Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CCOQ3-SDS2.5 is a 3-1/4" Beam Column Cap engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections on top of steel columns. Featuring a legless design, this column cap is intended for field-welded attachment to steel columns and posts, offering a streamlined, low-profile installation. The extended seat provides additional bearing surface beyond each side of the column, effectively distributing beam loads across the connection for enhanced structural support. Paired with Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, the CCOQ3-SDS2.5 delivers fast installation while engaging a greater net section area of the column than standard bolt attachments.
