Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CCOQ9-SDS2.5 is an 8-3/4" Beam Column Cap engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections on top of steel columns. Featuring a legless design, this column cap is intended for field-welded attachment to steel columns and posts, making it well-suited for heavy structural framing applications. The extended seat of the cap provides additional bearing surface area that projects beyond each side of the column, helping to distribute beam loads efficiently and reinforce the connection. Rather than traditional through bolts, this cap utilizes Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for rapid installation while engaging a greater net section area of the column than standard bolt attachments.
