4'X8',9',10' BOARD & BATTEN PANEL
NAILING INSTRUCTIONS
• In braced wall assemblies, use minimum
6d hot-dip galvanized nails for 38 and
76 Series panels
(0.113 inch shank diameter,
0.270 head diameter) and minimum 8d
for 190 Series panels (0.131 inch shank
diameter, 0.290 head diameter) for 190
Series panels.
• Do not use electroplated fasteners.
• Refer to your local building code to verify
the minimum allowable fastener size.
• Penetrate structural framing or wood
structural panels and structural framing
a minimum of 1-1/2 inch.
For 76 and 190 Series panels:
• Single nailing for 76 and 190 series
meets wall bracing requirements.
• To meet the equivalent 3/8 inch shear
wall design values, double nailing
procedures must be used.
• It may be necessary to angle drive the
second nail in order to penetrate the
framing. Seal nails driven below the
surface.
• Shear values for panels applied directly
to studs shall be no greater than noted in
Table 1 of the ICC-ES Report ESR-1301
or Table 1 of APA PR-N 124.
• Not warranted for application on SIP and
ICF assemblies.
For 38 Series panels:
• Procedure is to double nail in order to
meet the wall bracing requirements and
5/16 inch shear wall design values.
CAUTION
• 38 and 76 Series panels must be
installed on 16 inch O.C. framing only.
When installing on 24 inch O.C. framing,
190 Series panels are required.
• Back of panel must not come in contact
with masonry/concrete foundation.
• Do not force siding into place.
• Maintain the illustrated 1/8 inch space
behind the joint to allow for expansion
while the panel equilibrates with the
local environment.
• LP
®
SmartSide
®
Panel siding must not
be attached by stapling.
• Install panels in light contact to the
edge of alignment bead.
(see Figure 1 and
Figure 2 far left column) Do not install over
alignment bead.
• Climb cut the surface of the siding
such that the rotation of the blade cuts
downward on the primed or pre-nished
surface.
• Where siding butts window trim, door
casings and masonry, etc. leave a 3/16
inch gap and seal.
