It sits at the midpoint of the hip rafters, tying the tubing that runs from the crown fittings down to the corner and side tee fittings along the perimeter — a critical connection on tents this large, where the hip rafters are carrying significant load across a long span.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits standard West Coast style frames from most major manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Hip Joint Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a 40' wide frame tent, the hip rafters run a long way from peak to perimeter, and without a properly sized midpoint connection, that span can flex or misalign under load. This hip joint gives the rafter run a secure intermediate connection point, keeping the whole hip line straight and helping distribute weight evenly instead of concentrating stress at either end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"bt-specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.25\" Schedule 40 steel pipe, zinc-plated finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.656\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInside Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.38\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWall Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.14\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTensile Strength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45,000 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection Points\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 (midpoint connection along the hip rafters)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.0 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40' wide West Coast style Classic Frame tent systems\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShipping Method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShips ground\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1C-51205\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes from Our Install Crews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocate the true midpoint of the hip rafter run before installing this joint — on a 40' span, even a small placement error compounds visibly by the time you reach the corner fitting. Pin all six connections and sight down the hip line before moving to the next joint, so any misalignment gets caught early rather than at final tensioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Beyond Tent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45171203473608,"sku":"1C-51205","price":40.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/3642\/9512\/files\/West_Coast_Frame_Tent_6-Way_Hip_Joint_Fitting.jpg?v=1790958731","url":"https:\/\/beyondtent.com\/products\/west-coast-frame-tent-6-way-hip-joint-fitting","provider":"Beyond Tent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
