The Simpson Hip-Ridge Face-Mount Connector is a structural framing connector engineered to attach hip beams to the end of a ridge beam, bringing consistency and engineered reliability to one of the most common roof framing details. By establishing a standard connection at the hip-to-ridge junction, this connector gives builders and structural engineers a repeatable, code-supportable solution that removes the guesswork from field framing. Vertical adjustability during installation allows hip tops to sit flush with the ridge beam, keeping the framing clean and aligned without improvised workarounds.

Key Features

• Face-mount hip-to-ridge connection - attaches hip beams directly to the end of a ridge beam, creating a secure, engineered joint that replaces inconsistent field-built solutions
• Adjustable vertical positioning - can be placed higher or lower on the ridge beam during installation so hip tops remain flush with the ridge, eliminating common alignment headaches on the job site
• Designed for 6x ridge and 6x hip members in solid sawn lumber - matched to specific member sizes so there is no guessing about compatibility; the connection is correctly sized from the start
• 12-gauge steel construction with Zinc Galvanized G90 finish - provides the structural integrity and corrosion resistance expected in professional roof framing applications
• Assigns a standard load capacity to the hip-ridge detail - gives engineers and inspectors a verifiable, documented connection rather than a field-improvised one, supporting plan review and inspection
• Approved for solid sawn lumber applications - purpose-built for this material type, ensuring the connector performs as intended within its specified application scope

Why This Product

• Engineered consistency where it is needed most - the hip-to-ridge junction is a detail that has historically relied on improvised framing; this connector standardizes that connection, giving every project a reliable, repeatable outcome
• Field-friendly adjustability - the ability to shift the connector up or down on the ridge beam means framers can achieve flush hip tops without cutting, shimming, or compromising the structural connection
• Purpose-matched sizing for 6x framing - rather than adapting a general-purpose connector, this product is specifically sized for 6x ridge and 6x hip members, reducing risk of misapplication on projects calling for these member sizes
• A Simpson product built to professional standards - Simpson is a recognized name in structural connectors, and this face-mount hip-ridge connector reflects that commitment to documented, load-rated performance for roof framing systems
