Description
The CCTQ is designed to provide strong column-to-beam connections when there are two beams in a “T” formation on top of a column. When properly installed, this column cap helps to distribute the load from bisecting beams and provides support for the connection.
The CCTQ uses Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws to provide faster installation and a lower profile than standard through bolts and is special-ordered per specific details from the designer to accommodate the many combinations of beam and post sizes.
