Product Description
Simpson ECC46HDG ECC Hot-Dip Galvanized End Column Cap for 4x Beam, 6x 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. Built from 7-gauge steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this end column cap is well suited for exterior and treated-wood applications where corrosion resistance is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What lumber sizes does the ECC46HDG fit?
- The ECC46HDG is designed for use with a nominal 4x beam and a nominal 6x post, making it specifically suited for end-of-beam column-to-beam connections in those member sizes.
- Why is hot-dip galvanization important for this column cap?
- Hot-dip galvanization (HDG) provides extra corrosion resistance, making the ECC46HDG well suited for exterior applications and use with pressure-treated wood where standard coatings may not offer sufficient protection against moisture and chemicals.
- How is the ECC46HDG installed?
- The ECC46HDG is installed using (4) 5/8 in. diameter machine bolts. The bolt spacing is engineered to meet NDS code requirements, and diamond holes are included to allow for temporary fastening during the installation process.
- Is the ECC46HDG rated for high-wind or seismic conditions?
- Yes. The ECC46HDG features certified welds and increased uplift load values specifically to support performance under earthquake or wind loading conditions, providing added confidence in structurally demanding environments.
