Simpson Strong-Tie now offers several new sizes of its HHRC heavy hip-ridge connectors to accommodate additional hip- and ridge-beam combinations. The new 12-gauge HHRC can be sloped downward to a maximum of 35 degrees for hips that accommodate a 45-degree roof slope. The new and existing hip-ridge connectors can be used with structural composite lumber, glulam and solid sawn lumber. When installed with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD10 Connector screws (provided), the heavy HHRCs provide higher allowable loads than HRCs that are installed with nails. An open-back ridge connection allows elevation adjustment, and a field-adjustable hip slope facilitates easier installation.
