Product Description
Simpson CCT5 1/4-8X Column Cap - T Configuration | 5-1/8x Beam, 8x Post
The Simpson CCT5 1/4-8X Column Cap is an engineered steel connector designed to provide strong, reliable column-to-beam connections where two beams meet in a "T" formation on top of a column. When properly installed, this column cap distributes the load from a bisecting beam while providing critical structural support at the connection point. Fabricated from heavy-duty 3-gauge steel with a durable gray paint finish, this column cap is built to handle demanding structural applications.
