The Simpson Strong-Tie ECCLL444TC is an end column cap engineered to deliver robust column-to-beam connections in end-of-beam applications where two beams intersect in an "L" formation on top of a column. Designed specifically for a 4x beam and 4x post configuration with H1 and H2 heights of 6.5 inches, this skewed-left corner L-shape cap helps distribute loads from the beams while providing reliable structural support at the connection point. Fabricated from steel with a Simpson Strong-Tie Gray paint finish and manufactured in the United States, the ECCLL444TC is precision-built to meet the demands of complex structural framing applications.

Key Features

• Certified Welds: Engineered with certified welds for confidence in strength and loading performance at critical connection points.
• Code-Compliant Bolt Spacing: Bolt spacing meets NDS code requirements to ensure optimal structural performance and compliance.
• Diamond Holes: Includes diamond holes to provide convenient temporary fastening during installation.
• L-Formation Design: Specifically designed for end-of-beam applications where two beams intersect in an "L" configuration on top of a column.
• Load Distribution: Helps distribute the load from intersecting beams and provides structural support for the connection.
• Skewed Left Orientation: Configured with a skewed-left direction to accommodate specific framing layouts and design requirements.
• Steel Construction with Gray Finish: Built from steel and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie Gray paint for durability and a clean appearance.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States to meet high-quality production standards.

Approved Applications

• End-of-beam column-to-beam connections where two beams meet in an "L" formation on top of a column
• Structural framing projects requiring a skewed-left corner end column cap configuration
• Applications requiring a 4x beam and 4x post connection with a tall 6.5-inch stirrup height
• Projects where load distribution from intersecting beams to a supporting column is required
• Structural connections where certified welds and NDS-compliant bolt spacing are necessary

Options

• Many combinations of beam and post sizes can be manufactured. Refer to worksheet Options for Multiple-Beam, Bolted Column Caps.?
• Contact us for Configurable Options and Special orders
  
• The download shall be determined from the allowable loads for the unmodified product (see ECC column caps). The side beam can take a maximum of 40% of the download and shall not exceed 10,665 lb. The sum of the loads for the side beam(s) and main beam cannot exceed the table load.
• Uplift loads do not apply for ECCL caps.
• The column width in the direction of the main beam width must be the same as the main beam width (W1).
• Specify the stirrup height from the top of the cap. The minimum side stirrup heights (H2 or H3) is 6 1/2" (3 1/2" for models ending in "44").
• The L dimension may vary depending on the width of the side stirrup (W3 or W4).
• Column caps may be ordered without the column straps for field welding to a steel column. Specify "No Straps" when ordering. Weld by designer. Full loads apply for the beam and the post cap.

Frequently Asked Questions

What post and beam sizes is the ECCLL444TC designed for?

The ECCLL444TC is designed for a 4x beam and 4x post configuration, with H1 and H2 heights of 6.5 inches.

What type of structural application is this column cap intended for?

This column cap is engineered for end-of-beam applications where two beams intersect in an "L" formation on top of a column. It helps distribute loads from the intersecting beams while providing structural support at the connection point.

What does the skewed-left orientation mean for installation?

The skewed-left orientation means the cap is configured to accommodate specific framing layouts where the L-formation is angled to the left. It is important to confirm your framing design requires a left-skewed direction before purchasing, as this cap is not interchangeable with a right-skewed version.

What features does the ECCLL444TC include to aid in installation and ensure structural compliance?

The ECCLL444TC includes diamond holes for convenient temporary fastening during installation, certified welds for strength and loading confidence at critical connection points, and bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements for structural performance and compliance.
