Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CC96 Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in wood construction. Designed for an 8-3/4 in. beam width and a nominal 6x post, the CC96 features a seat that provides additional bearing surface area extending beyond each side of the column. This extended bearing seat helps distribute load from the beam efficiently, providing robust support throughout the connection. Fabricated from heavy-duty 3-gauge steel with a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish and featuring certified welds, the CC96 is built to perform in demanding structural environments - including applications requiring enhanced resistance to earthquake and wind uplift forces.
