The Simpson Strong-Tie End Column Cap with Uplift 3/4 Bolt Rotated Straps ECCU 3/4ROT is engineered for end-of-beam column-beam connections where uplift resistance is required. The seat of the column cap extends beyond one side of the column, providing additional bearing surface area that helps distribute load from the beam and deliver reliable structural support at the connection point. With straps rotated 90 deg. from the standard orientation, this connector offers greater installation flexibility to suit varied structural layouts.

Key Features

• End-of-beam design with uplift resistance - purpose-built for column-beam connections at the end of a beam where uplift forces must be addressed, giving builders the correct hardware for demanding structural conditions.
• Seat extends beyond one side of the column - the extended bearing surface distributes load from the beam more effectively, reducing stress concentration and supporting connection integrity.
• Straps rotated 90 deg. from standard orientation - the rotated strap configuration provides greater installation flexibility, allowing the connector to adapt to varying structural layouts without compromising performance.
• Accommodates custom, special, and rough-cut lumber sizes - dimensions can be provided for non-standard lumber, and an optional W2 dimension may be specified, making this cap adaptable to a wide range of framing conditions.
• Optional W2 dimension available - allows further customization of the connection geometry, though the W2 dimension on straps rotated 90 deg. is limited by the W1 dimension, ensuring structural compatibility is maintained.

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for end-of-beam uplift applications - unlike a general-purpose column cap, this connector is designed from the ground up for end-of-beam column-to-beam connections that must resist uplift forces, so structural professionals get the right solution for a specialized and critical connection type.
• Extended seat for improved load distribution - the seat bearing beyond one side of the column means loads transfer across a greater surface area, supporting a more reliable and stable connection where it matters most.
• Rotated strap orientation adds real-world flexibility - the 90 deg. rotated straps let installers work with varying framing orientations and spatial constraints on the job site without requiring a non-standard workaround.
• Configurable for non-standard lumber dimensions - the ability to specify custom dimensions, including an optional W2 dimension, means this cap can serve structural connections involving rough-cut or non-standard lumber that would not work with a fixed off-the-shelf cap.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the ECCU 3/4ROT different from a standard column cap?

The ECCU is specifically designed for end-of-beam applications that require uplift resistance. Its seat extends beyond one side of the column to provide additional bearing surface area, which helps distribute loads more effectively than a standard column cap in these configurations.

What does the "ROT" designation mean in ECCU 3/4ROT?

The "ROT" designation indicates that the straps on this model have been rotated 90 deg. from the standard orientation. This rotated configuration offers greater installation flexibility depending on the structural layout of the connection.

Can the ECCU 3/4ROT be used with rough-cut or non-standard lumber?

Yes. For special, custom, or rough-cut lumber sizes, dimensions can be provided to configure the cap appropriately. An optional W2 dimension may also be specified, though the W2 dimension on straps rotated 90 deg. is limited by the W1 dimension.

Is the ECCU 3/4ROT a standard stock item?

The ECCU 3/4ROT is a custom, made-to-order product and is non-returnable..
