The Simpson Strong-Tie CC84ROT is a heavy-duty bolted column cap engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in wood construction. Featuring rotated beam straps and a robust seat design, this column cap distributes load from the beam evenly across an extended bearing surface that reaches beyond each side of the column. Finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint and manufactured in the United States, the CC84ROT is built to perform in demanding structural applications where uplift resistance and load transfer integrity are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What beam and post sizes is the CC84ROT designed to fit?

The CC84ROT is designed for use with an 8x beam and a 4x post. The beam width (W1) is 7-1/2 in., the W2 dimension is 3-5/8 in., and the post size is 4x8, making it specifically suited for heavy-duty post-and-beam assemblies using those member dimensions.

What does the "ROT" in the model name indicate?

The "ROT" designation indicates that the beam straps on this column cap are rotated 90 deg. relative to a standard orientation. This rotated strap configuration allows for versatile beam orientation setups, making the CC84ROT suitable for applications where the beam runs perpendicular to a standard column cap's strap direction.

Is the CC84ROT suitable for use in high-wind or seismic zones?

Yes. The CC84ROT features increased uplift load capacity specifically intended for earthquake or high-wind loading conditions. Its certified welds and bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements further support its use in demanding structural applications where uplift resistance and load transfer integrity are critical.

What bolt size is required for the CC84ROT, and how is the load distributed across the connection?

The CC84ROT uses 3/4 in. bolts. Load from the beam is distributed evenly across an extended seat bearing surface that reaches beyond each side of the column, helping to spread structural loads effectively in column-to-beam connections in wood-frame construction.
