The Simpson L-Shape End Column Cap, Skewed Right, for 3-1/4 in. Beams and 4x Post from Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in end-of-beam applications where two beams intersect in an "L" formation on top of a post. Built from heavy-duty 7-gauge steel with certified welds and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, this right-skewed column cap helps distribute load from intersecting beams while providing critical structural support at the connection point. Installation is streamlined with included 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which deliver a faster, lower-profile fastening method compared to standard through bolts - making this cap a practical choice for structural column-to-beam connections in L-formation framing.

Key Features

• Screw configuration optimized for high uplift design values - provides the structural resistance needed in demanding load conditions, giving builders confidence in connection performance.
• Certified welds throughout the assembly - ensures verified strength and consistent load-carrying capacity so installers can rely on the connection without additional inspection steps.
• Diamond holes for temporary fastening - allows the cap to be held in position during layout and alignment before final installation, reducing the chance of errors and saving time on the job.
• Right-side beam orientation (ECCLRQ series) - purpose-built for right-skewed L-formation applications, eliminating the guesswork of adapting a generic bracket to a specific geometry.
• Includes Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - arrives job-site ready with the required fasteners, reducing trips to the supply house and keeping installation moving efficiently.
• 7-gauge steel construction - heavy-duty material thickness delivers the rigidity and durability expected in structural post-to-beam connections.
• Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - provides a clean, professional appearance and baseline protection suited to covered and protected structural applications.

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for L-formation end-of-beam connections - rather than relying on a generic column cap, this product is designed around the exact geometry of a right-skewed, two-beam intersection on a single post, which means the fit, fastener placement, and load path are all purpose-matched to the application.
• SDS screws replace through bolts without sacrificing performance - the included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are configured to achieve high uplift design values while delivering a lower profile and faster installation, a meaningful advantage when working overhead or in tight framing conditions.
• Certified welds and heavy-gauge steel reduce reliance on supplemental hardware - the combination of 7-gauge steel and certified weld construction means this cap is designed to handle the structural demands of the connection on its own, generally eliminating the need for additional brackets or braces.
• Comes complete and ready to install - packaged with the required 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, this cap arrives as a complete fastening solution, so the connection can be completed without sourcing separate hardware.
