• After preparing the RigidMount
™
Split
Block as detailed above, remove the
loose lower half of the mount
(set this
aside until later).
• Feed the pipe or other application
through the rectangular ange hole.
• For remodel applications it may be
necessary to cut the bottom of the
placement ange to slip this over certain
items.
• Install the RigidMount
™
Split Block as you
would the rest of the mounts.
(see pg. 6)
• Then, install the lower half of the Split
Block by applying a small bead of color
matching sealant to the joint as shown
below.
• Next, slide the bottom half of the block
back up until the joint is tight.
• No fasteners should be needed to secure
lower half of Split Block.
TRIM & FASCIA 190, 440, 540 & 2000 SERIES
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)
