Product Description
Simpson Strong-Tie CCO5 1/4HDG 5-1/8" Beam Column Cap is a heavy-duty, hot-dip galvanized column cap engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections on top of steel columns and posts. Its legless design allows for field-welded attachment, while the extended seat provides enhanced 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 bearing surface distributes load from the beam beyond each side of the column for added support
- 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
- Constructed from 7-gauge steel for exceptional strength and durability
- Hot-dip galvanized finish provides superior corrosion resistance for demanding environments

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of columns is the CCO5 1/4HDG designed to attach to?
- The CCO5 1/4HDG features a legless design that allows it to be field-welded directly to steel columns and posts, and it may also be ordered for field welding to pipe or other column types, with welding performed by the designer.
- How does the seat design of this column cap benefit the connection?
- The seat of the CCO column cap extends beyond each side of the column, providing additional surface area for bearing. This extended seat helps distribute the load from the beam more evenly and provides greater support at the connection point.
- Why is the hot-dip galvanized finish important for this product?
- The hot-dip galvanized finish on the CCO5 1/4HDG provides a robust layer of corrosion resistance, making it well suited for outdoor, exposed, or high-moisture environments where long-term durability is critical.
- Does the CCO5 1/4HDG meet code requirements for bolt spacing?
- Yes. The bolt spacing on the CCO5 1/4HDG is designed to meet NDS code requirements to ensure optimal structural performance. Per the 2018 NDS (section 12.1.3.2), bolt holes must be a minimum of 1/32" to a maximum of 1/16" larger than the bolt diameter, and holes should be drilled from one side all the way through the beam to maintain proper tolerances.
