Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CC78 Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in wood construction. Designed for a 6-3/4 in. beam width and a nominal 8x post size, this heavy-duty connector features a seat that provides an additional surface area of bearing extending beyond each side of the column - helping to distribute load from the beam and provide critical support at the connection point. Fabricated from 3-gauge steel with a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish and certified welds throughout, the CC78 is built to perform in demanding structural applications where earthquake and wind uplift resistance are essential.
