Product Description
The Simpson ECCQ76SDS2.5 ECCQ End Column Cap delivers a high-capacity connection for column-beam combinations in end-of-beam wood construction, purpose-built for pairing a 6-3/4 in. wide beam with a 6x post. Engineered and tested by Simpson Strong-Tie to meet the highest quality standards, this structural connector is the trusted choice of engineers and contractors for both residential and commercial building projects where a strong, reliable column-to-beam interface is required. Included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws mean the hardware you need is ready to go right out of the box.
Key Features
- Strong-Drive SDS screw installation - eliminates the need to source separate fasteners and speeds up the installation process, getting the job done faster without sacrificing connection strength.
- Greater net section area compared to bolts - SDS screws preserve more of the column's cross-section, maintaining the structural integrity of the post at the connection point.
- Lower-profile connection than standard through bolts - reduces protrusion at the joint for a cleaner finish and easier integration with surrounding materials.
- Heavy-duty 7-gauge steel construction - provides the rigidity and load-bearing capacity needed for demanding structural column-to-beam applications.
- Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - offers a consistent, finished appearance suitable for exposed structural connections in both residential and commercial settings.
Why This Product
- Everything needed for installation is included - the 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws come packaged with the cap, so there are no extra trips to source compatible fasteners before work can begin.
- Built for high-capacity structural demands - engineered specifically for end-of-beam column-to-beam connections, this cap is designed to handle the loads and performance requirements that engineers and contractors depend on in real-world construction.
- Faster, stronger fastening method over traditional bolts - SDS screw installation is quicker to drive than through bolts and results in a larger net section area at the post, meaning less material is displaced at the connection and the column retains more of its original strength.
- Manufactured to verified quality standards - Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are engineered, tested, and produced to exacting specifications, making this cap a code-compliant choice for projects where performance and accountability matter.
