CCQM/CCTQM/ECCLQM Column Caps for CMU and Concrete Piers

The new CCQM/CCTQM/ECCLQM embedded column caps are designed for use in raised-pier foundations and applications where heavy timbers rest on concrete or concrete-block columns. The heavy-gauge beam seats and unique SSTB anchor bolts provide the high uplift and lateral resistance needed to help resist high-wind events.

•Framing is fastened with Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® SDS wood screws (included) which install with no pre-drilling and feature a corrosion resistant double-barrier coating

•Hot-dip galvanized coating for corrosion resistance

•CCQM—Intended for use along a floor support beam and non-corner locations

•CCTQM—Also for use along a floor support beam and non-corner locations with a side stirrup that accommodates intermediate support beams coming in at 90°

• ECCLQM-KT—Intended for use at the corners with a strap to make the connection from the ECCLQM to the wall framing above

Material: 7 gauge

Finish: Hot-dip galvanized

Options:

•For variable widths on side stirrups specify W3 (3 1/4" - 5 1/2") and add an “X” to the end of the core model number. Example: CCTQM5.50X-SDSG W3 = 3 5/8"

•Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for other coating options

Notes:

1.The allowable loads have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed.

2. Total uplift load and lateral load is based on tested anchor failure in the pier.

3. Allowable loads are based on either a 16" square grout-filled CMU pier with f'm of 1500 psi or a 16" square CMU shell filled with 3000 psi concrete. A minimum of (4) #7 vertical rebars are required. The Designer shall design and detail the CMU/concrete pier to resist all forces including uplift, shear, and moment.

4. Pier height per Designer.

5.Side beam and main beam uplift loads assume DF members and are not additive.

6. The allowable loads listed for grout-filled CMU apply to solid concrete piers of 2500 psi concrete a minimum of 16" square.

7. The allowable loads listed for CMU shell-filled with 3000 psi concrete apply to solid concrete piers of 3000 psi concrete a minimum of 12" square.

8. The ECCLQM-KT is a kit packaged with (2) MSTQM straps and (32) SDS 1/4" x 2 1/2" screws. One strap may be installed on each face of the ECCLQM (as shown), using the SDS screws into the beams and 26-16dx2 1/2" nails (not provided) into the wall framing. The MSTQM strap's allowable tension load is 6240 lbs.
