Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECC66ROT 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 load from the beam and provide critical support for the connection. Designed for 6x beams and 6x posts, this ECC column cap features straps rotated 90 deg. to align with wall framing, making it an ideal solution for structural end-of-column installations where precision, strength, and code compliance are essential. Constructed from heavy-duty 7-gauge steel with certified welds and a durable Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish, the ECC66ROT is built to perform under demanding structural loads, including earthquake and wind loading conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What beam and post sizes is the ECC66ROT compatible with?
- The ECC66ROT is designed for use with a nominal 6x beam width and a nominal 6x post size, making it specifically suited for end-of-beam column cap applications using standard 6x dimensional lumber.
- What makes the ECC66ROT different from a standard ECC column cap?
- The ECC66ROT features straps that are rotated 90 deg. to align with wall framing, unlike a standard ECC column cap. This rotated strap orientation makes it the appropriate choice for end-of-column installations where the straps need to run in line with the wall framing rather than perpendicular to it.
- What fasteners are required to install the ECC66ROT?
- The ECC66ROT is installed with four 5/8 in. diameter machine bolts. The bolt spacing is designed to meet NDS code requirements for optimal performance. Diamond holes are also included on the connector to allow for temporary fastening during installation.
- What material and finish is used on the ECC66ROT?
- The ECC66ROT is constructed from heavy-duty 7-gauge steel with certified welds and is finished with a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint coating. The certified welds are designed to provide confidence in the connector's strength and load-carrying capacity, including increased uplift loads for earthquake or wind loading conditions.
