Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECC44ROT is an end column cap engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications for wood construction. Featuring rotated straps at 90 deg., this heavy-gauge connector provides an extended bearing seat that projects beyond one side of the column, effectively distributing beam loads across a broader surface area for a more balanced and secure connection. Designed for use with 4x beams and 4x posts, the ECC44ROT combines certified weld quality, code-compliant bolt spacing, and enhanced uplift resistance to meet the demands of both everyday structural loads and high-stress seismic or wind events.
Key Features
- Certified Welds: Certified welds for confidence in strength and loading
- Enhanced Uplift Resistance: Uplift loads increased for earthquake or wind loading
- Code-Compliant Bolt Spacing: Bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements to ensure optimal performance
- Diamond Holes: Diamond holes to provide temporary fastening during installation
- Extended Bearing Seat: The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond one side of the column
- Rotated Straps: Straps rotated 90 deg. for end-of-beam column cap configurations
