The Simpson CCT77X T Shape Column Cap is a heavy-duty connector engineered to create 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 to distribute the load from a bisecting beam and deliver critical structural support at the connection point - making it a dependable choice for timber framing, post-and-beam construction, and similar structural applications requiring a secure T-configuration cap.
Key Features
- Certified welds - provide verified strength and load confidence, giving builders and engineers assurance in the integrity of each connection
- Bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements - ensures the column-to-beam connection performs to recognized industry standards, simplifying plan approval and inspection
- Diamond holes for temporary fastening - allow the cap to be positioned and held in place during installation before final fastening, reducing the risk of misalignment
- T-configuration design - accommodates two-beam arrangements on top of a column, making this cap purpose-built for bisecting beam load distribution where a standard single-beam cap would fall short
- Available in Hot Dipped Galvanized finish - offers an alternative for projects where enhanced corrosion resistance is needed, expanding the range of environments where this cap can be used
- Configurable W3 width and H2 height dimensions - allow the cap to be adapted to specific project requirements beyond the fixed dimensions, adding flexibility for non-standard framing conditions
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for T-formation connections - unlike generic column caps, the CCT77X is specifically engineered for two-beam "T" arrangements on top of a column, meaning the geometry and load distribution are matched to the actual structural demand of this common framing scenario
- Code-compliant bolt spacing built in - meeting NDS code requirements is not an afterthought here; it is a core design feature, which helps streamline inspections and gives structural designers confidence in specifying this connector
- Certified welds plus diamond holes work together - the combination of weld-certified strength and temporary-fastening diamond holes means the connector is engineered for both long-term performance and practical, accurate installation in the field
- Finish options for different environments - the choice between a gray paint finish and a Hot Dipped Galvanized finish means the same proven T-cap design can be matched to interior timber applications or projects where moisture exposure makes corrosion resistance a priority

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of structural connection is the CCT77X designed for?
- The CCT77X is designed to provide strong column-to-beam connections when there are two beams arranged in a "T" formation on top of a column. It helps distribute the load from a bisecting beam and supports the overall connection.
- What are the fixed dimensions of the CCT77X?
- The CCT77X has fixed dimensions of W1 = 6-7/8 in., W2 = 6-7/8 in., L = 13 in., and H1 = 8 in. The W3 width and H2 height dimensions are configurable based on your specific project requirements.
- What material and finish does the CCT77X use?
- The CCT77X is constructed from 3-gauge steel and features a gray paint finish. It is also available in a Hot Dipped Galvanized finish for enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Does the CCT77X meet code requirements for bolt spacing?
- Yes. The CCT77X features bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements to ensure optimal performance, along with certified welds and diamond holes for temporary fastening during installation.
