Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECC44TC End Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in end-of-beam applications for wood construction. Designed specifically for 4X beam and 4X post configurations with an H1 dimension of 6.5, this end column cap features a seat that provides additional surface area of bearing extending beyond one side of the column. This extended bearing seat helps distribute load from the beam efficiently while providing robust support for the overall connection - making it an ideal solution for structural framing applications where end-of-beam column cap performance is critical.
Key Features
- Certified welds for confidence in strength and loading
- Uplift loads increased for earthquake or wind loading
- Bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements to ensure optimal performance
- Diamond holes to provide temporary fastening
- Extended bearing seat distributes load from the beam beyond one side of the column
- Designed specifically for end-of-beam column cap applications in wood construction

Frequently Asked Questions
- What beam and post sizes is the ECC44TC designed to fit?
- The ECC44TC is designed specifically for 4X beam and 4X post configurations, with an H1 dimension of 6.5.
- What fasteners are required to install the ECC44TC?
- Installation requires 5/8" machine bolts - one for the beam and two for the post.
- What makes the ECC44TC suitable for end-of-beam applications specifically?
- The ECC44TC features an extended bearing seat that provides additional surface area of bearing extending beyond one side of the column. This design distributes load from the beam efficiently at beam ends, making it appropriate for end-of-beam column cap connections rather than interior column cap applications.
- Is the ECC44TC rated for seismic or high-wind loading conditions?
- Yes. The ECC44TC is engineered with increased uplift loads for earthquake or wind loading, and its certified welds and bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements help ensure reliable performance in demanding structural applications.
