Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECCQ4.62-5.50HDG is a Hot-Dip Galvanized End Column Cap engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications in wood construction. Designed for a triple 2x beam and 6x post, the ECCQ features an extended seat that provides additional bearing surface area beyond the side of the column - helping to effectively distribute load from the beam and reinforce the overall connection. Built from 7-gauge steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this column cap is built for demanding exterior and treated-wood environments where corrosion resistance is critical. Simpson Strong-Tie column caps come in a variety of sizes to accommodate virtually any project, generally eliminating the need for additional brackets or braces. The ECCQ is factory-supplied with Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for fast installation and superior engagement with the column's net section area - outperforming standard bolt attachments in both profile and holding power.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What beam and post sizes is the ECCQ4.62-5.50HDG designed to fit?
- This column cap is designed for a triple 2x beam and a 6x post, making it suitable for heavier structural connections in end-of-beam applications in wood construction.
- What fasteners are included, and how many are required for installation?
- The ECCQ4.62-5.50HDG includes 28 Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws measuring 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. (Model: SDS25212). These screws provide a lower profile than standard through bolts and attach to a greater net section area of the column than a bolt attachment normally entails.
- Is this column cap suitable for exterior or treated-wood applications?
- Yes. The ECCQ4.62-5.50HDG features a hot-dip galvanized (HDG) finish, which offers extra corrosion resistance specifically for exterior and treated-wood applications where exposure to moisture or chemical treatment is a concern.
- What is the steel gauge of this column cap, and does it feature certified welds?
- The ECCQ4.62-5.50HDG is made from 7-gauge steel. It features certified welds for confidence in strength and loading, and its uplift loads have been increased to account for earthquake or wind loading conditions.
