Product Description
The Simpson CCTQM3.62-SDSG is a heavy-duty embedded column cap engineered for raised pier foundations and structural applications where heavy beams bear on concrete or concrete masonry unit (CMU) columns. Built from 7-gauge steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this T-shape cap delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and structural integrity in demanding environments. The heavy-gauge beam seat works in conjunction with Simpson Strong-Tie SSTB anchor bolts to deliver the high uplift and lateral resistance required to help structures withstand high-wind events. Designed specifically for non-corner, intermediate floor support beam locations, the CCTQM3.62-SDSG features a side stirrup that accommodates intersecting support beams at 90-degree angles - making it the go-to solution for complex raised-pier framing assemblies.
Key Features
- T-Shape Configuration: Side stirrup accommodates intermediate support beams at 90-degree angles for non-corner, along-beam locations.
- High Uplift & Lateral Resistance: Designed to help resist high-wind events through a heavy-gauge beam seat and SSTB anchor bolt compatibility.
- SDS Screw Configuration: Fastener placement is engineered to provide high uplift design values.
- Certified Welds: Welded construction meets certification standards for confidence in strength and load performance.
- SSTB Offset Design: Allows flush installation to the edge of the pier for clean, precise placement.
- Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) Finish: Provides superior corrosion protection for exterior and exposed applications.
- Heavy 7-Gauge Steel Construction: Delivers the structural mass required for heavy-beam bearing conditions.
- Configurable Options Available: Many beam and beam-to-beam combinations can be manufactured. Contact us for configurable options and special orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of foundation or column is this cap designed to work with?
- The CCTQM3.62-SDSG is designed for use with concrete masonry unit (CMU) columns and concrete piers, making it well suited for raised pier foundation applications where heavy beams bear on these column types.
- What makes this a "T-shape" cap, and when should it be used instead of a standard cap?
- The T-shape designation refers to the side stirrup that accommodates intersecting support beams at 90 deg. angles. This cap is intended for non-corner, intermediate floor support beam locations along a run of framing - not for corner positions - making it the appropriate choice when support beams meet at a mid-span pier location.
- What anchor bolt is this cap designed to be used with?
- The CCTQM3.62-SDSG is designed for use with Simpson Strong-Tie SSTB anchor bolts. The SSTB offset design allows the cap to be installed flush to the edge of the pier for clean, precise placement.
- What material and finish is this column cap made from, and why does it matter?
- This cap is constructed from 7-gauge steel and features a hot-dip galvanized (HDG) finish, which provides superior corrosion resistance. This makes it well suited for demanding environments where exposure to moisture or harsh conditions is a concern.
