The Simpson Strong-Tie ECCLRQMD4.62G-KT is a Right-Hand End Column Cap Kit engineered for raised pier foundations and heavy-load structural connections where large beams bear on concrete or concrete block (CMU) columns. This L-shape configuration incorporates an additional seat to support a third structural member at the corner connection - making it especially well-suited for attaching perimeter deck joists or beams. The kit includes MSTQM straps and screws, delivering a complete, field-ready connection solution. Fabricated from heavy-gauge 7-gauge steel with a Hot Dip Galvanized (HDG) finish, the ECCLRQMD4.62G-KT is built to perform in demanding outdoor and high-wind environments with exceptional uplift and lateral resistance. Manufactured in the United States.

Key Features

• L-shape end column cap designed for right-hand beam orientation with a third member seat at the corner connection - ideal for perimeter deck joist or beam attachment
• MSTQM straps included to create a secure connection from the ECCLQMD to the wall framing
• Screws configured to provide high uplift design values for wind-event resistance
• Certified welds deliver confidence in strength and load performance
• SSTB anchor bolt offset allows flush installation to the edge of the pier
• SSTBs spaced to fit standard CMU cells for compatibility with concrete block construction
• Heavy-gauge beam seat and unique Simpson Strong-Tie SSTB anchor bolts provide high uplift and lateral resistance
• Hot Dip Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exposed outdoor environments
• Made in the United States

Approved Applications

• Raised pier foundations with concrete or concrete block (CMU) columns
• Heavy-beam-to-concrete-pier connections requiring high uplift and lateral resistance
• Corner connections in deck framing requiring a third member seat for perimeter joist or beam attachment
• High-wind and seismic-zone construction where certified weld strength and uplift capacity are required
• Flush-to-edge-of-pier installations using SSTB anchor bolts
• Standard CMU cell construction utilizing SSTBs spaced for block compatibility

What's Included

• ECCLRQMD4.62G column cap (Right, L-Shape, Hot Dip Galvanized)
• MSTQM straps for wall framing connection
• Screws configured for high uplift design values

Installation

Install 1/4" x 2 1/2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws as specified. MSTQM straps connect the ECCLQMD to the wall framing above. The SSTB anchor bolt offset enables flush installation to the edge of the pier, with SSTBs positioned to align with standard CMU cells.

Options

• Contact us for Configurable Options and Special orders
• Available in widths up to nominal 7-1/8" width.
• For variable widths on side stirrups, specify W3 (3 1/4" to 7 1/8") and add an "X" to the end of the core model name. Example: ECCLQMD5.50GX-KT, W3 = 3 5/8".
• ECCLQMD is available in left or right side beam orientations. Specify ECCLLQMD or ECCLRQMD.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of foundation or column is this cap kit designed to work with?

The ECCLRQMD4.62G-KT is engineered specifically for raised pier foundations, and is compatible with both concrete and concrete block (CMU) columns. The SSTB anchor bolts are spaced to fit standard CMU cells, making the kit well-suited for concrete block construction, and the SSTB anchor bolt offset allows for flush installation to the edge of the pier.

What does the L-shape configuration offer that a standard column cap does not?

The L-shape configuration incorporates an additional seat at the corner connection to support a third structural member. This makes the ECCLRQMD4.62G-KT especially well-suited for attaching perimeter deck joists or beams at the corner, a capability not typically provided by a standard single-direction column cap.

What is included in the kit, and is any additional hardware required?

The kit includes MSTQM straps and screws, delivering a complete, field-ready connection solution. The MSTQM straps are designed to create a secure connection from the ECCLQMD to the wall framing, and the included screws are configured to provide high uplift design values for wind-event resistance.

What material and finish does the ECCLRQMD4.62G-KT use, and why does it matter for outdoor use?

The ECCLRQMD4.62G-KT is fabricated from heavy-gauge 7-gauge steel with a Hot Dip Galvanized (HDG) finish. This combination is built to perform in demanding outdoor and high-wind environments, providing exceptional uplift and lateral resistance while the HDG finish offers corrosion protection suited to exterior exposure conditions.
