The Simpson CCQ4.62-4.62SDS Triple 2x / Triple 2x Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in wood construction. The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond each side of the column, helping to distribute the load from the beam and provide critical support for the connection. Utilizing Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, this column cap offers fast installation while attaching to a greater net section area of the column than a standard bolt attachment normally entails - making it an ideal choice for demanding structural applications including those subject to high wind or seismic loading.

Key Features

• Extended Bearing Surface: The seat extends beyond each side of the column to help distribute beam loads and enhance connection support.
• SDS Screw Installation: Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws provide a lower profile than standard through bolts for a cleaner, stronger connection.
• Certified Welds: Certified welds provide confidence in strength and load performance.
• Enhanced Uplift Resistance: Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake or wind loading applications.
• Diamond Holes: Diamond holes allow for convenient temporary fastening during installation.
• Rough-Cut Lumber Compatible: Designed for use with rough-cut lumber.

Frequently Asked Questions

What beam and post sizes is the CCQ4.62-4.62SDS designed for?

The CCQ4.62-4.62SDS is specifically designed for use with a Triple 2x beam and a Triple 2x post, making it suited for multi-ply wood column-to-beam connections in structural applications.

What type of fasteners are used with this column cap?

This column cap installs using Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws. These screws provide a lower profile than standard through bolts, attach to a greater net section area of the column, and allow for faster installation overall.

Is this column cap suitable for high wind or seismic loading conditions?

Yes. The CCQ4.62-4.62SDS features enhanced uplift resistance specifically increased for earthquake and wind loading applications, making it an appropriate choice for demanding structural connections subject to these conditions.

Can this column cap be used with rough-cut lumber?

Yes. The CCQ4.62-4.62SDS is designed to be compatible with rough-cut lumber, offering flexibility for projects where rough-cut dimensional wood members are used in place of standard dressed lumber.
