Panel Preparation
Panels should be separated and exposed to application environment for 24 hours, The 8' x 12' panels should be pre-conditioned by sprinkling
with water and stocked wet side up overnight.
Framing Instructions
For sidewall sheathing, siding, ceilings, soffits, barricades, etc., provide support for all edges and throughout the panel field with framing not to
exceed 16" on center with 1/2" 440 and up to 24" o. c. for 5/8" 440. Panels should be applied vertically to the framing with blocking or plates at
the top and bottom of the panel. Otherwise, install cross blocking at horizontal points to provide a solid nailing base.
Panel Application
Apply 440 panels directly to the proper framing. Leave 3/16" - space
at all panel side joints and leave 1/4" space at all panel end joints.
Leave nails back 1/4" from all edges. For interior application, the
spacing between panels can be somewhat reduced. Nail panel 4"-
6"on center along panel edges and 10"- 12" on center at intermediate
supports. Nail from field center out to edges. Use 6d nails for 1/2"
440 and 8d nails for 5/8" 440.
For exterior application use weather resistant nails and apply wood or
metal to battens over each joint. |

Sidewall Nailable Sheathing
For direct application of wood and composition shingles, use ring drive nails of sufficient length to penetrate entirely through 440 board.
Follow recommendations for shingle or siding manufacturers in all respects.
Panel Finish
Joints can be covered with most any kind of wood, metal or vinyl moldings. Most any type of finish may be applied to either side of the panel
depending on desired texture.
Carpet Board Underlayment Over Wood Sub-Floor
Panel should be separated and exposed to application environment for 24 hours. Apply panels 4' x 4' for easy handling. Leave 3/16" space
around each 4' x 4' panel. Keep panels 3/8" away from all walls and partitions. Use proper length underlayment ring drive nails to penetrate
subflooring 1" minimum. Nail panel edges 4"- 6" on center and 8"- 10" on center throughout panel field. Keep nails back 1/4" from all edges of
panel. For adhesive application which reduces sound transmission, see Bulletin H- 8-252-6.
