Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CCQ7.1-7.1SDS2.5 is a heavy-duty CCQ Column Cap engineered to deliver high-capacity column-to-beam connections in wood construction for 7-inch beams and 7-inch posts. The CCQ series is designed to generally eliminate the need for additional brackets or braces, thanks to an extended seat that provides additional bearing surface area beyond each side of the column - helping distribute loads from the beam while providing solid support for the connection. This model ships with Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for fast installation and a lower profile than standard through bolts, while also engaging a greater net section area of the column than bolt attachment typically allows. Manufactured from 3-gauge steel and finished with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, this column cap is made in the United States and backed by certified welds for proven strength and load performance.
Key Features
- Lower Profile Fastening: Strong-Drive SDS screws provide a lower profile than standard through bolts while engaging a greater net section area of the column.
- Certified Welds: All welds are certified for confidence in strength and load-carrying performance.
- Enhanced Uplift Resistance: Uplift loads have been increased to meet demands of earthquake or wind loading conditions.
- Diamond Holes: Integrated diamond holes allow for convenient temporary fastening during installation.
- Extended Bearing Seat: The seat extends beyond each side of the column to distribute beam loads and support the connection.
- 7 in. Beam / 7 in. Post: Precisely sized for 7-inch beam width and 7-inch post width applications.
- 3-Gauge Steel Construction: Heavy-gauge steel for maximum strength and durability.
- Simpson Strong-Tie Gray Paint Finish: Factory-applied gray paint finish for a clean, consistent appearance.
- SDS Screws Included: Ships complete with (30) 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - no separate hardware purchase required.
- Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What beam and post sizes is this column cap designed to fit?
- The CCQ7.1-7.1SDS2.5 is designed for use with a 7-inch wide beam and a 7-inch wide post, making it suited for heavy timber framing applications requiring a strong column-to-beam connection.
- What fasteners are included, and how many are needed for installation?
- This column cap includes 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (Model: SDS25212). Installation requires 30 of these screws, all of which are included with the cap.
- Why are SDS screws used instead of standard through bolts?
- The Strong-Drive SDS 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 allows. This results in a cleaner installation with strong load-carrying performance.
- What material and finish is the CCQ7.1-7.1SDS2.5 made from?
- This column cap is manufactured from 3-gauge steel and finished with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint. It also features certified welds for confidence in strength and loading, and its uplift loads have been increased to address earthquake or wind loading conditions.
