The Simpson HHRC2-2 Hip-Ridge Face-Mount Connector is an engineered structural connector designed to attach hip beams to the end of a ridge beam. By providing a standardized, repeatable connection at this critical roof framing junction, the HHRC2-2 eliminates the inconsistency inherent in this common detail and assigns a defined load capacity to the joint. The connector can be positioned higher or lower on the ridge beam, allowing hip members to sit flush at the top - delivering both structural integrity and clean framing results. Manufactured in the United States from 12-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish, this face-mount connector is built for durability in residential and light commercial roof framing applications involving solid sawn lumber.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lumber configuration is the HHRC2-2 designed to work with?

The HHRC2-2 is designed for solid sawn lumber applications. It accommodates a ridge member size of (2) 2x and a hip member size of (2) 2x, making it specifically suited for double-member hip-to-ridge beam connections.

Can the connector be adjusted to keep hip members flush with the top of the ridge beam?

Yes. The HHRC2-2 can be positioned higher or lower on the ridge beam, which allows the hip members to sit flush at the top of the ridge. This adjustability supports both structural performance and clean framing results.

What material and finish is the HHRC2-2 made from?

The HHRC2-2 is constructed from 12-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish. The G90 galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making the connector suitable for residential and light commercial roof framing applications.

What are the width dimensions of the HHRC2-2?

The HHRC2-2 has a Width 1 of 3-1/8 in. and a Width 2 of 3-1/8 in., reflecting its design for symmetrical double-member hip and ridge beam connections.
