Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CC48 Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in wood construction. Designed for use with a 4x beam and 8x post, the CC48 features a seat that provides additional bearing surface area extending beyond each side of the column, effectively distributing load from the beam and providing superior support at the connection point. Constructed from heavy-duty 7-gauge steel with a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish, this column cap is built for performance in demanding structural applications. Certified welds and bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements make the CC48 a trusted choice for wood-frame construction projects requiring dependable column-beam performance under earthquake and wind loading conditions.
