The Simpson Strong-Tie CCT76X Column Cap is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered for T-configuration column-to-beam connections where two beams bisect on top of a single column. Built from 3 gauge steel with a gray paint finish, this column cap is designed to distribute loads reliably at the connection point, making it a trusted choice for demanding structural framing projects involving a 6-3/4x beam and a 6x post.

Key Features

• Certified welds - provide verified strength and load confidence, giving builders and engineers assurance in the integrity of every connection
• Bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements - ensures the connector performs to recognized industry standards, simplifying plan approval and inspection
• Diamond holes for temporary fastening - allow the cap to be quickly positioned and held in place during installation, improving jobsite efficiency and accuracy
• T-configuration design - purpose-built for column-top connections where two beams meet in a T formation, ensuring proper load transfer at this specific and common framing intersection
• Fabricated from 3 gauge steel - delivers the structural thickness required for heavy-load column-to-beam applications where durability cannot be compromised
• Configurable W3 and H2 dimensions - allow the connector to be adapted to project-specific framing requirements, reducing the need for field modifications
• Also available in hot-dipped galvanized finish - provides an enhanced corrosion-protection option for exterior or moisture-exposed structural applications

Why This Product

• Code-compliant out of the box - bolt spacing engineered to NDS requirements and certified welds mean this connector supports confident, inspection-ready structural framing without guesswork
• Built for a specific, critical connection type - the T-shape configuration is purpose-designed for bisecting beam layouts on a single column, delivering a fit-for-purpose solution rather than a generic workaround
• Flexibility for real-world project variation - with configurable W3 and H2 dimensions and an available hot-dipped galvanized finish, this column cap adapts to a range of structural and environmental conditions
• Installation-friendly design - diamond holes for temporary fastening help keep the connector correctly positioned during the fastening process, reducing installation errors on complex framing assemblies

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of structural connection is the CCT76X designed for?

The CCT76X is designed to provide strong column-to-beam connections when there are two beams in a "T" formation on top of a column. It helps distribute the load from a bisecting beam and provides support for the connection at the column top.

What are the fixed dimensions of the CCT76X?

The CCT76X has a W1 of 6-7/8 in., a W2 of 5-1/2 in., a length (L) of 13 in., and an H1 of 8 in. The W3 width and H2 height dimensions are configurable to suit specific project requirements.

What material and finish does the CCT76X use?

The CCT76X is fabricated from 3 gauge steel and features a gray paint finish. It is also available in a hot-dipped galvanized finish for projects requiring enhanced corrosion protection.

Does the CCT76X meet industry code requirements?

Yes. The CCT76X features bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements to ensure optimal performance, along with certified welds for confidence in strength and loading.
