6X BEAM, 6X POST SDS RETAIL
$191.32
Engineered for strength and stability, the ECCQ™ End Column Cap by Simpson Strong-Tie is a vital component for constructing robust connections between 6x beams and 6x posts. Crafted from durable 7-gauge steel and featuring certified welds, this cap ensures reliable load-bearing capability, making it suitable for applications subjected to earthquake or wind loads. The inclusion of Strong-Drive® SDS screws offers a sleek, lower profile compared to standard through bolts, while diamond holes facilitate temporary fastening, enhancing the ease of installation. Finished with a protective gray paint, this column cap not only meets functional requirements but also seamlessly integrates into any structural design, delivering peace of mind in both residential and commercial projects.
Description
The ECCQ is designed to provide strong column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications in wood construction. The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond the side of the column. The extended bearing surface helps distribute the load from the beam and provide support for the connection. The ECCQ uses Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for fast installation and to attach to a greater net section area of the column than a bolt attachment normally entails.
