an adequate seal.
Step 1
- App ZIP System tape to every vertical and horizontal panel seam. It is
at V discretion of the installer whether to apply tape from the top down
or f m the bottom up. However, working from the highest sections of
the of and working down will minimize foot traffic on the tape.
- Ens re that the tape is centered over the seam within +/- 1/2" to provide
adei uate coverage and to ensure that wrinkles in the tape are minimized.
- Ens ire that tape lengths are continuous across the 8' horizontal edge
of tf a panels. If splices are unavoidable, create an overlapping splice
of a least 3". Apply moderate pressure onto the surface of the tape to
ensi re a secure bond between the panel and the tape.
- Use I ZIP System tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape
and smooth out any wrinkles.
- Tak special care to remove any voids and/or trapped air at splice
are and T-joints.
Step 2.1
For V alley areas of framing, we recommend you use 6" wide ZIP System
tape I This tape is wider than panel seam tape and is designed to give you
optii I nal protection in valley areas.
Star ing from the bottom and working your way up, apply one continuous
piec 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
prol r contact with the panel and to eliminate any wrinkles that might
hav occurred in the tape. Take special care to seat tape completely
into ihe valley.
Note:
- It i important to pay extra attention to valley taping as water is
dir ted toward the valleys during rain events.
Sell 7 adhering ice and water barriers may be required by code. ZIP
