The Simpson Strong-Tie ECCLQM4.62G-KT is a heavy-duty, L-shaped end column cap engineered for raised pier foundations and structural applications where heavy beams bear down on concrete or concrete block columns. Designed specifically for building corners, this embedded column cap delivers exceptional uplift and lateral resistance to help protect structures during high-wind events. The heavy-gauge beam seat works in concert with Simpson Strong-Tie SSTB anchor bolts to form a robust, code-compliant connection. Finished in hot-dip galvanization over 7-gauge steel, the ECCLQM4.62G-KT offers lasting corrosion resistance in demanding environments. This kit includes MSTQM straps and screws for a complete, ready-to-install solution connecting the column cap to wall framing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of foundation is the ECCLQM4.62G-KT designed for?

This column cap is designed specifically for raised pier foundations, including applications with GFCMU (glass-fiber concrete masonry unit) columns and concrete piers. It is intended for use at building corners where heavy beams bear down on concrete or concrete block columns.

What is included in the ECCLQM4.62G-KT kit?

The kit includes the L-shaped end column cap itself, MSTQM straps, and screws. Together, these components provide a complete, ready-to-install solution that connects the column cap to wall framing and delivers high uplift design values.

What anchor bolts are compatible with the ECCLQM4.62G-KT?

The ECCLQM4.62G-KT is designed to work in concert with Simpson Strong-Tie SSTB anchor bolts. The SSTB offset allows for flush installation to the edge of the pier, and the SSTBs are spaced to fit standard CMU cells.

What material and finish does the ECCLQM4.62G-KT use for corrosion protection?

The ECCLQM4.62G-KT is constructed from heavy 7-gauge steel and finished with a hot-dip galvanized coating, providing long-term corrosion resistance suited for demanding environments.
