Product Description
Simpson Strong-Tie ECC3 1/4-4 End Column Cap is a heavy-duty connector engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in end-of-beam applications throughout wood construction. Designed for use with a 3-1/8" beam and a 4X post, this end column cap features an extended seat that provides additional bearing surface area beyond one side of the column, effectively distributing load from the beam and reinforcing the connection at critical end-of-beam points.
