ZIP System"' Sheathing Installation on Roofs
Overview: ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing is composed of ZIP System panels and ZIP System seam sealing tape. ZIP System, Root & Wall Sheathing
panels should be fully installed before the seam sealing tape is applied In general the ZIP System root sheathing panels should be installed from the lowest point
on the roof to the highest It is at the discretion of the installer whether to apply tape from the lop down or from the bottom up. However, working Imm the highest
sections of the roof and working down will min mize root Imflx on the tape. The following Installaton steps are presented as guidelines and a general culline of
the inslallalion process, These are manufacturer installation recommendations —please visit zipsystem com for a library of flashing and installation detads. You are
frilly and solely responsible for all safety requirements. Good construction and safely practices should be followed at all times.
Step 1.
Ensure that the panel surface is dry and dean of any nails, sawdust, or
other debits or protrusions prior to installing or walking an the panels.
After ensuring compliance with all OSHA and local code safety
guidelines, Install ZIP System sheathing panels with the moisture
barrier surface lacing outside The long edge (8') should be oriented
perpendicular to the framing members, and panels should be installed
with the 4' edge seams staggered a minimum of 24",
1y8'spacilg between square edges of all a*cem panels is recommended,
in accordance with industry standards for wood Shealhng. (Tongue &
Groove panels are designed to self -space and do not require manual
spacing on the 8 edges,)
Step 2.
Ensure that ZIP System panels span at least three fmmng members and
a framing member Supports the entire 4' edge of the panels.
Fasten the ZIP System Roof & Wall sheathing panel to the framing
members with code approved fasteners spaced at the appropriate
edge and intermediate spacing. It is the responsibility of the general
contractor to verify proper fastener type and spacing pear to instagation.
Apply the fasteners 316" from the panel ends and comers.
An ideal Installation would be where fastener heads are flush with the
panel surface However, due to variations in materials and limitations
on equipment, this may be difficult to achieve in some situations it
Is not required to tape over overdriven fasteners unless the fastener
head creates a hole through the entire panel thickness. Please see
the technical tip, `Overdriven Fasteners in ZIP System Roof and Wall
Sheathing' for more information.
Step 7.
Install temporary toe boards as necessary when applying the ZIP System
sheathing panels up the slope of the roof planes.

ZIP System'" Tape Installation -Roof Panel Seams
Apply ZIP 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 seems of ZIP System panels. Ensure that the panel surfaces are dry and Ime of any nails. sawdust and other debris, or protrusions Avoid stepping
on tape in high temperature environments. ZIP System tape Is a contact tape that requires pressure for an adequate seal.
Step 1
- Apply ZIP System tape in every vertical and Horizontal panel seam. It is
at the discretion of the installer whether to apply tape from the lop down
or from the bottom up. However, working from the highest sections of
l the roof and working down will m.nimize loot traffic on the tape.
Ensure that the tape is centered over the seam within +r. NZ to provide
adequate coverage and to ensure that wrinkles in the tape are minimized.
Ensure that tape lengths are continuous across the 6' horizontal edge
of the panels. It splices are unavoidable, create an overlapping splice
of at least 3'. App:y moderate pressure onto the surface of the tape to
ensure a secure bond between the panel and the tape
Use ZIP System tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape
and smooth out any wrinkles.
- Take special rare to remove any voids and: or trapped air at splice
areas and T-Joints.
Step 2.
For valley areas of Imm ng, we recommend you use 6- wide ZIP System
tape This tape is wader than panel seam tape and is designed to give you
optimal protection in valley areas.
Starting from the bottom and working your way up. apply one continuous
piece of 6- tape so that the center of the tape is over the valey seam.
- Use the tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape to ensure
proper contact with the panel and to eliminate any wrinkles that might
have occurred In the tape. Take special care to seat tape completely
into the valley.
Note:
It is Important to pay extra attention to valley taping as water is
directed toward the valleys during rain events.
Sell -adhering ice and water barriers may be required by code. ZIP
System tape Is not considered a replacement for self -adhering Ice
and water barriers. Therefore, when sell -adhering Ice and water
barriers are required, they should be Installed In addition to ZIP
System tape.

overlapping the pieces on the valley seam by at least 1'.
Starting from the bottom, install the first piece of tape overlapping the
valley seam by at least 1'.
Use the tape gun or tape roller to apply pressure to the tape to ensure
proper contact with the panel and to eliminate any wrnkles that might
have occurred in the tape.
Apply the second piece of tape, overlapping the first piece in the valley
seam by 1'.
Repeal use of the tape gun or roller to make sure the tape is adequately
adhered and lightly pressed into the valley seam
Note:
. It Is Important to pay extra attention to valley taping as water Is
directed toward the valleys during rain events.
- Self -adhering ice and water barriers may be required by code. ZIP
System tape Is not considered a replacement for self -adhering Ice
and water barriers. Therefore, when self -adhering lee and water
barriers are required, they should be Installed in addition to ZIP
System tape.
Step 4
To provide temporary weather protection to motMall intersections
of dormers or other wood -sheathed proteolions, apply 2- of the tape
width up the vertical projection from where it intersects with the roof
The remaining tape width can be adhered to the ZIP System roof
sheathing panels.
1 - Use the tape goner tape roller to apply pessure to the tape and smooth
out any wrinkles
Step S.
- install ZIP System tape over hips and ridges by centering the tape over
1 the peak seam. Apply tape in sufficient length to completely extend the
length of the hip or ridge
Starting from the lowest point of the hip and working up. press tape into
place keeping tape centered over the hip. Apply moderate pressure
onto the surface of the tape to ensure a secure bond between the panel
and the tape
Cut ridge tape as required for ventilation prior to install ng ridge vent.
