The Simpson CCT5 1/4-4X Column Cap is a heavy-duty T-configuration connector engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections where two beams meet in a "T" formation on top of a column. Built from 3 gauge steel with a Gray Paint finish, this column cap is designed for demanding timber framing applications involving a 5-1/8x beam and a 4x post, helping distribute the load from a bisecting beam while providing critical structural support at the connection point.
Key Features
- T-configuration design for intersecting beam loads - purpose-built to handle the unique structural demands where two beams meet at a right angle on top of a column, ensuring load paths are properly managed at every connection point
- Certified welds throughout the connector - gives builders and engineers confidence in the strength and loading capacity of every joint, reducing uncertainty on the jobsite
- Bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements - helps ensure optimal performance and simplifies code compliance verification during inspection
- Diamond holes for temporary fastening - allow for quick positioning and holding during installation before final fasteners are set, improving efficiency in the field
- 3 gauge steel construction with Gray Paint finish - provides a robust, durable connector suited for heavy timber framing loads, with a finish option also available in Hot Dipped Galvanized for corrosion-sensitive environments
- Configurable W3 and H2 dimensions - allows the connector to be adapted to specific design requirements without compromising the integrity of the fixed structural dimensions
Why This Product
- Engineered specifically for T-formation timber connections - unlike standard column caps, this connector is purpose-designed for bisecting beam configurations, making it the right tool for complex post-and-beam intersections rather than a generic workaround
- Code-compliant bolt spacing out of the box - NDS-compliant bolt spacing is built into the design, reducing the time spent calculating spacing requirements and supporting a smoother inspection process
- Adaptable geometry for project-specific needs - with configurable W3 and H2 dimensions alongside fixed key measurements, this column cap can be tailored to fit the exact requirements of a given structural layout without compromising load performance
- Heavy-gauge steel for high-demand structural applications - the 3 gauge steel construction means this connector is built to handle the rigorous loading conditions common in timber frame construction, post-frame buildings, and similar heavy structural work
