Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CC48HDG Column Cap is a hot-dip galvanized steel connector engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in wood construction. Designed for use with a 4x8 post and 4x beam, this column cap features an extended seat that provides additional bearing surface area beyond each side of the column, helping to effectively distribute load from the beam while providing superior structural support. The hot-dip galvanized finish ensures lasting corrosion resistance, making this connector well-suited for demanding outdoor and exposed structural applications. Certified welds and precision engineering make the CC48HDG a trusted solution for builders and engineers who require dependable performance in both standard and high-load scenarios including earthquake and wind loading environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What post and beam sizes is the CC48HDG designed to work with?
- The CC48HDG is designed for use with a 4x8 post and a 4x beam with a 31/2 in. beam width.
- What type of finish does the CC48HDG have, and why does it matter for outdoor use?
- The CC48HDG features a hot-dip galvanized (HDG) finish, which provides superior corrosion resistance. This makes it well-suited for demanding outdoor and exposed structural applications where moisture and the elements could degrade standard finishes over time.
- Is the CC48HDG suitable for use in high-load structural environments such as those subject to earthquake or wind forces?
- Yes. The CC48HDG is engineered with certified welds and increased uplift loads specifically to enhance performance under earthquake and wind loading conditions, making it a reliable choice for high-load structural scenarios.
- What design features help simplify installation of the CC48HDG?
- The CC48HDG includes diamond holes that allow for convenient temporary fastening during installation. Its extended seat design also provides additional bearing surface area beyond each side of the column, helping to effectively distribute load from the beam during and after installation.
