Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECCLRQ444HDG is an L-Shape End Column Cap engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications where two beams intersect in an "L" formation on top of a column. Designed for 4x main beam, 4x post, and 4x side beam configurations with the side beam oriented to the right, this cap helps distribute load from the beams and provides robust support for the connection. Built from heavy-duty 7-gauge steel with a hot-dip galvanized (HDG) finish, it is well suited for exterior and treated-wood applications where superior corrosion resistance is required. Simpson Strong-Tie column caps are engineered to accommodate a wide range of projects, generally eliminating the need for additional brackets or braces. Installation is streamlined through the use of included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which deliver faster installation and a lower profile than standard through bolts.

Options
- Contact us for Configurable Options and Special orders
- Many combinations of beam and post sizes can be manufactured (refer to worksheet Options for Multiple-Beam Column Caps).
- Available in widths up to 8" wide.
- ECCLQ is available in left or right side beam orientations. Specify ECCLLQ or ECCLRQ.

- Column caps may be ordered without the column straps for field welding to a steel column, full loads apply for the beam and the post cap. Specify "No Straps" when ordering. Weld by designer. These models have no coating.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What beam and post sizes is the ECCLRQ444HDG designed to fit?
- This column cap is designed for nominal 4x main beam, 4x post, and 4x side beam configurations, making it suited for end-of-beam applications where two beams intersect in an "L" formation on top of a column.
- What fasteners are included, and how are they installed?
- The ECCLRQ444HDG includes 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (Model: SDS25212). These screws provide faster installation and a lower profile than standard through bolts, and are configured to deliver high uplift design values.
- What is the difference between the ECCLRQ444HDG and the ECCLLQ model?
- The ECCLRQ444HDG has the side beam oriented to the right, making it suitable for right-side beam applications. If your project requires a left-side beam orientation, you should order the ECCLLQ model instead.
- Is this column cap suitable for exterior or treated-wood applications?
- Yes. The ECCLRQ444HDG is made from 7-gauge steel with a hot-dip galvanized (HDG) finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance, making it well suited for exterior and treated-wood applications.
