Product Description
The Simpson ECCLQM3.62G-KT is an L-shaped end column cap engineered for raised pier foundations and heavy-timber construction where large beams or timbers bear on concrete or concrete masonry unit (CMU) columns. Built from 7-gauge steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this embedded column cap delivers the high uplift and lateral resistance required to help structures withstand high-wind events. The L-shaped corner configuration is specifically designed for placement at building corners, where structural demands are greatest, and the kit includes Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws and MSTQM straps so every critical connection in the assembly is ready to install from a single package.
Key Features
- SSTB offset geometry allows flush installation to the edge of the pier - eliminates setback concerns at corner piers and keeps the column cap correctly positioned without field modifications.
- SSTBs spaced to fit in standard CMU cells - anchor bolts align with existing concrete masonry unit cell spacing so no custom layout or special block cutting is needed.
- Screws pre-configured to provide high uplift design values - the engineered fastener pattern gives builders and engineers predictable, code-confidence load performance without guesswork on screw placement.
- Certified welds throughout the assembly - weld quality is independently verified, giving inspectors and engineers confidence in the structural integrity of every load path.
- Includes MSTQM straps for the column cap-to-wall framing connection - the 12-gauge, 3 in. x 48 in. straps complete the full load path from pier to framing so no additional strap hardware needs to be sourced separately.
- Includes Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws that install with no pre-drilling - the corrosion-resistant double-barrier coating on the included screws speeds up installation while providing lasting durability in exterior and treated-wood applications.
- Hot-dip galvanized finish provides extra corrosion resistance - HDG coating is suited for exterior exposures and direct contact with pressure-treated lumber, making this cap a sound long-term choice in demanding environments.
- 7-gauge steel construction with a 3-5/8 in. main channel and matching side stirrup widths - heavy-gauge steel sized for standard timber dimensions provides the beam seat strength required in high-wind-zone pier foundation applications.
Why This Product
- A complete corner-specific kit that addresses the most demanding position in a pier foundation - the L-shaped configuration is purpose-built for building corners where uplift and lateral forces are highest, and the included SDS screws and MSTQM straps mean every component of the connection arrives together.
- Engineered for high-wind resistance from anchor bolt to wall framing - the combination of SSTB anchor bolt geometry, certified welds, and a pre-configured SDS screw pattern creates a continuous, tested load path that helps structures resist high-wind events at the column-to-beam interface.
- Designed to fit standard construction without field modifications - SSTB spacing that aligns with standard CMU cells and flush pier-edge installation capability reduce layout complexity and keep the installation on schedule.
- Hot-dip galvanized steel built for exterior and treated-wood environments - HDG finish and the double-barrier coated SDS screws together resist the corrosion that can degrade structural connections in exposed, high-moisture, or chemically treated-wood applications over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is included in the ECCLQM3.62G-KT kit?
- The kit includes 32 pieces of 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws and 2 pieces of 12-gauge, 3 in. x 48 in. MSTQM straps. The MSTQM straps are used to complete the structural connection from the ECCLQM column cap to the wall framing, and the SDS screws install with no pre-drilling required.
- Where is this column cap intended to be installed?
- The ECCLQM3.62G-KT is specifically designed for use at building corners in raised pier foundation applications. Its L-shaped configuration makes it the correct choice for end-column positions where heavy timbers rest on concrete or concrete masonry unit (CMU) columns.
- What corrosion protection does this column cap have, and is it suitable for exterior or treated-wood use?
- This column cap features a hot-dip galvanized (HDG) finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance. This makes it suitable for exterior applications and use with treated wood, where exposure to moisture and corrosive preservatives is a concern.
- What are the key dimensions and material specs for this column cap?
- The ECCLQM3.62G-KT is constructed from 7-gauge steel and features a 3-5/8 in. main channel width and matching 3-5/8 in. side stirrup width. The main channel length is 11-1/2 in. The SSTB anchor bolt spacing is designed to fit within standard CMU cells, and the SSTB offset geometry allows flush installation to the edge of the pier.
