Simpson Strong-Tie CCQ5-8SDS2.5 CCQ™ Column Cap for 5-1/8 in. Beam, 8x Post with Strong-Drive® SDS Screws
Product Description
Simpson Strong-Tie® column caps come in a variety of sizes to accommodate any project, generally eliminating the need for additional brackets or braces. The CCQ™ is designed to provide strong column-beam connections in wood construction. The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond each side of the column. The extended bearing surface helps distribute the load from the beam and provide support for the connection. The CCQ uses Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for fast installation and to attach to a greater net section area of the column than a bolt attachment normally entails.
