5-1/8″ BEAM, 8X POST SDS
$187.35
Built for structural integrity and safety, this column cap from Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to accommodate a beam width of 5-1/8 inches and an 8x nominal post size. Crafted from robust 3-gauge steel, it features certified welds that ensure strength and reliability under uplift loads, making it particularly suited for applications subject to earthquake or wind forces. The innovative design includes diamond holes for temporary fastening and utilizes Strong-Drive® SDS screws, which offer a lower profile than traditional through bolts, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and functionality. Finished in a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, this product not only meets demanding construction standards but also ensures long-lasting durability in various environments.
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.
