NICHIHA INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR SIX-FOOT HORIZONTAL PANELS
18
STRUCTURAL INSULATING PANELS (SIP)
In general, the steps mirror those for stud wall
applications. However, double fastening per
each panel clip (minimum of 4 screws per clip)
is required as there are fewer or no studs to
secure the system.
There must be about 2.5 clips per six-foot
panel edge, with vertical joints spanned by
Panel Clips and the Joint Tab Attachment
seated in and fastened to the Panel Clip at
the lower right corner of each panel.
PRE-ENGINEERED METAL BUILDINGS
(PEMB)
Refer again to general requirements
concerning PEMB installations in the Framing
and Sheathing Requirements section.
With R-Panels installed reversed and ribs
spaced no more than 12” o.c., install
AWP in the same manner as with stud wall
applications but with Panel Clips fastened to
each rib they reach.
There must be about 2.5 clips per six-foot
panel edge, with vertical joints spanned by
Panel Clips and the Joint Tab Attachment
seated in and fastened to the panel clip at the
lower right corner of each panel.
