Simpson ECCLRQ464HDG - HDG L-Shape End Column Cap for 4x Beam & 6x Post (Right) with SDS Screws

Key Features

• High Uplift Design Values: Screws are strategically configured to maximize uplift resistance at the column-beam connection.
• Certified Welds: Each weld is certified, providing confidence in structural strength and load-bearing performance.
• Diamond Holes for Temporary Fastening: Diamond-shaped holes allow for quick, temporary fastening during installation before final fasteners are set.
• Right-Side Beam Orientation: Side beam is oriented to the right; for left-side beam orientation, order the ECCLLQ model.
• Correct Member Sizing: Nominal member sizes are 4x main beam, 6x post, and 4x side beam - no additional brackets or braces typically required.
• 7-Gauge Steel Construction: Heavy-gauge steel provides the durability and strength required for demanding structural connections.
• Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) Finish: Provides superior corrosion resistance, making this cap well-suited for exterior applications and use with treated lumber.

Frequently Asked Questions

What member sizes is the ECCLRQ464HDG designed to fit?

This column cap is designed for a 4x main beam, a 6x post, and a 4x side beam. It is intended for end-of-beam applications where two beams intersect in an "L" formation on top of a column, generally eliminating the need for additional brackets or braces.

What fasteners are required for installation, and are they included?

This column cap installs with 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (Model: SDS25212). These screws are included with the product. The SDS screws provide faster installation and a lower profile than standard through bolts, and are configured to provide high uplift design values.

Is this column cap suitable for exterior or treated-wood applications?

Yes. The ECCLRQ464HDG features hot-dip galvanization (HDG), which offers extra corrosion resistance, making it suitable for exterior and treated-wood applications.

What is the difference between the ECCLRQ and ECCLLQ models?

The difference is the orientation of the side beam. The ECCLRQ model (this product) has the side beam oriented to the right. If you need the side beam oriented to the left, you would order the ECCLLQ model instead.
