Product Description
The Simpson CC76 Column Cap is engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in wood frame construction. Designed specifically for a 6-3/4 in. beam width and a nominal 6x post, the CC76 features a generously proportioned seat that extends beyond each side of the column, providing additional bearing surface area that distributes load from the beam evenly across the connection point. Built from heavy-duty 3-gauge steel and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, this column cap is suited for demanding structural environments, including post-and-beam assemblies in seismic zones and high-wind regions where elevated uplift resistance is required.
Key Features
- Certified welds - provide verified strength and load confidence, giving builders and inspectors assurance in the integrity of the connection.
- Increased uplift load capacity - engineered for earthquake and high-wind loading conditions, making this cap a reliable choice for structures in seismic or storm-prone areas.
- NDS-compliant bolt spacing - bolt layout meets National Design Specification code requirements, helping ensure the connection performs optimally and passes inspection.
- Diamond holes for temporary fastening - allow the cap to be positioned and held in place during installation before final bolting, streamlining the assembly process.
- Extended seat design - bearing surface reaches beyond each side of the column to distribute beam loads more evenly, improving the structural performance of the connection.
- 3-gauge steel construction - heavy-gauge material provides the rigidity and load-handling capacity required for heavy timber framing applications.
- Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - factory-applied coating helps protect the steel and provides a consistent, professional appearance in exposed or semi-exposed framing.
Why This Product
- Built for high-load structural connections - the combination of 3-gauge steel, certified welds, and an extended bearing seat makes the CC76 a serious solution for post-and-beam assemblies where connection strength and load distribution are critical.
- Engineered for seismic and wind-load environments - with uplift loads specifically increased to address earthquake and wind forces, this column cap is a dependable choice when code compliance for lateral and uplift resistance is non-negotiable.
- Designed to simplify installation - diamond holes allow temporary fastening to hold the cap in position before final bolting with six 3/4 in. diameter bolts, reducing the chance of misalignment and keeping the installation process efficient.
- Code-ready bolt spacing out of the box - NDS-compliant bolt spacing is built into the design, so contractors working on permitted projects can proceed with confidence that the connection geometry meets recognized structural standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What beam width and post size is the CC76 designed to fit?
- The CC76 is designed for use with a 6-3/4 in. beam width and a nominal 6x post size, making it suitable for heavy timber framing applications requiring a secure column-to-beam connection.
- What fasteners are required to install the CC76?
- The CC76 is installed with six 3/4 in. diameter bolts. The bolt spacing is designed to meet National Design Specification (NDS) code requirements for optimal structural performance.
- What material and finish is the CC76 made from?
- The CC76 is fabricated from heavy-duty 3-gauge steel and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, providing durability in demanding structural environments.
- Is the CC76 suitable for use in high-wind or earthquake-prone areas?
- Yes. The CC76 features certified welds and increased uplift load capacity, making it appropriate for structural connections in areas subject to earthquake or high-wind loading conditions. The extended bearing seat also helps distribute beam load evenly, further supporting connection integrity under these demands.
