as applicable. BY
3.2 Installation: Lucie county
3.2.1 Installation General: Installation of the ZIP System'
Wall Sheathing panels shall comply with the applicable code,
this report and the manufacturer's published installation
instructions, The installation instructions shall be available
at the jobsite during installation. If there are any conflicts
between the manufacturer's published instructions and this
report, the more stringent requirements shall govern.
3.2.21nstaHation of Sheathing Panel: ZIP System" Wall
Sheathing shall be attached to framing in accordance with
the applicable codes.for PS-2 wood structural panels.
Tongue -and -groove and machined panel edges are designed
to provide the correct gap size at the panel edges during
installation. Square -edged panels shall be spaced 1/8-inch
(3.2 mm).
The panel shall be installed with the laminated moisture
barrier facing to the exterior. All ZiP System' Wall
Sheathing seams shall be sealed with ZIP System' Tape.
Panel surfaces shall be dry and free from any significant
presence of particles, sawdust or other debris or protrusions
prior to installation of the tape. The ZIP System' Tape
edges shall be sealed and the tape is to be centered within
+i- "'a inch (12.7 mm) of all panel edge seam centers. The
tape shall extend a minimum of 1 inch (25.4 mm) past the
panel edge T joint intersections. The tape shall be adhered
to the ZIP System`` Wall Sheathing. Wrinkles in the ZIP
System' seam tape are acceptable unless they create a leak
path to the panel seam.
All penetrations of the ZIP System1D Wall Sheathing surface
overlay such as cracking, openings, etc., caused by handling
or construction work, shall be covered with ZIP System'
Tape.
3.2.3 Installation of Second Water -Resistive Barrier
(WRB) Layer: In the two -layer water -resistive barrier
systems (WRB) required by IBC Section 2510.6 or IRC
Section R703.7.3, ZIP System' Wall Sheathing performs as
the First WRB layer. A second WRB layer with performance
equivalent to a layer of ASTM 2556, Typel shall be provided
over the ZIP System' for construction under the 2015 BC.
A second WRB layer with performance equivalent to a layer
of Grade D paper shall be provided over the ZIP System' for
construction under the 2012 IBC and the 2015 and 2012 IRC.

of the 2012 IECC.
4.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
4.1 ZIP System' Wall Sheathing Panels. The ZIP System'
wall sheathing panels are wood structural panels having a.
laminated moisture barrier surface on one side of the panel.
The ;,panels are installed with ZIP System seam sealing tape,
which allows the systems to be used to meet the water
resistive barrier requirements in Chapter 14 and Section
2516.6 of the 2015 IBC. The wood structural panel substrate
complies with US DOC PS-2. The moisture barrier surface
on the wood structural panel consist of a medium density
phenolic impregnated overlay. The standard -size panels are
nominally 4 feel by 8 feet (1219 mm by 2438 mm). Panels
longer than 8 feet (2438 mm) in length are also produced. The
panels are available in thicknesses of 7t16, 1i2, and 518 inch
(l 1.1,12.7 and 15.9 mm) with either a self -spacing or square
edge profile and with a tongue -and -groove edge profile also
available for the 51-inch thick panels.
4.2 ZIP System* Tape. The ZIP System' Tape is a self-
adliering sheet -type membrane consisting of acrylic adhesive
laminated to a polyolefin backing. The tape is 0.012 inch (0.3
mm) thick with a minimum width of3.75 inches (95 mm) and
comes in rolls of varying lengths.
