9. When installed horizontally the top course of Architectural Wall Panels shall be face fastened using a #8 buglehead screw or #7 buglehead trim/finish screw through the applicable shim to maintain the rainscreen gap between the panel and wall. Fasteners must be installed at each wall stud (wood or steel) based on the required spacing in Table 2. A registered design professional shall specify an adequate length of fastener based upon the wall/framing substrate and required fastener design load.

7. Corrosion resistant fasteners such as stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized screws must be used to fasten siding to the wallframing. Aluminum fasteners, staples, clipped head or T-head nails, or fasteners not rated or designed for intended use shallNOT be used.8. For any gaps that require filling with a sealant, follow manufacturer's installation instructions.

1. These products shall be installed in accordance with the requirements of Nichiha' s Installation Instructions.2. This Product Evaluation Report (PER) does not address the capacity of the framing members, framing connections, structuraland non-structural sheathing connections, or overall wall load carrying capacity. These items are outside the scope of this PER and fall under the responsibility of the registered design professional. (Exception: Special cases where panels are installed overPEMB metal siding have been evaluated and are summarized in Figure 5 and Figure 6)3. Weather resistive barriers shall be used in accordance with IBC Section 1403.2 and IRC Section R703.2.4. All openings must have appropriate flashing to prevent moisture penetration.5. These products may only be installed on vertical walls and are not intended for use on roofing applications.6.

Notes:

1. The required fastener withdrawal capacity is based upon 18-inch deep panels and the corresponding clip/fastener spacing. The calculated value indicates the fastener withdrawal capacity required to ensure the full siding capacity is utilized. Any fastener to frame/sheathing combination that meets the required fastener withdrawal capacity, has a minimum head diameter of 0.375-in, and has a minimum shank diameter of 0.134-in may be used to anchor the clip system to the wall.

2. The required fastener withdrawal capacity may be reduced by the ratio of the Actual Design Pressure to the Allowable Design Pressure:
