Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECCQ64HDG-SDS is a Hot-Dip Galvanized End Column Cap engineered to provide a high-capacity connection for 6x beam and 4x post column-beam combinations in end-of-beam wood construction applications. 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 support the connection. Designed, tested, and manufactured to the highest quality standards, this connector is the trusted choice of engineers and contractors for projects requiring both strength and code compliance. Included 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws deliver faster installation and a lower-profile finish compared to standard through-bolt connections.
