Product Description
Simpson CCQ86SDS2.5 CCQ Column Cap for 8x Beam, 6x 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 design features an extended bearing seat that projects beyond each side of the column, distributing load from the beam and providing robust support for the connection. This model uses Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for faster installation and attachment to a greater net section area of the column than a standard bolt attachment normally provides - all while maintaining a lower profile. Uplift load values have been increased for earthquake or wind loading applications, making this cap a dependable choice for demanding structural conditions.
