Product Description
The Simpson ECCOQ8-SDS2.5 is an 8-inch beam end column cap engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in end-of-beam applications on top of steel members. Designed with legs omitted, this column cap is built for field-welded attachment directly to steel columns and beams, making it a versatile and dependable solution for structural framing. The extended seat of the column cap provides additional surface area for bearing that reaches beyond the side of the column, helping to effectively distribute load from the beam and provide critical support for the connection. Using Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for installation, the ECCOQ8-SDS2.5 fastens to a greater net section area of the column than a standard bolt attachment - delivering both speed and strength in a single hardware package.
