The Simpson ECC64 ECC End Column Cap by Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to provide strong column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications in wood construction. Designed for a 6x beam and 4x post, the seat of the column cap provides an additional surface area of bearing that extends beyond one side of the column, helping to distribute the load from the beam and provide reliable support for the connection. Key Features Certified welds for confidence in strength and loading Uplift loads increased for earthquake or wind loading Bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements to ensure optimal performance Diamond holes to provide temporary fastening Nominal beam width: 6x Nominal post size: 4x Made from 7-gauge steel Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint finish Specifications Model Number: ECC64 Member Size: 6x Beam, 4x Post Length: 7-1/2 in.

(C) Downloads and Resources View Specifications Frequently Asked Questions What is the ECC64 designed to do? The ECC64 End Column Cap is designed to provide strong column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications in wood construction. The seat extends beyond one side of the column to provide additional bearing surface area, helping to distribute the load from the beam and support the connection. What size beam and post does the ECC64 fit? The ECC64 is sized for a nominal 6x beam width and a nominal 4x post size, making it suitable for common structural lumber dimensions used in wood construction framing. What fasteners are required to install the ECC64? Installation requires four (4) 5/8 in. diameter machine bolts - two for the beam and two for the post - to secure the column cap and achieve the rated load values. Is the ECC64 rated for seismic and high-wind conditions? Yes. The ECC64 features uplift loads increased for earthquake or wind loading, certified welds, and bolt spacing that meets NDS code requirements, making it suitable for use in seismic and high-wind design applications.
