The Simpson ECC76ROT 6-3/4 in. Beam 6x Post End Column Cap with Rotated Straps is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson built for end-of-beam column-to-beam connections in wood construction. Engineered with rotated straps and a precision-formed seat, this end column cap is designed to distribute load effectively from a 6-3/4 in. beam down through a 6x post, giving builders and contractors a reliable solution for structural assemblies where performance at the connection point is non-negotiable. Its 3 gauge steel construction and Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish deliver the durability required for demanding load-transfer applications, including those subject to elevated uplift forces from wind or seismic events.

Key Features

• Rotated strap configuration - allows the straps to be oriented to suit the specific demands of end-of-beam installations, giving installers greater flexibility in structural assemblies
• Certified welds - provide verified strength at every joint, so contractors can install with confidence in the connector's structural integrity
• Increased uplift load capacity - helps the connection resist the elevated forces generated by earthquake or wind loading, making this cap well-suited for code-sensitive projects in high-load zones
• Bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements - ensures the fastener layout is compliant right out of the box, reducing the risk of costly field corrections or inspection delays
• Diamond holes included - allow for temporary fastening during installation, keeping the connector positioned accurately while permanent bolts are set
• 3 gauge steel construction with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - delivers a robust, corrosion-resistant connector built to perform throughout the life of the structure
• Compatible with custom, special, or rough-cut lumber - configurable strap dimensions mean this cap can adapt to non-standard post and beam sizes, reducing the need to source additional hardware for atypical projects

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for end-of-beam column-to-beam connections - the rotated strap design and extended seat specifically address the unique load transfer demands of end-position applications, where a standard cap may fall short
• Engineered for high-uplift environments - with increased uplift load capacity built in, this connector is a practical choice for structures in regions prone to high winds or seismic activity, without requiring upgraded or specialty hardware
• Code-compliant bolt spacing out of the box - NDS-compliant fastener layout means fewer steps between installation and inspection approval, helping keep projects on schedule
• Adaptable to non-standard lumber dimensions - configurable strap options make this end column cap a versatile solution for projects involving custom or rough-cut timber, where rigid, fixed-dimension connectors would require workarounds

Frequently Asked Questions

What beam and post sizes is the ECC76ROT designed to work with?

The ECC76ROT is specifically designed for use with a 6-3/4" beam and a 6X post, making it suited for end-of-beam column-to-beam connections in wood construction applications.

What fasteners are required to install the ECC76ROT?

Installation requires 3/4" machine bolts - two for the beam connection and two for the post connection, for a total of four bolts.

What does the "rotated straps" feature mean on this end column cap?

The rotated strap configuration means the straps are oriented at 90 deg. relative to a standard end column cap, making this model specifically suited for end-of-beam applications where a versatile strap orientation is needed.

What material and finish is used on the ECC76ROT?

The ECC76ROT is constructed from 3 gauge steel and finished with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, providing a durable surface for structural use in wood construction assemblies.
