Frequently Asked Questions

What beam and post sizes is the CC4.62-4.62 designed to work with?

The CC4.62-4.62 is designed for use with a triple 2X beam and a triple 2X column. It accommodates a beam width of 4 1/2 in. and features W1 and W2 dimensions of 4 5/8 in. each, with a post size of (3) 2x4.

How does the extended bearing seat on this column cap benefit my structure?

The column cap seat provides additional bearing surface area that extends beyond each side of the column, which helps distribute beam loads more effectively across the connection point. This design promotes even load transfer and greater structural integrity at the column-to-beam joint.

Is the CC4.62-4.62 suitable for use in high-wind or seismic zones?

Yes. The CC4.62-4.62 features increased uplift load capacity with enhanced ratings specifically intended to meet earthquake and wind loading demands, making it well suited for demanding structural applications in high-wind or seismic areas.

Does the CC4.62-4.62 meet building code requirements for bolt spacing?

Yes. The bolt placement on the CC4.62-4.62 complies with National Design Specification (NDS) code requirements for optimal performance, helping ensure the connection meets standard structural engineering guidelines.
