Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CC86 Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in wood construction. Designed for use with an 8x nominal beam width and a 6x nominal post size, this heavy-duty connector features a seat that provides additional bearing surface area extending beyond each side of the column - helping to distribute load from the beam and provide solid, code-compliant support at the connection point. Fabricated from thick 3-gauge steel with a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish and featuring certified welds, the CC86 delivers the structural integrity demanded by both residential and commercial wood-frame construction projects. Its design specifically addresses increased uplift resistance for earthquake and wind loading conditions, making it a trusted choice in high-demand structural applications.
