Product Description
The Simpson CC66HDG CC Hot-Dip Galvanized Column Cap for 6x Beam, 6x Post by Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to provide strong, reliable 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, helping to distribute the load from the beam and provide critical support for the connection. Built from 7-gauge steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this column cap is designed to perform in demanding exterior and treated-wood applications where corrosion resistance is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What post and beam sizes is the CC66HDG designed to fit?
- The CC66HDG is designed for a nominal 6x beam width and a nominal 6x post size, making it the correct column cap for standard 6x6 post and 6x beam connections in wood construction.
- Why is the hot-dip galvanized finish important for this column cap?
- Hot-dip galvanization (HDG) provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance compared to standard zinc plating, making the CC66HDG well suited for exterior applications and use with pressure-treated lumber where moisture and chemical exposure can accelerate corrosion.
- How is the CC66HDG installed, and what fasteners are required?
- The CC66HDG is installed using (6) 5/8-in. diameter HDG bolts. The bolt spacing is designed to meet NDS code requirements, and diamond holes are included to allow for temporary fastening during installation before final bolting.
- What makes the CC66HDG suitable for use in high-wind or seismic zones?
- The CC66HDG features certified welds and uplift loads that have been increased specifically to address earthquake and wind loading demands, providing enhanced structural performance in areas subject to these forces.
