The Simpson CCT666 T Shape Column Cap is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson to create dependable column-to-beam connections where two 6x beams meet in a "T" formation on top of a 6x post. Purpose-built for timber-frame, post-and-beam, and similar structural applications, this column cap distributes load across the intersection point with precision, giving builders and engineers a reliable solution for demanding overhead framing assemblies.

Key Features

• T-shape configuration for two 6x beams on a 6x post - matches the exact geometry of a bisecting beam intersection, eliminating the need for field-fabricated workarounds at critical connection points
• Certified welds throughout - provides verified strength and load confidence so structural performance meets design expectations without guesswork
• Bolt spacing meets NDS code requirements - keeps the connection compliant with the National Design Specification, simplifying inspections and reducing approval delays
• Diamond holes for temporary fastening - allow the cap to be held securely in position during installation before final bolting, making one-person or small-crew assembly more manageable
• Fabricated from 7-gauge steel with a gray paint finish - delivers substantial load-carrying capacity and corrosion resistance appropriate for protected structural environments

Why This Product

• Built specifically for T-shape intersections - unlike generic post caps, the CCT666 is designed exclusively for the T-configuration, meaning the geometry, bolt pattern, and load path are all optimized for exactly this connection type rather than adapted from a less precise fit
• Code-compliant construction from a trusted structural brand - NDS-conforming bolt spacing and certified welds mean the connector is engineered to satisfy inspector requirements, reducing rework risk on permitted projects
• Domestic manufacture with consistent quality - produced in the United States, supporting supply chain reliability and the quality standards builders associate with Simpson structural hardware
• Size flexibility beyond the standard configuration - while sized for 6x beams and a 6x post, configurable options are available for additional beam and post size combinations, making this a practical starting point for projects with varying framing dimensions

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of beam arrangement is the CCT666 designed to support?

The CCT666 is specifically designed for connections where two beams meet in a "T" formation on top of a column. It helps distribute the load from a bisecting beam and provides structural support for that intersection point.

What are the post and beam sizes compatible with the CCT666?

The CCT666 is sized to work with a 6x post and 6x beams in the T-configuration. Additional size combinations may be accommodated through configurable options -.

Does the CCT666 meet building code requirements?

Yes. The CCT666 features bolt spacing that meets NDS (National Design Specification) code requirements to ensure optimal structural performance, along with certified welds that provide confidence in strength and load ratings.

Is a galvanized version of the CCT666 available?

Yes. In addition to the standard Gray Paint finish, the CCT666 is also available in a Hot Dipped Galvanized finish, which is suitable for applications where exposure to moisture or corrosive conditions is a concern.
