Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie Black Column Cap CC5 1/4-8PC delivers a strong column-beam connection engineered for wood construction projects where both performance and aesthetics matter. Designed as part of Simpson's Classic Collection, this connector features modern smooth edges and clean lines that make it an ideal choice for visible applications. 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 added support and stability for the connection. Finished in a sleek black powder-coat, the CC5 1/4-8PC is purpose-built for indoor architectural applications where a refined, decorative appearance is just as important as structural integrity.
