The Simpson ECCLLQMD3.62-KT End Column Cap (Left) L-Shaped is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered for raised pier foundations where substantial beams bear on concrete or concrete masonry unit (CMU) columns. Designed with a left-oriented beam configuration and an additional seat to support a third member at the corner connection, this L-shaped cap is ideal for attaching perimeter deck joists or beams. Built from 7-gauge steel and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, this kit incorporates MSTQM straps and screws along with Simpson Strong-Tie SSTB anchor bolts to deliver exceptional uplift and lateral resistance - helping structures withstand demanding high-wind events. The ECCLLQMD3.62-KT is manufactured in the United States and is suited for applications requiring certified weld integrity and proven load performance at column-to-beam connections.

Key Features

• L-Shaped Corner Connection: Incorporates an additional seat to support a third member at the corner, ideal for perimeter deck joist or beam attachment.
• Left Beam Orientation: Specifically configured for left-side beam placement at column cap connections.
• MSTQM Straps Included: Straps create a secure connection from the ECCLQMD body to the wall framing.
• High Uplift Screw Configuration: Screws are specifically arranged to provide high uplift design values critical for wind-resistance performance.
• Certified Welds: All welds are certified for confidence in structural strength and consistent load performance.
• Flush SSTB Installation: The SSTB offset design allows flush installation to the edge of the pier for a clean, precise fit.
• CMU-Compatible Anchor Bolt Spacing: SSTBs are spaced to fit standard CMU cells, simplifying installation on concrete block columns.
• Heavy-Gauge Construction: Fabricated from 7-gauge steel with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish for durability.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States to Simpson Strong-Tie quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of foundations or columns is the ECCLLQMD3.62-KT designed to work with?

This end column cap is engineered for raised pier foundations where beams bear on concrete or concrete masonry unit (CMU) columns, making it suitable for applications involving GFCMU and concrete piers.

What makes this an "L-shaped" cap, and why does that matter for installation?

The L-shaped design incorporates an additional seat to support a third member at the corner connection, which makes it especially well-suited for attaching perimeter deck joists or beams at column cap connections where a standard cap would not accommodate the extra framing member.

What components are included in the ECCLLQMD3.62-KT kit?

The kit includes MSTQM straps and screws along with Simpson Strong-Tie SSTB anchor bolts. The MSTQM straps create a secure connection from the ECCLQMD body to the wall framing, while the screws are specifically arranged to provide high uplift design values for wind-resistance performance.

What material and finish is this column cap made from?

The ECCLLQMD3.62-KT is built from 7-gauge steel and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint. All welds are certified for structural strength and consistent load performance.
