Product Description
Simpson CCQ68SDS2.5 CCQ Column Cap for 6x Beam, 8x Post with Strong-Drive SDS Screws by Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to deliver high-capacity column-to-beam connections in wood construction. The CCQ's extended bearing seat distributes load from the beam across a greater surface area, providing robust support beyond each side of the column. This model uses Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for fast installation while achieving a greater net section area of the column than bolt attachment normally entails - all in a lower-profile assembly built from 7-gauge steel with certified welds.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why are SDS screws used instead of standard through bolts?
- The Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws provide a lower profile than standard through bolts and attach to a greater net section area of the column than a bolt attachment normally entails, resulting in faster installation without sacrificing connection strength.
- How many SDS screws are required to install the CCQ68SDS2.5?
- Installation requires (30) 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (Model: SDS25212), which are included with the column cap. Note that lag screws will not achieve the same load.
- Is this column cap suitable for use in high-wind or seismic zones?
- Yes. Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake or wind loading, making the CCQ68SDS2.5 appropriate for projects requiring enhanced resistance to these forces.
- What is the purpose of the diamond holes on the CCQ68SDS2.5?
- The diamond holes are designed for temporary fastening during the installation process, helping to position and hold the column cap in place before final fastening with the SDS screws.
