Product Overview
CCTQM5.50-SDS Column Cap “T” Configuration for GFCMU and Concrete Piers
The CCTQM 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 CCTQM is for use along a floor support beam and non-corner locations with a side stirrup to accommodate intermediate support beams at 90° angles.
Key Features
- Screws are configured to provide high uplift design values
- Certified welds for confidence in strength and loading
- SSTB offset allows flush installation to edge of pier
- SSTBs spaced to fit standard CMU cells
Material
- 7 gauge
Finish
- Hot-dip galvanized or Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint; see Corrosion Information
Installation
- Install 1/4" x 2 1/2" Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (provided) in all round holes. (Lag screws will not achieve the same load.)
- Min. (4) #7 vertical rebar (total for pier).
- No additional welding is allowed.
Options
- Available in widths up to nominal 7-1/8" width.
- For variable widths on side stirrups, specify W3 (3 1/4" to 7 1/8") and add an “X” to the end of the core model name. Example: CCTQM5.50X-SDSG, W3 = 3 5/8".
Ordering Information
- Configurations for many different beams or beam-to-beam combinations can be manufactured (refer to worksheet Options for Column Caps for Concrete-Filled Pilasters, Grout-Filled CMU or Concrete Piers, T-C-CCQM-WS).
