Simpson Strong-Tie’s newest metal connector helps builders make stronger roofs in seismic and high-wind areas. The recently introduced HHRC heavy hip-ridge connector reinforces the connection between large engineered or timber hip rafters and structural ridge beams. The connector is adjustable to a maximum hip slope of 35°, so it works with up to a 12-in-12 (45°) roof pitch. The new connector can be used with all common ridge materials, including structural composite lumber (e.g., LVL, Parallam), glulam, and solid-sawn lumber. The HHRC connector includes Simpson’s SD10 connector screws for fastening.
