Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECCQ46SS-SDS2.5 is a heavy-duty stainless steel end column cap engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in end-of-beam applications within wood construction. Fabricated from 7-gauge stainless steel with a stainless steel finish, this connector is built to withstand demanding structural and environmental conditions. The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond the side of the column, helping distribute the load from the beam and providing superior support for the connection. Designed for a 4x beam and 6x post, the ECCQ46SS-SDS2.5 arrives complete with all required 1/4" x 2-1/2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for a fast, efficient installation process.
Key Features
- Designed to provide strong column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications in wood construction
- Extended bearing seat distributes load from the beam beyond the side of the column for superior support
- Constructed from 7-gauge stainless steel with a stainless steel finish for corrosion resistance
- SDS screws provide a lower profile than standard through bolts
- Certified welds for confidence in strength and load performance
- Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake or wind loading
- Diamond holes for temporary fastening during installation
- SDS screws attach to a greater net section area of the column than a bolt attachment normally provides
- Made in the United States

What's Included
- 1x ECCQ46SS-SDS2.5 Stainless Steel End Column Cap
- 14x 1/4" x 2-1/2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector Screws (Beam)
- 14x 1/4" x 2-1/2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector Screws (Post)
Installation
Fasten with the included 1/4" x 2-1/2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which are provided with the column cap. A total of 14 screws are used for the beam connection and 14 screws are used for the post connection. The SDS screws deliver a low-profile installation compared to standard through bolts while engaging a greater net section area of the column for enhanced structural performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What beam and post sizes is the ECCQ46SS-SDS2.5 designed to fit?
- This end column cap is designed specifically for use with a 4x beam and a 6x post, making it suitable for heavy-duty wood construction connections where those lumber dimensions are used.
- What material and gauge is this column cap made from?
- The ECCQ46SS-SDS2.5 is fabricated from 7-gauge stainless steel with a stainless steel finish, providing strong corrosion resistance for demanding structural and environmental conditions.
- Are fasteners included, and what type are they?
- Yes, the column cap arrives complete with all required 1/4" x 2-1/2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws. These screws provide a lower profile than standard through bolts and attach to a greater net section area of the column than a bolt attachment normally provides.
- What is the purpose of the extended bearing seat on this column cap?
- The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond the side of the column. This helps distribute the load from the beam more effectively and provides superior support for the connection in end-of-beam applications.
