The Simpson Strong-Tie ECCLR444TC is a 4x4 H1&H2=6.5 Tall Corner L-Shape End Column Cap (Right) 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 column. When properly installed, this right-skewed end column cap helps distribute load from the beams and provides critical structural support at the connection point. Fabricated from steel with a Simpson Strong-Tie Gray paint finish and manufactured in the United States, the ECCLR444TC is built to perform in demanding structural applications.

Key Features

• Certified Welds: Provides confidence in strength and loading performance at every connection point.
• NDS Code-Compliant Bolt Spacing: Bolt spacing meets National Design Specification (NDS) code requirements to ensure optimal structural performance.
• Diamond Holes: Included to allow for convenient temporary fastening during installation.
• L-Shape End Configuration: Specifically designed for end-of-beam applications where two beams meet in an "L" formation atop a column.
• Right-Hand Orientation: Skewed right to accommodate specific directional framing layouts.
• Steel Construction with Gray Paint Finish: Durable Simpson Strong-Tie Gray painted steel for lasting performance.

Approved Applications

• End-of-beam column-to-beam connections where two beams intersect in an "L" formation on top of a column

• Load distribution from beams to post in L-shaped framing assemblies
• Applications requiring 4x beam and 4x post sizing with a 6.5" tall stirrup height

Options

• Many combinations of beam and post sizes can be manufactured. Refer to worksheet Options for Multiple-Beam, Bolted Column Caps.
• Contact us for Configurable Options and Special orders
  
• The download shall be determined from the allowable loads for the unmodified product (see ECC column caps). The side beam can take a maximum of 40% of the download and shall not exceed 10,665 lb. The sum of the loads for the side beam(s) and main beam cannot exceed the table load.
• Uplift loads do not apply for ECCL caps.
• The column width in the direction of the main beam width must be the same as the main beam width (W1).
• Specify the stirrup height from the top of the cap. The minimum side stirrup heights (H2 or H3) is 6 1/2" (3 1/2" for models ending in "44").
• The L dimension may vary depending on the width of the side stirrup (W3 or W4).
• Column caps may be ordered without the column straps for field welding to a steel column. Specify "No Straps" when ordering. Weld by designer. Full loads apply for the beam and the post cap.

Frequently Asked Questions

What column and beam sizes is the ECCLR444TC designed to fit?

The ECCLR444TC is designed for use with a 4x post and 4x beams. The stirrup height (H1 & H2) is 6.5 inches, which accommodates the tall corner configuration of this cap.

What does the "Right" orientation mean, and how do I know if I need a right-hand cap?

The "Right" designation indicates that this column cap is skewed to the right, meaning it is intended for framing layouts where the L-shape configuration opens to the right. When selecting between left- and right-hand versions, consider the directional orientation of your beam layout as viewed from above to ensure you choose the correct version for your application.

What type of application is this column cap designed for?

The ECCLR444TC is engineered specifically for end-of-beam applications where two beams meet at a 90 deg. "L" formation on top of a column. It is not intended for interior column positions where beams run continuously in multiple directions, but rather for end or corner locations where the L-shape configuration is required.

What construction standards does the ECCLR444TC meet, and what features support proper installation?

The ECCLR444TC features NDS code-compliant bolt spacing that meets National Design Specification requirements, as well as certified welds for reliable strength and load performance at every connection point. It also includes diamond holes to allow for convenient temporary fastening during installation, making alignment easier before final bolting.
