Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CCOQ6-SDS2.5 is a heavy-duty column cap engineered to deliver high-capacity column-to-beam connections on top of steel columns. Designed without legs, the CCOQ cap is purpose-built for field-welded attachment to pipe or other steel columns and posts, offering installation flexibility in demanding structural applications. The seat of the column cap extends beyond each side of the column to provide additional bearing surface area, effectively distributing load from the beam and reinforcing the overall connection. Rather than relying on traditional through-bolts, this cap uses Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for faster installation, a lower-profile finish, and a greater net section area of the column. As with all genuine Simpson Strong-Tie connectors, the CCOQ6-SDS2.5 is engineered, tested, and manufactured to the highest quality standards - the trusted choice of engineers and contractors.
Key Features
- Fast installation with SDS screws: Uses Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS screws to provide faster installation and a greater net section area of the column compared to bolts.
- Low-profile design: SDS screws provide a lower profile compared to standard through bolts, resulting in a cleaner finished appearance.
- 6x nominal beam width: Engineered specifically for nominal 6x beam applications with a member size of 51/4 in. or 51/2 in.
- No-strap cap design: Column cap only (no straps) - ideal for field-welding to pipe or other column types.
- Heavy-gauge steel construction: Made from 7-gauge uncoated steel for robust structural performance.
- SDS screws included: Comes with (16) 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws.
