Product Description
Simpson End Column Cap for 6-3/4" Beam, Legs Omitted (ECCO7) - engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to deliver strong, reliable column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications on top of steel members. The legless design enables field-welded attachment to steel columns and beams, while the extended seat provides additional bearing surface beyond one side of the column to effectively distribute load and support the connection.
Key Features
- Designed for end-of-beam applications on top of steel members, providing strong column-beam connections

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the ECCO7 suitable for end-of-beam applications?
- The ECCO7 is specifically designed for end-of-beam column-beam connections on top of steel members. Its extended seat provides additional bearing surface area that extends beyond one side of the column, helping to distribute the load from the beam and support the overall connection.
- Why does the ECCO7 have a legs-omitted design?
- The legs-omitted design of the ECCO7 allows for field-welded attachment directly to steel columns and beams, making it well-suited for steel construction applications where a traditional leg-based fastening approach is not practical or desired.
- What are the bolt hole requirements for proper installation?
- Bolt holes shall be a minimum of 1/32" to a maximum of 1/16" 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. Use all specified fasteners as directed.
- Is the ECCO7 rated for seismic or high-wind conditions?
- Yes. The ECCO7 features uplift loads that have been increased to accommodate earthquake or wind loading, making it appropriate for structural applications in regions subject to seismic activity or high-wind events.
