The CCTQM embedded column cap is designed for use in raised pier foundations and applications where heavy timbers 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-degrees angles.
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
5-1/2-in main channel and side stirrup widths
13-1/2-in main channel length
Made from 7-gauge steel
Hot-dip galvanization (HDG) offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
Fasten with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (included), which install with no pre-drilling and feature a corrosion resistant double-barrier coating
