Product Description
Simpson CC5 1/4-8 Column Cap for 5-1/8 in. Beam, 8x Post
The Simpson Strong-Tie CC5 1/4-8 Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in wood construction. The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond each side of the column, helping to distribute load from the beam and provide critical support for the connection. Built from heavy-duty 3-gauge steel with a durable Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish and certified welds, the CC5 1/4-8 is sized specifically for a 5-1/8 in. beam width paired with a nominal 8x post. Whether your project demands resistance to standard loads or enhanced performance under seismic or high-wind conditions, this column cap is designed to meet the challenge with code-compliant bolt spacing and increased uplift load ratings.
