Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECC5 1/4-6 End Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications in wood construction. The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond one side of the column, helping to distribute the load from the beam and provide critical support for the connection. Built from heavy-duty 3-gauge steel with certified welds and a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish, the ECC5 1/4-6 is designed for use with a 5-1/8 in. beam and a nominal 6x post, making it a trusted solution for structural wood construction projects where end-of-column load transfer and uplift resistance are essential.
