Moisture control and moisture vapor control are critical
elements of proper housing design. Check your local building
codes for application procedures for handling moisture and
water vapor in your area.
• When using wet blown cellulose insulation, the insulation
must not be indirect contact with the siding and it must be
allowed to drya minimum of 24 hours or longer if specified by
the insulation manufacturer.
As with all wood products, do not apply engineered wood
siding to a structure having excessive moisture conditions such
as drying concrete, plaster or wet blown cellulose insulation. If
such conditions exist, the building should be well ventilated to
allow it to dry prior to the application of the siding.
Siding must not be applied to green or crooked structural
framing members. Do not apply siding over rain -soaked or
buckled sheathing materials.
• Gutters are recommended forcontrol of roof water runoff.
SECONDARY WATER-RESISTANT BARRIER.".
A properly installed breathable water -resistive barrier is
required behind the siding. Uonsultyourlocal building code ;
for details.
LP will assume no responsibility for water penetration.
. GAPS Fr SEALANTS - -
Seal all gaps with a high -quality, non -hardening, paintable
sealant. Follow the sealant manufacturer's instructions for
application.
• Use a high -quality exterior sealant meeting the ASTM C920,
minimum Class 25 sealant.

For SI: 1 Inch = 25.4 mm, 1 pif =14.6 N/m.
01 For framing of other species: (aj find specific gravity for species of lumber In the National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS); (b) find shear value from Table for nails
size; (c) multiply value by 0.82 for species with specKc gravity greater than or equal to 0.42 but less than 0.49. or 0.65 for species with specific gravity less than 0.42.
(2) All panel edges must be backed with 24nch nominal or udder framing. Panels must be installed with the long dimension oriented in the vertical direction. Space nails 6 inches o.c.
along intermediate framing members for 318 and 7/.16 Performance Category panels installed on studs spaced 24Inches o.c. For other conditions and panel performance
categories, space nails 12 Inches o.c. an intermediate supports.
(3) For shear loads of normal or permanent load duration, the values in the Table shall be multiplied by 0.63 or 0.56, respectively.
(4) Framing at panel edges must be 3Inches nominal or wider and nails must be staggered where nails are spaced 2 inches o.c., and where 10d nails having penetration into framing
of more than 1-618Inches are spaced 3 Inches or less, o.c. Exception: Unless otherwse required, 2-Inch nominal framing maybe used where full nailing surface Is available and
nails are staggered.
(5) Except as noted in Footnote 7, panel thickness at point of nailing at panel edges determines applicable shear values, except that 318 Performance Category panels nailed at shiplap
edges use 5/16 Performance Category shear values, and 7116 and 19132 Performance Category panel sidings nailed at shiplap edges use 318 Performance Category shear values.
(4> Shiplap edges must be double -nailed; one nail must be placed in the undedap and a second nail must be placed in the ovedap at the nail spacing specified for the applicable shear
value.
in Fasteners must not be Installed In panel siding grooves in the field of the panel siding or when the panel siding grooves occur at cut edges of the panel siding.
(4) Fastener dimensions are as specified in ASTM F 1667.

• Trim should be thick enough so the siding does not extend beyond the face of the trim.
• Trim and fascia must be applied in a manner that will not allow moisture intrusion or water buildup.
Moisture Control
• Moisture control and moisture vapor control are critical elements of proper housing design and construction. Check your
local building codes for application procedures for handling moisture and water vapor in your area.
• Follow all applicable building code specifications relating to prevention of moisture intrusion Into the wall assembly. LP"
SmartSIdO siding is a wood product, and, as with all wood products, must be kept free from excessive moisture. Lack of
proper ventilation; exposure to constant or repetitive sources of water such as sprinklers, condensation, inadequate flashing;
improper sealing; or failure to follow common building practices that prevent moisture intrusion Into the wall system may
cause damage, and products subject to such treatment will be excluded from warranty coverage.
• As with all wood products, do not apply engineered wood siding to a structure having excessive moisture conditions such as
drying concrete, plaster, or wet blown cellulose insulation. If such conditions exist, the building should be well ventilated to
allow it to dry prior to the application of the siding.
• Gutters with kick -out flashing and eave drip edge are recommended for control of roof water runoff.
Flashing, Windows, Doors & Openings.
• All openings must be properly sealed or flashed in a manner that prevents moisture intrusion or buildup. Several examples
that accomplish this are shown on the following pages.
Secondary Water -Resistant Barrier
• A properly installed breathable water -resistive barrier is required behind the siding. Consult your local building code for
details.
• LP will assume no responsibility for water penetration, or damage It may cause.
Water Run -Off Control
Properly installed flashing materials will help direct water away from
common water collecting areas.
All flashing material shall be metal or another durable material that
under normal outdoor environmental conditions will last fora period
of not less than 50 years.
• All flashing materials must have a minimum 4 inch upper leg. Add a 4
inch wide adhesive flashing to Flashing legs less than
4lnches.
• Properly integrate flashing with the secondaryWRB.Use housewrap, 2aflashing tape, kickout flashing, step flashing,
Z flashing, drip edge, gutters or other items as needed to maintain the
counter -flashing principle.
• Install kickout Flashing to direct the water into the gutter. (Diagram 2a)
• Install step flashing'that has a minimum 41nch upper leg. (Diagram 2a)
• Maintain a minimum 1 inch clearance between the end of the gutter
and the adjoining wall to allow for proper maintenance of the siding.
(Diagram 2b)
• Do not extend the slding or trim into the kickout flashing or gutter.
• Prime and paint ALL exposed cut edges of siding.
we,
For the cleanest cut and longer blade life, a fine-tooth carbide tipped blade is recommended.
Siding is manufactured with a special edge coating which reduces moisture -related issues. If siding is ripped you must take
special care to prime, paint and seal all exposed wood fiber as described in the finishing section.
Climb cut the surface of the siding such that the rotation of the blade cuts downward on the primed or prefinished surface.
Do not miter edges.
