4X BEAM, 4X POST SDS RETAIL
$128.79
Engineered for strength and reliability, this column cap from Simpson Strong-Tie is specifically designed to accommodate 4x beams and posts, enhancing structural integrity in construction applications. Crafted from robust 7-gauge steel and finished with a durable gray paint, it is built to withstand increased uplift loads, making it suitable for areas prone to earthquake or wind loading. The inclusion of certified welds ensures confidence in its strength under varying loads, while the SDS screws allow for a streamlined installation process, presenting a lower profile compared to standard through bolts. Additionally, diamond holes provide a convenient option for temporary fastening, underscoring the thoughtful design that prioritizes both safety and functionality.
Description
The CCQ is designed to provide strong column-beam connections in wood construction. The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond each side of the column. The extended bearing surface helps distribute the load from the beam and provide support for the connection. The CCQ uses Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for fast installation and to attach to a greater net section area of the column than a bolt attachment normally entails.
