Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CCQ106SDS2.5 is a 10 x 6 Column Cap engineered to deliver a high-capacity connection for column-beam combinations. This connector uses Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws to provide faster installation while maintaining a greater net section area of the column compared to traditional bolt fastening methods. The SDS screws yield a lower profile than standard through bolts, making this cap ideal for applications where clean aesthetics and structural integrity are both priorities. Finished in a protective Gray Paint coating for added corrosion resistance, the CCQ106SDS2.5 is manufactured in the United States and built to meet the demands of heavy structural loading - including elevated uplift loads designed for earthquake and wind loading conditions.
Key Features
- Low-Profile Fastening: The SDS screws provide a lower profile than standard through bolts, resulting in a cleaner, more streamlined installation.
- High-Capacity Column-Beam Connection: Engineered specifically for demanding column-beam combinations where load transfer and structural integrity are critical.
- Greater Net Section Area: Using SDS screws instead of bolts preserves more of the column's cross-sectional area, contributing to enhanced overall strength.
- Certified Welds: Certified welds provide confidence in strength and loading performance.
- Increased Uplift Loads: Uplift loads have been increased to address earthquake or wind loading scenarios.
- Diamond Holes: Diamond holes allow for convenient temporary fastening during the installation process.
- Gray Paint Finish: Protective Gray Paint coating offers added corrosion resistance for long-term durability.
- Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States to Simpson Strong-Tie's exacting quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of fasteners does the CCQ106SDS2.5 use, and why does it matter?
- The CCQ106SDS2.5 uses Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws. These screws provide a lower profile than standard through bolts, which results in a cleaner, more streamlined installation. They also preserve a greater net section area of the column compared to traditional bolt fastening methods, contributing to enhanced overall strength.
- Is this column cap suitable for use in earthquake or high-wind regions?
- Yes. The CCQ106SDS2.5 is engineered with increased uplift loads specifically designed to address earthquake and wind loading conditions, making it appropriate for structural applications in regions subject to these forces.
- What column and beam dimensions is this cap designed for?
- The CCQ106SDS2.5 is designed for 10 x 6 column-beam combinations, providing a high-capacity connection engineered specifically for demanding structural applications where load transfer and integrity are critical.
- What finish does the CCQ106SDS2.5 have, and does it offer any corrosion protection?
- The CCQ106SDS2.5 is finished in a Gray Paint coating, which provides added corrosion resistance for use in structural environments.
