The Simpson Strong-Tie ECC76ROT End Column Cap is engineered to deliver robust column-to-beam connections in end-of-beam applications throughout wood construction. Designed for use with a 6-3/4" beam and 6X post, this end column cap features rotated straps and a precision-engineered seat that extends bearing surface area beyond one side of the column. The seat design works to effectively distribute load from the beam while providing reliable support at the connection point - making it a trusted solution for demanding structural assemblies.

Key Features

• Certified welds for confidence in strength and loading
• Increased uplift load capacity for earthquake or wind loading conditions
• Bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements to ensure optimal performance
• Diamond holes to provide temporary fastening during installation
• Extended seat bearing surface that distributes load beyond one side of the column
• Rotated strap configuration (90 deg.) for versatile end-of-beam applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What beam and post sizes is the ECC76ROT designed to work with?

The ECC76ROT is specifically designed for use with a 6-3/4" beam and a 6X post, making it suited for end-of-beam column-to-beam connections in wood construction applications.

What fasteners are required to install the ECC76ROT?

Installation requires 3/4" machine bolts - two for the beam connection and two for the post connection, for a total of four bolts.

What does the "rotated straps" feature mean on this end column cap?

The rotated strap configuration means the straps are oriented at 90 deg. relative to a standard end column cap, making this model specifically suited for end-of-beam applications where a versatile strap orientation is needed.

What material and finish is used on the ECC76ROT?

The ECC76ROT is constructed from 3 gauge steel and finished with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, providing a durable surface for structural use in wood construction assemblies.
