Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie ECCQ88SDS2.5ROT is a heavy-duty ECCQ Rotated-Strap End Column Cap engineered to deliver strong, reliable column-to-beam connections in end-of-beam applications in wood construction. Designed for nominal 8x beams and 8x posts, this end column cap features straps rotated 90 deg. for versatile installation requirements. The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond the side of the column - helping distribute the load from the beam and provide critical support for the connection.
Built from robust 3-gauge steel with a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish and featuring certified welds, the ECCQ88SDS2.5ROT is engineered for performance in demanding structural environments, including those subject to earthquake or wind loading. The connector uses Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for fast installation and attachment to a greater net section area of the column than standard bolt attachment normally provides. 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 size beam and post is the ECCQ88SDS2.5ROT designed for?
- This end column cap is designed for nominal 8x beams and 8x posts, making it suitable for heavy timber construction applications requiring strong column-to-beam connections at end-of-beam locations.
- What fasteners are required, and are they included?
- The ECCQ88SDS2.5ROT installs with 28 Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws measuring 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. (Model: SDS25212). These screws are included with the connector. The SDS screws provide a lower profile than standard through bolts and attach to a greater net section area of the column than bolt attachment normally provides.
- What does the "rotated strap" design mean, and why would I need it?
- The "ROT" designation indicates that the straps on this column cap are rotated 90 deg. compared to the standard orientation. This rotated configuration is intended to accommodate specific installation requirements where the standard strap orientation would not suit the framing layout or beam direction at the end-of-beam connection.
- What material and finish is used on the ECCQ88SDS2.5ROT?
- This column cap is made from 3-gauge steel and features a Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish. It also includes certified welds for confidence in strength and loading, and its uplift loads have been increased to address earthquake or wind loading conditions.
