Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECC96 End Column Cap is an engineered heavy-duty connector designed 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 the one side of the column, helping to distribute the load from the beam and provide reliable support for the connection. Built from robust 3-gauge steel with a durable Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish, the ECC96 is purpose-built for demanding structural applications where performance and code compliance are essential.
