Product Overview
CCCQM5.50-SDSG Cross Column Cap for GFCMU and Concrete Piers
The CCCQM embedded column cap is designed for use in raised pier foundations and applications where heavy beams rest on concrete or concrete block columns. The heavy-gauge beam seat and unique Simpson Strong-Tie® SSTB® anchor bolts provide the high uplift and lateral resistance needed to help resist high-wind events. The CCCQM is for use along a floor support beam with a stirrup on each side of the main channel to accommodate intermediate support beams at 90° angles.
