Cap Plates

Choosing a cap plate is easy, but important. The IRC (International Residential Code) states under R502.9 Fastening (Floors) “…Where posts and beams or girder construction is used to support floor framing, positive connections shall be provided to ensure against uplift and lateral displacement.” There are a few ways to get positive connection from beam and column that support floors. Note that all column top plates have to be attached to beams using the appropriate screws or bolts. The traditional way of welding a plate to the column in the field can be time consuming and costly. Or with the Lally Lock Column and Lally Lock Plates the plate simply screws into the embedded fastening unit on one end of the column. Then the plate is fastened to the beam creating the required connection between the column and beam.

Whether you are looking for a standard plate or a plate to saddle a beam, we have a size a to meet any beam configuration.

This plate is made from 12-gauge low-carbon steel to wrap the sides of a beam. From the inside of the saddle, the walls are 4” high and extend the length of 11 ½” long along the beam. Eight 3/16” holes are cut out of each side of the saddle for bolting the saddle to the beam. Located in the center of the bottom of the saddle is a specially designed-hole for a bolt to connect the plate to the column. It comes in different size saddles to fit different beams.

Beam Plate with Ring

Similar to the Springfield plate. This plate has a welded ring that encompasses the top or base of a 3 ½” or 4” column. It is also similar to the lally lock beam plate as it has the same hole configurations. However, this plate has to be welded to the column. It comes in different size plates to fit different beams.
