Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECC84 End Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications throughout wood construction. Designed specifically for 8x beams and 4x posts, the ECC84 features a seat that provides an additional surface area of bearing extending beyond one side of the column - helping to distribute load from the beam while offering dependable support for the connection. Built from heavy-duty 3-gauge steel with certified welds and Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish, the ECC84 is a trusted solution for structural connections where performance and code compliance matter.
