Product Description
ECC End Column Cap
The ECC is designed to provide strong column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications in wood construction. The seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond the one side of the column. The ECC helps to distribute the load from the beam and provide support for the connection.
ECC46 Simpson Strong-Tie 4X Beam 6X Post column to beam connector. Simpson Column caps provide a strong connection for column-beam combinations.

- Diamond holes to provide temporary fastening
Material
- CC3 1/4, CC44, CC46, CC48, CC4.62, CC64, CC66, CC68, CC6-7 1/8, ECC3 1/4, ECC44, ECC46, ECC48, ECC4.62, ECC64, ECC66, ECC68, ECC6-7 1/8 — 7 gauge; all others — 3 gauge
Finish

Installation
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
- Bolt holes shall be a minimum of 1/32" to a maximum of 1/16" larger than the bolt diameter (per 2015 NDS, section 12.1.3.2)
- Contact engineered wood manufacturers for connections that are not through the wide face
Options
- Straps may be rotated 90° where W1 ≥ W2 (see illustration) and for CC5 1/4-6.
- For special, custom, or rough-cut lumber sizes, provide dimensions. An optional W2 dimension may be specified. (The W2 dimension on straps rotated 90° is limited by the W1 dimension.)
- CCO/ECCO — column cap only (no straps) may be ordered for field welding to pipe or other columns. CCO/ECCO dimensions are the same as CC/ECC. Weld by Designer.
- CCOB — any two CCOs may be specified for back-to-back welding to create a cross beam connector. Use the table loads; the load is no greater than the lesser element employed.
