The Simpson ECCLLQMD3.62-KT End Column Cap Left L-Shaped is a heavy-duty structural connector built for raised pier foundations where substantial beams bear on concrete or concrete masonry unit (CMU) columns. Its left-oriented, L-shaped design includes an additional seat to support a third structural member at the corner connection, making it well suited for perimeter deck joists and beams at column cap locations. The kit pairs the ECCLLQMD3.62 end column cap with MSTQM straps and screws, delivering a complete, high-uplift connection solution for GFCMU and standard concrete pier applications.

Key Features

• Left-oriented L-shaped beam configuration - positions the cap correctly for corner column connections, allowing a third structural member to be supported without additional hardware or custom fabrication.
• Compatible with GFCMU and concrete piers - provides verified performance across both glass fiber composite masonry unit columns and standard concrete pier foundations, reducing guesswork on mixed-material job sites.
• 7-gauge steel construction - delivers the material strength needed to handle heavy beam-to-column connections in demanding raised pier foundation applications.
• Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish - provides a protective coating that helps guard the steel connector against corrosion during and after installation.
• Kit includes MSTQM straps and screws - supplies the components required for a high-uplift connection in a single purchase, helping installers avoid sourcing compatible hardware separately.
• Engineered for high-wind resistance - supports certified uplift and lateral load values, making this cap a reliable choice for structures in high-wind regions that require documented performance.

Why This Product

• A complete, kit-based connection solution - the MSTQM straps and screws are included with the cap, so the critical components for a certified high-uplift pier-to-beam connection arrive together and ready to install.
• Purpose-built for corner column cap applications - the L-shaped body with its integrated third-member seat addresses a specific structural challenge at perimeter corners that a standard column cap cannot resolve.
• Trusted Simpson engineering - this connector carries the verified uplift and lateral resistance values that engineers and inspectors require for raised pier foundations in code-compliant construction.
• Broad column compatibility - acceptance on both GFCMU and concrete pier columns gives contractors and builders flexibility across different foundation types without switching to a different connector family.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of foundations or columns is the ECCLLQMD3.62-KT designed to work with?

This end column cap is engineered for raised pier foundations where beams bear on concrete or concrete masonry unit (CMU) columns, making it suitable for applications involving GFCMU and concrete piers.

What makes this an "L-shaped" cap, and why does that matter for installation?

The L-shaped design incorporates an additional seat to support a third member at the corner connection, which makes it especially well-suited for attaching perimeter deck joists or beams at column cap connections where a standard cap would not accommodate the extra framing member.

What components are included in the ECCLLQMD3.62-KT kit?

The kit includes MSTQM straps and screws along with Simpson Strong-Tie SSTB anchor bolts. The MSTQM straps create a secure connection from the ECCLQMD body to the wall framing, while the screws are specifically arranged to provide high uplift design values for wind-resistance performance.

What material and finish is this column cap made from?

The ECCLLQMD3.62-KT is built from 7-gauge steel and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint. All welds are certified for structural strength and consistent load performance.
