CCQ/ECCQ Column Caps

    These products are available with additional corrosion protection. Additional products on this page may also be available with this option, check with Simpson Strong-Tie for details.

1. Uplift loads have been increased for wind or earthquake with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern.
2. Down loads may not be increased for short-term loading and shall not exceed the post capacity. See Post Capacities for common post allowable loads.
3. Uplift loads do not apply to splice conditions.
4. Spliced conditions must be detailed by the Designer to transfer tension loads between spliced members by means other than the column cap.
5. Column sides are assumed to be aligned in the same vertical plane as the beam sides. CCQ4.62 models assume a minimum 3 1/2" wide post.
6. Structural composite lumber columns have sides that show either the wide face or the edges of the lumber strands/veneers. Values in the tables reflect installation into the wide face. See technical bulletin T-C-SCLCLM for values on the narrow face (edge).
7. ECCQ uses 14 Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws into the beam and 14 Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws into the post.
8. Beam depth must be a minimum 7".
9. For 5 1/4" engineered lumber, use 5 1/2" models.
10. CCOQ and ECCOQ welded to steel column will achieve maximum load listed as CCQ and ECCQ. Steel column width shall match beam width. Weld by Designer.
