14 ________________ ________________ _ _ _____________________________ _____________________________ Nor Nor theast theast ________________ ________________ _ _ _____________________________ _____________________________ In a northeast hip set, you will find a short jack starting at the corner and running up the hip ridge. This hip jack stops at a sub-girder. All end jack bottom chords run to the hip girder, allowing for better attachment of the drywall on the ceiling. Hip cats must be field cut and installed between the hip trusses. Works well with dual-pitched hip systems. ________________ ________________ _ _ ______________________________ ______________________________ T T er er minal minal ________________ ________________ _ _ ______________________________ ______________________________ Terminal hip sets are used in spans up to about 30' to 32'. A ridge rafter runs from the corner up to the peak of the hip, and a sub-girder, located about half way to the peak, carries the side jack bottom chords while their top chords run up to the ridge rafter. ________________ ________________ _ _ ________________________ ________________________ Standar Standar d T d T er er minal minal ________________ ________________ _ _ _______________________ _______________________ The standard terminal hip set is used for very small spans, i.e. up to about 18' to 20'. The two hip jacks running up the corners and the center end jack all connect at the peak, which can make the peak connection difficult on longer spans.
