Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CC5 1/4-4 Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in wood construction. Designed for use with a 5-1/8 in. beam and a nominal 4x post, the CC column cap features an extended seat that provides additional bearing surface area beyond each side of the column. This design helps distribute the load transferred from the beam and delivers consistent, code-compliant support at the connection point. Fabricated from heavy-duty 3-gauge steel with a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish and featuring certified welds, the CC5 1/4-4 is built for demanding structural applications where strength and reliability are essential.
