ZIP SgstemO Sheathing Installation on Roofs
Overvielk�lely
ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing is composed of ZIP System panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP System9 Roof & Wall Sheathing
panels sfuld 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 roto 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 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 instaltion process. These are manufacturer installation recommendations — please visit zipsystem.com for a library of flashing and installation details. You are
fully and 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
othe debris or protrusions prior to installing or walking on the panels.
- Afte ensuring compliance with all OSHA and local code safety
guid:lines, install ZIP System sheathing panels with the moisture
barrier surface facing outside. The long edge (8') should be oriented

edge 2nd intermediate spacing. It is the responsibility of the general
contr for to verify proper fastener type and spacing prior to installation.
Apply he fasteners 3/8" from the panel ends and comers.
An id �I installation would be where fastener heads are flush with the
panel urface. However, due to variations in materials and limitations
on eq'ipment, this may be difficult to achieve in some situations. It
is not equired to tape over overdriven fasteners unless the fastener
head reates a hole through the entire panel thickness. Please see

ZIP SjYsteMTm Tape Installation - Roof Panel Seams
Apply ZIP j 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 eams 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 �� 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 t 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 bof 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
adegj ate coverage and to ensure that wrinkles in the tape are minimized.
Eris f a that tape lengths are continuous across the 8' horizontal edge
of thpanels. If splices are unavoidable, create an overlapping splice
of at! east 3 . Apply moderate pressure onto the surface of the tape to
ens e a secure bond between the panel and the tape.
Use IP System tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape
and I 'mooth out any wrinkles.
Takd special care to remove any voids and/or trapped air at splice
area and T-joints.
Step 2. I'I
For v Iley areas of framing, we recommend you use 6" wide ZIP System
tape.l his tape is wider than panel seam tape and is designed to give you
opti `'i 1 protection in valley areas.
St g from the bottom and working your way up, apply one continuous
piece I f 6" tape so that the center of the tape is over the valley seam.
Use 4 e tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape to ensure
prop t contact with the panel and to eliminate any wrinkles that might
hccurred in the tape. Take special care to seat tape completely
into tvalley.
I Note:
It is i portant to pay extra attention to valley taping as water is
direc led toward the valleys during rain events.
Self- hering ice and water barriers may be required by code. ZIP
Syste' tape is not considered a replacement for self -adhering ice
and ,ter barriers. Therefore, when self -adhering ice and water
barn rs are required, they should be installed in addition to ZIP
