Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECCO6 End Column Cap is engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in end-of-beam applications on top of steel members. Designed without legs, the ECCO6 allows for field-welded attachment directly to steel columns and beams, offering flexibility and structural integrity in demanding construction environments. The extended seat of the column cap provides additional bearing surface area beyond one side of the column, helping to distribute load effectively from the beam and reinforce the connection point. Built from heavy-duty 7-gauge uncoated steel and sized for nominal 6x, 5-1/4 in., or 5-1/2 in. beam widths, the ECCO6 accommodates a wide range of project requirements - generally eliminating the need for additional brackets or braces.

Approved Applications
- End-of-beam column-to-beam connections on top of steel members
- Field-welded connections to steel columns and beams (legs omitted design)
- Structures requiring enhanced uplift resistance for earthquake or wind loading
- Applications requiring NDS code-compliant bolt spacing
Installation
- Install with (2) 5/8 in. diameter machine bolts.
- Use all specified fasteners.
- Bolt holes shall be a minimum of 1/32 in. to a maximum of 1/16 in. larger than the bolt diameter (per 2018 NDS, section 12.1.3.2); bolt holes should be drilled from one side all the way through the beam to maintain hole tolerances.
- Contact engineered wood manufacturers for connection guidance specific to their products.
- Diamond holes allow for temporary fastening during positioning prior to final attachment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What beam sizes is the ECCO6 compatible with?
- The ECCO6 is designed for nominal 6x beams, specifically accommodating beam widths of 5-1/4 in. or 5-1/2 in. The cap height is 6-1/2 in.
- Why does the ECCO6 not have legs, and how is it attached?
- The ECCO6 is designed without legs to allow for field-welded attachment directly to steel columns and beams. This legless design provides flexibility when connecting to steel members in end-of-beam applications.
- What fasteners are required to install the ECCO6?
- The ECCO6 is installed with two 5/8 in. diameter machine bolts. The bolt spacing is designed to meet NDS code requirements to ensure optimal performance.
- What material is the ECCO6 made from, and does it have a protective coating?
- The ECCO6 is made from 7-gauge steel with no coating or finish applied. It is uncoated steel, so consideration should be given to the environment in which it will be used.
