Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CC74 Column Cap is a heavy-duty bolted connector engineered to deliver reliable column-to-beam connections in demanding wood construction applications. With a 6-3/4" beam width and a robust profile measuring 13" in length and 8" in height, the CC74 provides an extended bearing seat that reaches beyond each side of the column - effectively distributing load from the beam while reinforcing the integrity of the entire structural connection. Finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint and manufactured in the United States, the CC74 is built to perform where strength and durability matter most.
Key Features
- Certified welds for confidence in strength and loading performance
- Increased uplift load capacity engineered to meet the demands of earthquake and wind loading conditions
- Bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements to ensure optimal structural performance
- Diamond holes for convenient temporary fastening during installation
- Extended seat design provides additional bearing surface area beyond each side of the column for superior load distribution
- Finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint for a consistent, professional appearance

Frequently Asked Questions
- What beam width is the CC74 designed to fit?
- The CC74 is designed for use with a 6-3/4 in. wide beam, making it suitable for structural column-to-beam connections where that beam dimension is specified.
- What bolt size is required for installing the CC74?
- The CC74 requires 3/4 in. bolts. The bolt spacing is engineered to meet NDS code requirements for optimal structural performance.
- What is the purpose of the extended seat design on the CC74?
- The extended seat design provides additional bearing surface area that reaches beyond each side of the column, distributing the load from the beam more effectively and reinforcing the integrity of the overall structural connection.
- Is the CC74 suitable for use in areas with seismic or high-wind conditions?
- Yes. The CC74 features increased uplift load capacity that is specifically engineered to meet the demands of earthquake and wind loading conditions, along with certified welds for confidence in strength and loading performance.
