Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie 3-1/4 Beam Column Cap CCO3 1/4 is an engineered steel column cap designed to provide strong, reliable column-to-beam connections on top of steel columns. Its legless design enables field-welded attachment to steel columns and posts, while the extended seat provides additional bearing surface area beyond each side of the column to effectively distribute beam loads and reinforce the connection.
Key Features
- Legless design engineered specifically for field-welded attachment to steel columns and posts
- Extended seat provides additional bearing surface area beyond each side of the column for improved load distribution
- Uplift load capacity increased to meet demands of earthquake or wind loading conditions
- Bolt spacing meets NDS code requirements to ensure optimal structural performance
- Diamond holes provide convenient temporary fastening during installation
- Made in the United States

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of columns is the CCO3 1/4 designed to attach to?
- The CCO3 1/4 is designed for use on top of steel columns and posts. Its legless design allows for field-welded attachment directly to steel columns, and it may also be ordered for field welding to pipe or other column types, with welding performed by the designer.
- What beam width does the CCO3 1/4 accommodate?
- The CCO3 1/4 accommodates a beam width of 3-1/8 inches. For special, custom, or rough-cut lumber sizes, specific dimensions should be provided when configuring the product.
- Does the CCO3 1/4 meet code requirements for bolt spacing?
- Yes. The CCO3 1/4 features bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements. Per the 2018 NDS section 12.1.3.2, bolt holes must be a minimum of 1/32" to a maximum of 1/16" larger than the bolt diameter, and should be drilled from one side all the way through the beam to maintain proper hole tolerances.
- Is the CCO3 1/4 suitable for high-wind or seismic applications?
- Yes. The CCO3 1/4 features enhanced uplift load capacity specifically increased to meet the demands of earthquake and wind loading conditions, making it appropriate for use in high-wind and seismic environments where elevated uplift performance is required.
