The Simpson Strong-Tie CC106 Column Cap is a heavy-duty bolted connector engineered to create strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in structural wood framing. Built for a 6x post and 10x beam configuration, this connector is a dependable choice for load-bearing applications where structural integrity, code compliance, and resistance to lateral forces are non-negotiable.

Key Features

• Certified welds - provide verified strength and load confidence, giving builders and inspectors a reliable benchmark for structural performance.
• Increased uplift load capacity - engineered to handle the demands of earthquake and wind loading, making this connector well-suited for projects in high-lateral-force environments.
• Bolt spacing meets NDS code requirements - ensures the connection performs to established structural standards, reducing the risk of non-compliance during inspection.
• Diamond holes for temporary fastening - allow the connector to be held in position during installation before final bolting, improving accuracy and saving time on the job.
• Extended bearing seat - distributes load across a greater surface area beyond each side of the column, improving load transfer and reducing stress concentration at the connection point.
• 3-gauge steel construction - delivers the material thickness needed for demanding structural applications where a lighter-gauge connector would fall short.
• Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - offers a consistent, professional appearance while providing a baseline level of surface protection for the connector.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for a 6x post and 10x beam pairing - the CC106 is sized and engineered specifically for this column-to-beam combination, so structural framing contractors get a connector that fits correctly without modification or guesswork.
• Designed for seismic and wind-prone regions - with uplift loads specifically increased to address earthquake and wind demands, this connector supports code-compliant construction in areas where lateral forces are a primary design concern.
• Domestically produced by a trusted structural connector brand - Simpson Strong-Tie manufactures the CC106 in the United States, reflecting a standard of quality that structural engineers and building professionals rely on across a wide range of framing applications.
• Heavy-gauge, bolted design for high-load applications - the combination of 3-gauge steel and 3/4-inch bolt requirements makes the CC106 appropriate for demanding structural connections where lighter connectors and smaller fasteners simply are not adequate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What post and beam sizes is the CC106 designed for?

The CC106 is designed for use with a 6x10 post size and accommodates a beam width of 9 1/4 inches. The connector dimensions include a W1 of 9 1/2 in., a W2 of 5 1/2 in., a length of 13 in., and a height of 8 in.

What bolt size is required for the CC106?

The CC106 requires 3/4-inch bolts. The bolt spacing is designed to meet NDS code requirements to ensure optimal structural performance.

How does the CC106 help with seismic and wind resistance?

The CC106 features uplift loads that have been increased to address earthquake and wind loading demands, making it suitable for use in areas subject to these lateral forces.

What finish does the CC106 come with, and what gauge material is used?

The CC106 comes with a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish. As noted for all models not specifically listed under the 7-gauge category, the CC106 is constructed from 3-gauge steel for heavy-duty structural applications.
