Frequently Asked Questions

What beam and post sizes is the CC4.62-3.62 designed to work with?

The CC4.62-3.62 is designed to connect a triple 2X beam (with a combined width of 4 1/2 in., dimension W1) to a 4x post with a width of 3 5/8 in. (dimension W2). The column cap has an overall length of 11 in. and a height of 6 1/2 in., making it compatible with standard 4x4 post sizes.

What bolt size is required for installation?

Installation requires 5/8 in. bolts. The bolt spacing on the CC4.62-3.62 is designed to meet NDS code requirements for optimal structural performance.

What features help this column cap perform in high-load conditions such as earthquakes or high winds?

The CC4.62-3.62 features increased uplift load capacity to meet earthquake and wind loading requirements, certified welds for confidence in strength and load performance, and an extended bearing seat that distributes beam load evenly beyond each side of the column to reinforce the structural connection.

What material and finish does the CC4.62-3.62 use?

The CC4.62-3.62 is constructed from 7 gauge steel and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint for durability. It also includes diamond holes that allow for convenient temporary fastening during installation.
