Product Description
Simpson ECC44HDG ECC Hot-Dip Galvanized End Column Cap for 4x Beam, 4x Post by Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered 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 one side of the column, helping to distribute the load from the beam and provide reliable support for the connection. The hot-dip galvanized finish makes this connector well suited for exterior and treated-wood applications where enhanced corrosion resistance is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the ECC44HDG designed to do?
- The ECC44HDG End Column Cap 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 one side of the column, helping to distribute the load from the beam and support the connection.
- What lumber sizes does the ECC44HDG fit?
- The ECC44HDG is designed for a nominal 4x beam width and a nominal 4x post size, making it compatible with standard 4x dimensional lumber members.
- Why is the hot-dip galvanized finish important?
- Hot-dip galvanization (HDG) provides extra corrosion resistance, making the ECC44HDG suitable for exterior applications and use with treated wood where standard finishes may not offer adequate protection against the elements or chemical exposure.
- Is the ECC44HDG rated for seismic and high-wind conditions?
- Yes. The ECC44HDG features uplift loads increased for earthquake or wind loading, along with certified welds and bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements, ensuring the connector performs reliably under demanding structural conditions.
