Simpson Strong-Tie ECCQ ECCQ66SDS2.5 Column Cap, 5-1/2 in Post/Joist, Steel Gray (Pack of 3)

The ECCQ 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 side of the column. The extended bearing surface helps distribute the load from the beam and provide support for the connection. The ECCQ uses Strong-Drive® SDS heavy-duty connector screws for fast installation and to attach to a greater net section area of the column than a bolt attachment normally entails. Online purchases are in packages of 3.
