Connected sums of $Z$-knotted triangulations

An embedded graph is called $z$-knotted if it contains the unique zigzag (up to reversing). We consider $z$-knotted triangulations, i.e. $z$-knotted embedded graphs whose faces are triangles, and describe all cases when the connected sum of two $z$-knotted triangulations is $z$-knotted.
