6X BEAM, 8X POST SDS
$126.56
Engineered for strength and reliability, the CCQ™ Column Cap is designed specifically to accommodate a 6-inch beam and an 8-inch post, making it a vital component for robust structural applications. Crafted from durable 7-gauge steel and finished with a protective Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, it stands up to various environmental conditions while ensuring a professional appearance. The inclusion of diamond holes allows for temporary fastening, facilitating easier installation, while certified welds provide assurance in its structural integrity and load capacity. Additionally, this cap is optimized for uplift loads, enhancing performance during earthquake or wind events, and the use of Strong-Drive® SDS screws offers a sleek, lower-profile alternative to traditional through bolts, ensuring a streamlined installation.
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.
