Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CCTQM3.62-SDS is a heavy-duty, T-shape embedded column cap engineered for raised pier foundations and structural applications where heavy beams bear on concrete or concrete masonry unit (CMU) columns. Featuring a robust 7-gauge steel construction and a gray paint finish, this column cap delivers the high uplift and lateral resistance required to help structures withstand demanding high-wind events. Its T-shape geometry makes it ideal for non-corner, intermediate floor support beam locations, with a side stirrup that accommodates intersecting support beams at precise 90-degree angles. Included 1/4" x 2-1/2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are strategically configured to maximize uplift design values straight out of the box. Configurations for many different beams or beam-to-beam combinations can be manufactured - Contact us for configurable options and special orders.
Key Features
- High Uplift & Lateral Resistance: Heavy-gauge beam seat combined with SSTB anchor bolt compatibility provides the structural resistance needed to help resist high-wind events.
- T-Shape Side Stirrup Design: Side stirrup accommodates intermediate support beams at 90-degree angles, ideal for non-corner floor support beam locations.
- SDS Screw Configuration: Included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are configured to deliver high uplift design values.
- Certified Welds: Certified welds provide confidence in strength and loading performance.
- Flush Installation: SSTB offset allows flush installation to the edge of the pier for a clean, precise fit.
- 7-Gauge Steel Construction: Heavy-gauge material ensures durability and reliable load transfer in demanding foundation applications.
- Gray Paint Finish: Factory-applied gray paint finish for added protection.
- Made in the United States: Domestically manufactured for consistent quality control.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of foundation or column is the CCTQM3.62-SDS designed to work with?
- This column cap is engineered for use with concrete masonry unit (CMU) columns and concrete piers, making it well suited for raised pier foundation applications where heavy beams need structural support.
- What makes the T-shape design useful, and where is it best applied?
- The T-shape geometry includes a side stirrup that accommodates intersecting support beams at precise 90-degree angles. This makes it ideal for non-corner, intermediate floor support beam locations rather than corner positions.
- Are fasteners included, and what type are they?
- Yes, the column cap comes with 1/4" x 2-1/2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws. These screws are strategically configured to maximize uplift design values straight out of the box.
- What materials and construction standards are used in this column cap?
- The CCTQM3.62-SDS is built from 7-gauge steel with a gray paint finish and features certified welds, which provide confidence in strength and loading performance. It is also compatible with SSTB anchor bolts to help provide high uplift and lateral resistance during high-wind events.
