Product Description
Simpson CC3 1/4-4 Column Cap for 3-1/8 in. Beam, 4x Post
The Simpson Strong-Tie CC3 1/4-4 Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in wood construction. The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond each side of the column, helping to distribute the load from the beam and provide robust support for the connection. Built from heavy-duty 7-gauge steel with certified welds and a durable Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish, the CC3 1/4-4 is designed to perform under demanding structural loads including earthquake and wind uplift forces.
