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 signi ficant
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
+/- !h inch (12.7 mm) of all panel edge seam centers. The
tape shall extend a minimum of I 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.

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 scaling tape,
which allows the systems. to be used to meet the water -
resistive barrier requirements in Chapter 14 and Section
2510.6 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 feet 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 7116, 112, 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 518-inch thick panels.
4.2 ZIP System' Tape. The ZIP System' Tape is a self -
adhering 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.
