RIGIDMOUNT™

Ensure the penetration is sealed and/or

ashed properly by integrating it into the

weather-resistive barrier. RigidMount

™

trim

should extend beyond the face of the siding.

Watch our RigidMount

™

Installation Video.

APPLICATION

• Start by preparing for the application

needed. Some cutting maybe necessary

for tment of your specic situation.

• Cuts should always be re-sealed with

touch up paint.

• A jigsaw works best for cutting, be sure

to cut from the back to keep the nished

surface intact.

• Set the mount into position and mark the

weather resistive barrier by using the

nail holes (about 1/2" above the built in

ashing) and the outside edges of the

ange.

• Remove the mount and slit the weather

resistive barrier horizontally (slightly

wider than the top ange across those

marks) creating a ap in the weather

resistive barrier.

• Next install the RigidMount

™

by slipping

the top of the nailing ange under the

weather resistive barrier ap.

• Set the mount at the correct elevation,

level and then fasten the RigidMount

™

the wall lling every hole in nail ange.

• Hand driven galvanized roong nails are

recommended for fastening, such as

1-3/4" Maze STORMGUARD

• Place the adhesive ashing tape over the

top of the RigidMount

™

ange making

sure to cover nailing holes.

• Fold the ap down and seal the slit in the

weather resistive barrier with compatible

building tape.

• This single fashion installation helps

shed bulk water out and away from the

structure.

• Install siding around the mount and

leave the proper spacing between the

RigidMount placement ange and the

siding.

(Min. 3/16")

• Note that the top course of siding should

be cut 3/8" above the built in ashing as

measured from the face of the siding.

• Make sure to seal cut edges of siding

with provided touch-up paint. This area

should be left uncaulked.

• Finish by applying sealant, starting

approximately 3/4" in from the top

corner and then working your way out,

down the side, and across the bottom.

• Also seal the space between the wall

penetrating material and the RigidMount

™

cut out.

• DAP

Spec Line 920 sealant which

meets ASTM-C92

0 Specication is

recommended.

INSTALLATION

• If framing around an existing column, be sure to use pressure

treated lumber in all locations that may be touching concrete,

masonry or decking. Provide adequate framing support for the

trim to be properly fastened. (See diagram 11a)

• Be sure to use proper ashing with a minimum 4 inch upper leg.

A secondary water-resistive barrier is recommended as well.

• Maintain a 3/8 inch space, and do not caulk, between trim and

ashing. (See diagram 11b)

• Maintain a minimum 1 inch clearance between LP SmartSide

products and any surface where water might collect.

(See diagram 11b)

• Fasten all trim over 11 inches wide a maximum of every 6

inches o.c. around the perimeter and every 12 inches o.c.

along intermediate supports. For trim under 11 inches wide,

fastener placement and quantity must be consistent with LP®

SmartSide® Trim and Fascia Application Instructions.

(See diagram 11b)

• Be sure to prime and paint all expose substrate surfaces and cuts.

• TRIM MUST NOT BE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH MASONRY,

CONCRETE, BRICK, STONE, STUCCO OR MORTAR.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED)

• Trim mounting blocks should extend beyond the face of the siding.

• Prime and paint all cut ends, edges and holes.

On-site assembled:

• Use metal Z-ashing with a minimum 4 inch upper leg over the top side of trim mounting block. Leave a minimum 3/8 inch

space above Z-ashing and do not caulk. (See diagram 11d)

• Properly integrate the Z-ashing with the housewrap. (See diagram 11c)

• Apply fasteners meeting the specications in this document.

Pre-assembled:

• Properly integrate the built-in placement ange and ashing with the housewrap. (See diagram 11c)

• Fasten the built-in-placement ange to the framing meeting the pre-assembled trim mounting block manufacturer’s

instructions.

• When installing pre-assembled trim mounting blocks, leave proper spacing at the two sides and bottom between the

built-in-placement ange and the siding (minimum 3/16 inch). Seal these spaces with sealant. (See diagram 11d)

• Seal the space between the wall-penetrating material or xture and the mounting block cut-out. (See diagram 11d)
