Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECC74 End Column Cap is engineered to deliver reliable, high-strength column-to-beam connections in end-of-beam applications throughout wood construction. Designed with a extended seat that provides additional bearing surface area beyond one side of the column, the ECC74 effectively distributes load from the beam while providing robust support for the overall connection. Crafted from heavy-duty 3-gauge steel and finished with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, the ECC74 is built to perform in demanding structural applications where dependable load transfer is essential.
