Simpson Strong-Tie BCS2-3/6 - Galvanized Post Cap for Double 3X Beam, 6X Post

Q: The description says, "for the connection of 2-2x's to a 4x post or 3-2x's to a 6x post". Which one is this one for? Picture shows 2-2x to a 4x post

BCS2-3/6 is for 3-2"x to a 6"x6" post.

Q: Can I use this to attach 6x6 post to a 6*6 post at 90 degree angle ?

No. This tie is for attaching a 6x6 post to a beam made up of 3 2x's

Q: I need to set a double 2x8 beam on top of and attached to a 6x6 post. Will this do it?

This is for a triple 2x8 beam on a 6x6 post. You could make it work but I am not sure it would meet code.
