Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CCTQ666SDS is a 6x6 Quick-Install Column Cap engineered for "T" configuration beam-to-column connections. Designed to provide strong, reliable column-to-beam connections where two beams meet in a "T" formation on top of a column, this column cap efficiently distributes the load from bisecting beams while providing critical support for the connection. Built from 7-gauge steel with a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish and manufactured in the United States, the CCTQ666SDS utilizes Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for faster installation and a lower profile than standard through bolts. This column cap is special-ordered per specific details from the designer to accommodate the many combinations of beam and post sizes.

Installation Notes
- Install with 1/4" x 2-1/2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which are provided, in all round holes.
- Lag screws will not achieve the same load - use only the included SDS screws.
- No additional welding is allowed.
- Available in widths up to 8" wide.
- Straps may be rotated where W1 != W2.
- Many combinations of beam and post sizes can be manufactured Contact us for Configurable Options and Special orders .
- Column caps may be ordered without the column straps for field welding to a steel column, full loads apply for the beam and the post cap. Specify "No Straps" when ordering. Weld by designer. These models have no coating.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What configuration is the CCTQ666SDS designed for?
- The CCTQ666SDS is designed specifically for a "T" configuration column-to-beam connection, where two bisecting beams meet on top of a single column. This allows it to efficiently distribute loads from beams that intersect at a right angle atop the supporting post.
- What fasteners does the CCTQ666SDS use, and why does that matter?
- This column cap uses Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws rather than traditional through bolts. This results in faster installation, a lower profile for a cleaner appearance, and high uplift design values provided by the screw configuration.
- What beam and post sizes is the CCTQ666SDS compatible with?
- The CCTQ666SDS is designed for use with 6x beams and a 6x post. Because there are many combinations of beam and post sizes, this column cap is special-ordered per specific details provided by the designer to ensure the correct fit for the application.
- What material and finish is used on the CCTQ666SDS?
- The CCTQ666SDS is constructed from 7-gauge steel and features a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish. It also incorporates certified welds for confidence in strength and loading performance, and includes diamond holes to allow for temporary fastening during installation.
