Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CCOQ4-SDS2.5 is a 7-gauge uncoated steel beam column cap engineered to deliver a high-capacity connection for column-beam combinations. Designed as a column cap only (no straps), it is ideally suited for field-welding directly to pipe or other steel columns, offering a clean, professional installation without the bulk of traditional bolted hardware. The CCOQ4-SDS2.5 ships with 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws included, so everything needed for a fast, code-compliant connection arrives in one package. Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are engineered, tested, and manufactured to the highest quality standards - the trusted choice of engineers and contractors for residential and commercial structural applications alike.
Key Features
- Quick Installation with SDS Screws: Uses Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS screws to provide faster installation compared to traditional through-bolt methods, while delivering a greater net section area of the column.
- Low-Profile Design: SDS screws provide a lower profile compared to standard through bolts, resulting in a cleaner finished appearance and easier installation in tight or finished spaces.
- 4x Nominal Beam Width: Sized for a nominal 4x beam with a member size of 3-1/2 in., making it compatible with standard dimensional lumber framing.
- Cap Only - No Straps: The column cap only (no straps) design allows field-welding to pipe or other column types, offering flexibility for a wide range of structural column configurations.
- Heavy-Gauge Steel Construction: Manufactured from 7-gauge uncoated steel for maximum strength and structural integrity in demanding applications.
- High-Capacity Connection: Engineered to provide high-capacity column-to-beam load transfer, supporting the performance demands of both residential and light commercial construction.
