Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie Black Column Cap for 3-1/8" Beam and 6X Post (CC3 1/4-6PC) delivers a strong, reliable column-to-beam connection for wood construction projects. Part of Simpson Strong-Tie's Classic Collection, this connector combines structural performance with refined aesthetics - featuring modern smooth edges, clean lines, and a sleek black powder-coat finish that makes it equally suited for exposed architectural applications.
