The Simpson Black Column Cap for 6-3/4 in. Beam and 6X Post is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson built for wood construction projects where a reliable column-to-beam connection is non-negotiable. Part of the Simpson Classic Collection, this column cap pairs robust 3-gauge steel construction and certified welds with a sleek black powder-coat finish, making it equally at home in structural timber framing applications and architecturally exposed installations where the connector remains fully visible. Its extended seat design distributes beam load beyond each side of the column, delivering added bearing surface area and enhanced stability at the connection point - an advantage that matters in both residential and commercial builds subject to wind or seismic uplift forces.

Key Features

• Extended Seat Design - provides additional bearing surface area beyond each side of the column, distributing load more effectively and improving stability at the column-to-beam connection point
• 3-Gauge Steel Construction with Certified Welds - delivers heavy-duty structural integrity suited to demanding timber framing and load-bearing applications in both residential and commercial settings
• Black Powder-Coat Finish - creates a clean, modern look that holds up well in exposed-connector installations where appearance matters as much as performance
• Simpson Classic Collection Design - smooth edges and clean lines make this column cap a natural fit for architectural and decorative timber projects where connectors are intentionally left visible
• Compatible with 6-3/4 in. Beam and 6X Post - precisely sized for these specific timber dimensions, eliminating guesswork and ensuring a proper fit in timber framing projects calling for these profiles
• Suitable for Earthquake and Wind Loading Applications - engineered to provide increased uplift resistance, making it a sound choice for structural connections in high-load or code-regulated environments
• NDS Code-Compliant Bolt Spacing - supports compliance with National Design Specification requirements, helping builders meet project code standards without added complexity

Frequently Asked Questions

What beam and post sizes is the CC76PC designed to fit?

The CC76PC is designed for use with a 6-3/4" beam and a 6X post, making it suitable for timber framing applications that call for those specific dimensions.

What material and finish does the CC76PC feature?

The CC76PC is manufactured from 3-gauge steel with certified welds and features a black powder-coat finish, giving it a polished, decorative appearance well suited for visible connector applications.

Is the CC76PC appropriate for use in areas subject to earthquake or wind loading?

Yes. The CC76PC offers increased uplift loads specifically to address the demands of earthquake or wind loading conditions, making it a reliable choice for projects in high-load environments.

What is the purpose of the extended seat on the CC76PC?

The extended seat provides additional bearing surface area that extends beyond each side of the column. This design effectively distributes the load from the beam while delivering added support and stability at the connection point.
