The Simpson HHRC64 Hip-Ridge Face-Mount Connector is an engineered structural connector designed to attach hip beams to the end of a ridge beam with precision and consistency. Eliminating the guesswork from this common framing detail, the HHRC64 assigns a standard load capacity to the hip-ridge connection and allows the connector to be positioned higher or lower on the ridge beam so the hips are flush at the top. Manufactured in the United States, this connector is built to perform in solid sawn lumber applications where reliable, repeatable connections are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lumber sizes is the HHRC64 designed to work with?

The HHRC64 is designed for solid sawn lumber applications with a 6x ridge member and 4x hip members. It is not intended for engineered lumber or other non-solid-sawn applications.

Can the HHRC64 be adjusted so the hip beams sit flush at the top of the ridge beam?

Yes. The HHRC64 can be positioned higher or lower on the ridge beam, allowing you to adjust its placement so that the top faces of the hip beams align flush with the top of the ridge beam.

What are the key dimensions of the HHRC64?

The HHRC64 has two width dimensions: Width 1 is 5-3/8 in. and Width 2 is 3-5/8 in. It is constructed from 12-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish for corrosion resistance.

What advantage does the HHRC64 offer over a field-fabricated hip-to-ridge connection?

Unlike a field-fabricated connection, the HHRC64 assigns a standard load capacity to the hip-ridge connection, eliminating inconsistency in this common framing detail and providing a reliable, repeatable structural connection each time it is installed.
