8X BEAM, 8X POST SDS
$232.36
The CCQ™ Column Cap from Simpson Strong-Tie is expertly engineered to provide robust support for 8x beams and posts, making it an essential component for various construction applications. Crafted from 3-gauge steel and finished with a durable gray paint, this column cap not only delivers exceptional strength with certified welds but also features diamond holes for easy temporary fastening. The inclusion of Strong-Drive® SDS screws allows for a lower profile, making installation simpler and cleaner compared to standard through bolts. Designed to accommodate increased uplift loads in response to earthquake or wind conditions, this cap ensures reliability and safety in challenging environments, making it a valuable addition to any builder’s toolkit.
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.
