MATERIAL NOTIFICATION FOR 121E CORNERS
 Series
 121
 Material Type
 AP (Aluminum)
 E (EG Steel)
These corners are NOT galvanized for Rust Protection. The
material used has either an EG (electrogalvanized) or Galvanneal
coating for paint and stain bonding. The zinc layer provided by
these processes is not sufficient to prevent rusting by itself.
When using a latex based paint, the corners should be primed
first with an appropriate corrosion resistant primer to avoid flash
rusting. Simplicity Tool Corporation makes no express or implied
warranty against rust when using this or any other product.
122 SERIES CORNERS
The 122 Series corners are available in electro galvanized steel (E) or primed
aluminum (smooth (AP) or wood grain textured (WG)) as standard materials.
Constructed with a right angle flange, these corners come with nail holes on the
lip for bottom nailing, making these corners easier to replace if damaged. The
122 Series Corners are also available in copper or stainless steel (by special order
only) and available in a wide variety of lengths and flange widths to cover most
styles of wood siding. 122 Series Corners are designed primarily for wood
siding.

Junction Flashing
The Simplicity Tool Junction Flashing is manufactured for all types
of siding as a weather resistant barrier at the butt joint seam. This
precut Junction Flashing allows for fast and easy installation and the
¼” Slip Fit Positioning Lip also insures quick and accurate placement
every time. It is manufactured out of 0.016” primed aluminum and
coated on the inside for full protection to protect against corrosive
reaction with the siding. Simplicity Tool Junction Flashing is a full 6”
wide to provide the 3” coverage on each side of the butt joint seam
outlined by popular siding best practices. Sizes are precut and
packaged 50 pieces per box. They are also available in prefinished
colors.
Please specify Brown or White when ordering

140 Series Joint Covers
140 Series Joint Covers are intended for use with hardboard and cement siding.
The Joint Covers protect the butt joint where two siding planks meet and provide
an expansion joint to help prevent siding buckling. A wraparound lower lip hooks
the siding and requires one nail to hold it in place. 0.016” aluminum covers are
primed on the outside and ready to paint and coated for full protection on the
inside. They are manufactured with either a smooth or wood grained texture and
are available in lengths and return lip widths to fit all major brands of hardboard
and cement fiber siding, including most profiled 12” and 16” shapes (see additional
page for details). Face width is 13/16”.

Joint Covers
140 Series Retrofit Joint Covers are also available for use typically after siding
installation has been completed and the seams open up, or the siding was
installed with too large of a gap at the seam to be covered by the regular joint
covers. Retrofit joint covers do not have the rib on the back, so they are more
flexible and will need fastening to keep the part in place. These joint covers are
wider than the regular parts. Retrofit joint covers are not typically stocked, but are
made in a wide variety of styles, widths, finishes and lengths. Please contact the
factory with your particular application for help specifying the best solution.

OFF STUD JOINERS
The Off Stud Joiner is manufactured specifically for fiber cement siding that has a
square edge or angled drip edge. The 1-1/4” overlap saves additional installation
time and by not joining directly over the stud you can eliminate corner breakout.
Off Stud Joiners are manufactured using 24 gauge, G-90 galvanized steel, preprimed for easy painting. The joiners creates a solid backing behind the joint
producing a better caulk line and holds the bottom edge in line to provide a clean
shadow line.

These parts ARE galvanized for Rust Protection. We use G-90 (the
heaviest zinc coating available to us) galvanized steel, which is
then primed for paint adhesion. Despite these two coatings,
these parts are designed to be painted after application.
Premature rusting can occur if additional protection is not
applied. Simplicity Tool Corporation recommends appropriate
caution when applying this part to pre-painted siding.
Quick Clips
The Quick Clip, an improved version of the Aligning Clip,
offers even easier installation with no visible shelf
remaining after installation. The Quick Clips are available
for either square edge or angled drip edge siding. The
breakaway portion of the clip is removed with three or
four quick up and down bending motions. Once the
breakaway portion is removed, there is no visible shelf
remaining. Since no visible part remains, the Quick Clip is
ideal for Pre-Finished siding applications.

Aligning Clips
Aligning clips are designed for use with all makes of 5/16” square edge
fiber cement and hardboard siding that requires a 1-1/4” overlap. The
clips significantly reduce installation time, and effectively reduce the
number of workers required to install the siding resulting in overall job
cost savings. Each clip gauges the 1-1/4” set, while providing a shelf for
the next lap to rest on while nailing. Aligning Clips are manufactured
using G-90 galvanized steel, prime coated for easy painting. Once
installed and painted, the small portion of the clip that is left exposed is
virtually invisible. No part of the clip covers the exposed face of the
siding.

Installation Instructions
for 199, 259, 279, 289,
and 299 Series Corners
1.
Install theLap siding as per manufacturers’ recommendations. While installing, please be sure to
observe the following cautions:
a. Be sure to run the siding long enough at the
corners. The top of the planks should almost
meet at the corners. If the siding is installed
‘short’ at the corners, the siding corners may not
be long enough to adequately cover the siding at
the bottom.
See Figure 1.
Figure 1
b. Be sure that the bottom edge of two
courses line up. If not, one side or the
other will have a gap when the corner
is installed. See Figure 2.
Figure 2
2.
c. If you are bottom nailing the siding, do
not nail within 4” of the corner.
Starting with the bottom course, carefully slide the first corner up and under the second course.
Continue until the bottom wrap around lip is fully fitted to the bottom courses.
3.
Nail diagonally into the corner stud, using
a galvanized nail with a head of at least 3/16”,
and a length sufficient to penetrate the stud at
least 1”. See Figure 3.
Figure 3
4.
While driving the nail, pay attention to the vertical and horizontal alignment of the siding corner. By
drifting the nail left/right/up/down, it is fairly simple to ensure good alignment of the corner. Drive the nail so
that the corner is snug, but do not overdrive the nail, as the corner will become distorted and have to be
replaced. Do not use a power nailer.
5.
Repeat steps 2-4, working from the bottom up. Trim the last corner to fit, and nail on the sides (top corner
only).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
FOR
OFF STUD JOINERS
For Easier Installation of Fiber Cement Siding
The vertical joints of the planks shall occur
at the framing members or between the framing
members when an off stud joiner is placed on the
plank end. The off stud joiner is positioned so that
the bottom lip is resting on the adjacent solid course
of planks. The plank is then fastened to the framing.
The abutting plank is positioned and fastened into
place insuring that the lower edges of the two
planks align. The off stud joiner is located centrally
over the joint. Restrictions on the off stud joiner
locations are follows:
a)
All splices shall be located a
minimum of two stud cavities from
wall corner.
b)
Successive splices within the same
plank course shall be located no
closer than 48” from
one another.
c)
All splices shall be staggered at
minimum 2-foot intervals when
located in the same wall
cavity.
d)
Splices shall be at least one stud
cavity away from door openings.

1. Minimum one nail within 1/2” of the top of the
joint cover, centered between the siding courses so
as not to penetrate either siding. See Figure 1.

COURSE
ABOVE
2. This nail is usually placed so as to be
covered by the course above. Nail should
have minimum 1/8” head, and be of
sufficient length to penetrate the stud by
at least 1/2”. See Figure 2.
Figure 2
3. Optionally, additional nails may be added in the
mid to lower portion of the cover. Nail size and
placement should be as per above. See Figure 3.
OPTIONAL
NAILS
Figure 3
IMPORTANT: It is important to place the nails such
that they penetrate the center line of the joint
cover, between courses of siding below. Do not
nail into the siding being joined.The joint cover
must float relative to both courses of siding being
joined. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in early failure of the installation.
