application instructions FOUNDATIONS 76 SERIES PRIMED LAP SIDING ARCHITECTURAL COLLECTION 76 SERIES PRIMED COLONIAL AND 120 SERIES PRIMED SELF-ALIGNING LAP SIDING General • A t the time of manufacture, siding meets or exceeds the performance standards set forth in Composite Panel Association ANSI 135.6 and has achieved code recognition under Legacy National Evaluation Report NER-626 and CCMC 12353. For copies of these reports, call LP Customer Support at 1-800-648-6893. • Minimum 6 in.
PAGE 2
Application instructions (cont.) Flashing, Windows, Doors & Openings • All openings must be properly sealed or flashed in a manner that prevents moisture intrusion or buildup. Several examples that accomplish this are shown on the following pages. Kick-Out Flashing • Install kick-out flashing to direct the water into the gutter • Install step flashing with minimum 4 in. upper leg • Properly integrate flashing with the secondary water-resistive barrier.
PAGE 3
• Shim siding at studs, as needed, to avoid drawing siding against uneven walls. DO NOT OVERDRIVE NAILS. Nail head should seat firmly to face of siding but not be overdriven to distort the siding surface. • V ertical butt joints must fall on studs . Nails should be placed at all stud locations and positioned 3/8" from the vertical edges on each side of the butt joint. Stagger butt joints on subsequent courses. • Leave a 3/16 in. gap. All joints must be caulked with sealant.

spaced a maximum of 4 in. O.C. and every 6th fastener penetrating 1-1/2 in. into a stud. Insulated Sheathings LP SmartSide Sidings may be installed over low-compression rigid foam or exterior gypsum. The following precautions must be followed: • A dequate bracing of the wall in accordance with the International Codes or other ruling building code is required. • F or rigid foam sheathing up to 1 in.
