Product Description
Simpson CC98 Column Cap for 8-3/4 in. Beam, 8x Post
The Simpson Strong-Tie CC98 Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in wood construction. The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond each side of the column, helping to effectively distribute the load from the beam and provide critical support for the connection. Fabricated from heavy-duty 3-gauge steel with certified welds and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, the CC98 is built to perform in demanding structural applications where code compliance and load integrity are essential.
