Huber Engineered Woods requires panel edge support for
7/16" ZIP System

sheathing installed on roof supports
spaced more than 16" on center. Panel Edge support might
be blocking, tongue-and-groove edges or panel edge clips
(H-clips).
When taping over H-clips, it is important to make sure that the
tape is centered and adequate pressure is applied on all sides
of the clip to ensure a proper seal. It should be noted that
the use of edge support (H-clips, blocking, tongue-and-groove
edges, etc.) does not increase the maximum allowable load on a
roof for a given truss or rafter spacing.
