Simpson End Column Cap Kit (Right) L-Shape for GFCMU & Concrete Piers ECCLRQMD3.62-KT is a Simpson Strong-Tie embedded column cap engineered for raised pier foundations and applications where heavy beams rest on concrete or concrete block columns. This right-hand L-shape kit delivers high uplift and lateral resistance to help structures withstand high-wind events, and incorporates an additional seat to support a third member at the corner connection - making it ideal for attaching perimeter deck joists or beams.

Key Features

• MSTQM straps included to make the connection from the ECCLQMD to the wall framing
• Screws are configured to provide high uplift design values
• Certified welds for confidence in strength and loading
• SSTB offset allows flush installation to edge of pier
• SSTBs spaced to fit standard CMU cells
• Right-hand beam orientation with L-shape corner connection for perimeter deck joist/beam attachment
• Kit includes MSTQM straps and screws - everything needed for a complete installation
• Heavy-gauge beam seat combined with unique Simpson Strong-Tie SSTB anchor bolts for superior performance

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the ECCLRQMD3.62-KT and a standard ECCLQMD column cap?

The ECCLRQMD3.62-KT is an L-shape variation of the ECCLQMD that incorporates an additional seat to support a third member at the corner connection. This makes it specifically suited for attaching a perimeter deck joist or beam at the corner, whereas the standard ECCLQMD is designed for two-member beam connections without that additional seat.

What does the "Right" designation in this model mean?

The "Right" designation refers to the beam orientation of this column cap. The ECCLQMD is available in both left (ECCLLQMD) and right (ECCLRQMD) side beam orientations to accommodate different layout configurations at the pier connection point.

What is included in this kit, and why is it beneficial?

This kit includes the ECCLRQMD3.62 column cap, MSTQM straps, and screws. The MSTQM straps connect the column cap to the wall framing, while the screws are specifically configured to deliver high uplift design values - providing a complete, ready-to-install assembly that supports certified weld strength and engineered load performance.

What material and finish is used on the ECCLRQMD3.62-KT?

The column cap is constructed from 7 gauge steel and finished with Simpson Strong-Tie Gray paint, providing a durable, heavy-gauge connection designed for the demands of raised pier foundation and high-wind applications.
