Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECC7 1/8-8 End Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in end-of-beam applications throughout 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. Built from heavy-duty 3-gauge steel with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish, this end column cap is crafted to meet the demands of structural connections where performance and integrity are non-negotiable.
