Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECCQ5-6SDS2.5 is an ECCQ End Column Cap engineered to deliver a high-capacity connection for column-beam combinations in end-of-beam wood construction applications. Designed for use with a 5-1/8 in. beam and a 6x post, this heavy-duty connector is manufactured from 3-gauge steel and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint for lasting durability. The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond the side of the column, helping to distribute load from the beam and provide reliable support for the connection.
Unlike traditional bolt-fastened connectors, the ECCQ5-6SDS2.5 utilizes Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - included in the box - for faster installation and attachment to a greater net section area of the column. Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are engineered and tested to perform and are manufactured to the highest quality standards, making them the choice of engineers and contractors for projects that demand strength, safety, and code compliance.
