5-1/8″ BEAM, 4X POST SDS
$153.16
Engineered for strength and durability, the CCQ™ Column Cap by Simpson Strong-Tie is a vital component designed to support 5-1/8 inch beams paired with 4x posts. Constructed from robust 3-gauge steel, it is finished with a gray paint that enhances its resilience in a variety of environments. The design includes diamond holes for temporary fastening and is compatible with Strong-Drive® SDS screws, minimizing the profile compared to traditional through bolts while ensuring certified welds for reliable strength under substantial uplift loads, particularly in scenarios involving earthquake or wind conditions. This column cap not only provides dependable structural support but also meets the rigorous demands of modern construction practices.
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.
