Product Description
Simpson ECCQ46-SDS2.5HDG ECCQ HDG End Column Cap for 4x Beam, 6x Post, with Strong-Drive SDS Screws is a Simpson Strong-Tie engineered column cap designed to provide strong, reliable column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications in wood construction. Built from 7-gauge steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this end column cap delivers outstanding corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications, making it an ideal solution for demanding structural connections.
Key Features
- The SDS screws provide a lower profile than standard through bolts
- Certified welds for confidence in strength and loading
- Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake or wind loading
- Diamond holes for temporary fastening
- Nominal beam width: 4x
- Nominal post size: 6x
- Made from 7-gauge steel
- Hot-dip galvanization (HDG) offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
- The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond the side of the column, helping distribute load from the beam and provide support for the connection
- Uses Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for fast installation and attachment to a greater net section area of the column than a bolt attachment normally entails

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the ECCQ46-SDS2.5HDG suitable for exterior and treated-wood applications?
- This column cap features a hot-dip galvanized (HDG) finish, which offers extra corrosion resistance specifically designed for exterior environments and applications involving treated wood, where standard finishes may deteriorate over time.
- Why are Strong-Drive SDS screws used instead of standard through bolts?
- The Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws provide a lower profile than standard through bolts and allow attachment to a greater net section area of the column, resulting in a faster installation process and a strong, reliable connection.
- How does the ECCQ column cap help distribute structural loads?
- The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond the side of the column. This extended bearing surface helps distribute the load from the beam and provide support for the connection, making it well suited for end-of-beam applications in wood construction.
- Is this column cap engineered for areas prone to earthquakes or high winds?
- Yes. The ECCQ46-SDS2.5HDG features uplift loads that have been increased for earthquake or wind loading, and certified welds provide confidence in strength and loading performance under these demanding conditions.
