Product Description
Simpson 3-1/4" Beam Column Cap Hot Dip Galvanized CCO3 1/4HDG by Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections on top of steel columns. The legless design allows for field-welded attachment to steel columns and posts, while the extended seat provides additional bearing surface area beyond each side of the column to effectively distribute beam loads and reinforce the connection.
Key Features
- Legless design enables field-welded attachment directly to steel columns and posts
- Extended seat provides additional bearing surface area beyond each side of the column for improved load distribution
- Uplift loads increased for earthquake or wind loading
- Bolt spacing meets NDS code requirements to ensure optimal performance
- Diamond holes provide temporary fastening during installation
- Hot-Dip Galvanized finish for enhanced corrosion resistance in demanding environments
- Constructed from 7 gauge material for robust structural integrity

Installation
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
- Weld by designer
- Bolt holes shall be a minimum of 1/32" to a maximum of 1/16" larger than the bolt diameter (per 2018 NDS, section 12.1.3.2); bolt holes should be drilled from one side all the way through the beam to maintain hole tolerances
- Contact engineered wood manufacturers for connections that are not through the wide face
Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of columns is the CCO3 1/4HDG designed to attach to?
- The CCO3 1/4HDG is designed for field-welded attachment to steel columns and posts. Its legless design makes it specifically suited for welded connections, and it may also be ordered for field welding to pipe or other columns, with welding specified by the designer.
- Why does the seat of the CCO column cap extend beyond the sides of the column?
- The extended seat is engineered to provide additional bearing surface area that goes beyond each side of the column. This broader footprint helps distribute the load transferred from the beam more effectively, improving the overall strength and stability of the connection.
- Is the CCO3 1/4HDG suitable for high-wind or seismic applications?
- Yes. The CCO3 1/4HDG features increased uplift load capacity specifically to address the demands of earthquake and wind loading conditions, making it appropriate for use in regions with elevated seismic or wind design requirements.
- What finish does the CCO3 1/4HDG have, and why does it matter?
- The CCO3 1/4HDG features a Hot-Dip Galvanized finish, which provides a thick, durable zinc coating that significantly enhances resistance to corrosion. This makes it well-suited for exposed or moisture-prone environments where long-term performance is critical.
