The Simpson HHRC4/1.81 Hip-Ridge Face-Mount Connector is engineered to securely attach hip beams to the end of a ridge beam, eliminating the inconsistency common to this structural detail while establishing a reliable, standard load capacity. Designed for use with Structural Composite Lumber and Solid Sawn Lumber, this face-mount connector features a zinc galvanized G90 finish for corrosion resistance and long-term durability. The HHRC can be positioned higher or lower on the ridge beam, allowing hip beams to sit flush at the top - making it an essential solution for precise, code-compliant roof framing connections.
