Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECCQ4.62-5.50SDS is an end column cap engineered to provide strong, reliable column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications in wood construction. Designed for a triple 2x beam and 6x post, the ECCQ features an extended bearing seat that projects beyond the side of the column, distributing load from the beam across a greater surface area for superior support. Unlike standard through-bolt configurations, this column cap uses Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for fast installation and attachment to a greater net section area of the column - all while maintaining a lower connection profile. Simpson Strong-Tie column caps come in a variety of sizes to accommodate any project, generally eliminating the need for additional brackets or braces.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What beam and post sizes is the ECCQ4.62-5.50SDS designed to fit?
- This end column cap is designed for a triple 2x nominal beam width and a 6x nominal post size, making it suited for heavy-duty wood construction connections at end-of-beam applications.
- What fasteners are included, and why are SDS screws used instead of through bolts?
- The connector includes 28 Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in., Model: SDS25212). SDS screws are used because they provide a lower profile than standard through bolts and attach to a greater net section area of the column than a typical bolt attachment, resulting in a stronger, cleaner connection.
- What material and finish is this column cap made from?
- The ECCQ4.62-5.50SDS is made from 7-gauge steel and finished in Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint for durability. It also features certified welds for confidence in strength and loading.
- Is this connector suitable for use in high-wind or seismic conditions?
- Yes. The ECCQ4.62-5.50SDS has uplift loads that have been increased to accommodate earthquake or wind loading, making it appropriate for use in areas subject to those conditions. The extended bearing seat also helps distribute load from the beam for additional support beyond the side of the column.
