Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECCQ76SDS2.5 is an ECCQ End Column Cap engineered to deliver a high-capacity connection for column-beam combinations in end-of-beam wood construction applications. Designed for use with a 6-3/4 in. beam and a 6x post, this end column cap is built from heavy-duty 7-gauge steel and finished with Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint for lasting durability.
