The Simpson Strong-Tie CC84 Column Cap is an engineered heavy-duty connector designed to deliver reliable column-to-beam load transfer in wood construction applications. Built to handle 4x post and 8x beam connections, the CC84 features a load-distributing seat that extends beyond each side of the column, maximizing bearing surface area and ensuring structural integrity under demanding conditions. Finished in Simpson Strong-Tie's signature gray paint and manufactured in the United States, the CC84 meets the rigorous demands of residential and commercial wood framing where strong, code-compliant connections are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

What post and beam sizes is the CC84 designed to connect?

The CC84 is designed specifically for 4x post and 8x beam connections, making it suited for applications where a 4-inch column meets an 8-inch beam in wood construction.

Is the CC84 suitable for use in areas with high wind or seismic activity?

Yes. The CC84 features increased uplift load capacity, which is engineered to support elevated uplift loads specifically for earthquake and wind loading scenarios, making it appropriate for demanding structural conditions.

Does the CC84 meet building code requirements for bolt spacing?

Yes. The CC84 is designed with NDS-compliant bolt spacing that meets National Design Specification (NDS) code requirements for optimal structural performance in residential and commercial wood framing applications.

What finish does the CC84 have, and does it offer any corrosion resistance?

The CC84 features Simpson Strong-Tie's gray paint finish, which is a durable factory-applied coating intended to provide corrosion resistance and support long-term performance in wood construction applications.
