Product Description
The Simpson LCC5.25-4 Column Cap is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson to create a high-capacity column-to-beam connection in new construction and replacement applications. Designed specifically to be welded to the lally column and attach to the girder, this column cap features side plates that capture the beam, enabling a safer installation process than standard cap plates. Whether you are framing a basement beam or replacing an aging column connection, this cap delivers the precision fit and structural reliability the job demands.
Key Features
- Fits over the column for precise positioning before welding - eliminates guesswork during installation, reducing alignment errors and speeding up the welding process.
- Side plates capture the beam during installation - provides a safer, more controlled process than standard cap plates, helping keep the girder securely in position.
- Provides adequate bearing length for larger girder reactions - supports heavier structural loads, making it suitable for demanding beam-to-column connections.
- Compatible with 5.25 in. LVL/PSL/LSL engineered lumber - precisely sized for today's common engineered beam widths, so the seat width aligns correctly without modification.
- Made from 12-gauge steel - delivers the material thickness needed for a dependable, load-bearing structural connection.
- Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - provides a durable surface coating suited for typical interior structural applications.
- Installs with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails - uses a standard fastener size, keeping the installation straightforward for experienced contractors.
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for lally column connections - unlike generic cap plates, this connector is designed specifically to work with 4 in. outer diameter lally columns, ensuring a precise fit and a structurally sound weld-ready connection without improvised workarounds.
- Safer beam capture for overhead installation - the side plate design holds the girder in place during the installation process, reducing the risk of shifting or misalignment compared to standard cap plates - a meaningful safety advantage when working with heavy engineered lumber overhead.
- Handles larger girder loads with confidence - the seat geometry provides adequate bearing length for higher-capacity girder reactions, making this column cap a strong choice when structural loads exceed what lighter connectors can reliably handle.
- Made in the United States by a trusted structural connector brand - Simpson brings decades of structural hardware engineering to this product, giving contractors and builders confidence in consistent quality and code-compatibility for residential and light commercial framing projects.
