The Simpson Strong-Tie ECC94ROT is an 8-3/4" Beam, 4X Post End Column Cap with Rotated Straps, engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in end-of-beam applications within 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 while providing firm, dependable support for the connection. Built from heavy-duty 3 gauge steel and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, the ECC94ROT is a precision-manufactured connector designed to meet the demands of structural wood framing.

Key Features

• Certified welds for confidence in strength and loading performance
• Increased uplift loads engineered for earthquake or wind loading conditions
• Bolt spacing meets NDS code requirements to ensure optimal structural performance
• Diamond holes to provide convenient temporary fastening during installation
• Seat design provides extended bearing surface area beyond one side of the column for superior load distribution
• Straps rotated 90 deg. for end-of-beam column cap configuration
• Finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint for durability

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the ECC94ROT different from a standard column cap?

The ECC94ROT features rotated straps - oriented 90 deg. - which configures it specifically for end-of-beam applications. This distinguishes it from standard column caps where the straps are not rotated, making the ECC94ROT the correct choice when the connection occurs at the end of a beam rather than at an interior point.

What fasteners are required to install the ECC94ROT?

Installation requires 3/4" machine bolts - four for the beam connection and two for the post connection. Using the specified fasteners is important for achieving the rated structural performance of the connector.

What material and finish is the ECC94ROT made from?

The ECC94ROT is constructed from heavy-duty 3 gauge steel and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint for durability. The welds are certified to provide confidence in strength and loading performance.

Is the ECC94ROT suitable for use in areas subject to earthquake or high-wind conditions?

Yes. The ECC94ROT is engineered with increased uplift loads specifically designed for earthquake or wind loading conditions, making it appropriate for use in areas where these forces must be accounted for in structural wood framing connections.
