Product Description
Simpson CCT5 1/4-6X - T-Shape Column Cap | 5-1/8x Beam, 6x Post
The Simpson Strong-Tie CCT5 1/4-6X Column Cap is an engineered structural connector designed to provide strong, reliable column-to-beam connections where two beams meet in a "T" formation on top of a column. Built to handle the unique load-distribution demands of a bisecting beam configuration, this heavy-duty column cap transfers and distributes loads efficiently between the supported beams and the post below. Fabricated from 3-gauge steel with a gray paint finish, the CCT5 1/4-6X is engineered to accommodate a 5-1/8-inch beam width and a 6x post, with configurable W3 and H2 dimensions to suit project-specific requirements. This cap is specified per designer details to accommodate the many combinations of beam and post sizes required in structural applications.
Key Features
- T-Configuration Design: Engineered specifically to support two beams in a "T" formation on top of a column, distributing load from a bisecting beam with confidence.
- Certified Welds: All welds are certified for confidence in strength and loading performance.
- NDS-Compliant Bolt Spacing: Bolt spacing meets NDS code requirements to ensure optimal structural performance.
- Diamond Holes: Integrated diamond holes provide convenient temporary fastening during installation.
- 3-Gauge Steel Construction: Heavy-duty 3-gauge steel provides the structural integrity required for demanding column-to-beam applications.
- Gray Paint Finish: Factory-applied gray paint finish for corrosion resistance in standard interior applications.
- Also Available in Hot-Dipped Galvanized: For applications requiring additional corrosion protection, a hot-dipped galvanized option is available.
- Configurable Dimensions: W3 width and H2 height are configurable to meet specific design requirements.
