Engineered Wood & Structural Composite Lumber Connectors
5"
The HRC series are field slopeable
connectors that attach hip roof beams to
the end of a ridge beam. The HRC may be
sloped downward a maximum of 45°.
MATERIAL: HRC1.81—16 gauge;
HRC44—14 gaugel; HHRC—12 gauge
FINISH: Galvanized
INSTALLATION:
• Use all specified fasteners.
See General Notes.
• On end of ridge—use optional
diamond holes on HRC1.81 to secure
the HRC. Bend face flanges on
HRC1.81 back flush with ridge,
and complete nailing.
• HRC1.81 on face of ridge—adjust
to correct height and install nails.
• Double bevel-cut hip members to
achieve full bearing capacity.

1.Factored resistances shown are for each hip. Total resistance
carried by the connector is double this number.
2.Factored uplift resistances include a 15% increase for
earthquake or wind loading; no further increase allowed;
reduce where other loads govern.

1.Factored resistances shown are per hip, the total load carried by the connector is double this number. Load must be equally distributed to both hips.
2.Factored uplift resistances have been increased 15% for wind or earthquake loading; no further increase is allowed. Reduce where other load durations govern.
3.Factored resistances shown are applicable for roof slopes up to and including 45° (12:12).
4.Do not attach HHRC to columns or studs.
5.SCREWS: SD#10x2½” (SD10212) = 0.161" dia. x 2½" long
