Product Description
The Simpson ECCLLQMD5.50-KT End Column Cap (Left) is an L-shaped embedded column cap engineered for demanding raised pier foundation applications where heavy beams bear directly on concrete or concrete block (GFCMU) columns. Built from heavy-gauge steel and finished with Simpson Strong-Tie Gray paint, this left-hand configuration delivers exceptional uplift and lateral resistance to help structures withstand high-wind events. The L-shaped design incorporates an additional seat at the corner connection, making it ideal for simultaneously supporting a main beam and a perimeter deck joist or beam. The kit arrives complete with MSTQM straps and screws, providing everything needed for a verified, code-compliant connection right out of the box.

- Available in widths up to nominal 7-1/8" width.
- For variable widths on side stirrups, specify W3 (3 1/4" to 7 1/8") and add an "X" to the end of the core model name. Example: ECCLQMD5.50GX-KT, W3 = 3 5/8".
- ECCLQMD is available in left or right side beam orientations. Specify ECCLLQMD or ECCLRQMD.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What types of columns or piers is this end column cap designed to work with?
- The ECCLLQMD5.50-KT is engineered specifically for use with concrete block (GFCMU) columns and concrete piers, making it well-suited for raised pier foundation applications where heavy beams bear directly on these column types.
- What does the L-shaped configuration allow that a standard end column cap does not?
- The L-shaped corner design incorporates an additional seat at the corner connection, which allows the cap to simultaneously support a main beam and a perimeter deck joist or beam - effectively connecting a third member at the same location.
- What is included in the kit, and does it provide everything needed for installation?
- Yes, the kit arrives complete with MSTQM straps and screws, providing everything needed for a verified, code-compliant connection right out of the box. The screws are configured to provide high uplift design values, and the MSTQM straps make the connection from the ECCLLQMD to the wall framing.
- What are the main beam and side stirrup width dimensions for this model?
- The main channel width (W1) is 5 1/2 in., and the side stirrup widths (W3 and W4) are also 5 1/2 in. The main channel length (L1) is 16 1/2 in.
