Product Description
The Simpson CCTQ3X-SDS Column Cap in T Configuration is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections where two beams meet in a "T" formation on top of a column. Utilizing Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, this column cap offers faster installation and a lower profile compared to standard through bolts. The CCTQ is special-ordered per specific details from the designer to accommodate the many combinations of beam and post sizes, making it a highly adaptable solution for demanding structural applications. When properly installed, it effectively distributes the load from bisecting beams and provides dependable support for the connection.
