CCQM/CCTQM/ECCLQM Column Caps for CMU and Concrete Piers

The new CCQM/CCTQM/ECCLQM embedded column caps are designed for use in raised-pier foundations and applications where heavy timbers rest on concrete or concrete-block columns. The heavy-gauge beam seats and unique SSTB anchor bolts provide the high uplift and lateral resistance needed to help resist high-wind events.

Framing is fastened with Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® SDS wood screws (included) which install with no pre-drilling and feature a corrosion resistant double-barrier coating
Hot-dip galvanized coating for corrosion resistance
CCQM—Intended for use along a floor support beam and non-corner locations
CCTQM—Also for use along a floor support beam and non-corner locations with a side stirrup that accommodates intermediate support beams coming in at 90°
ECCLQM-KT—Intended for use at the corners with a strap to make the connection from the ECCLQM to the wall framing above.

New for 2012:
The new ECCLQMD-KT is a variation which incorporates an additional seat to support a third member at the corner connection.

Features

Ideal for applications where a member is needed off the corner of the structure, such as a deck joist/beam
SSTB anchor bolts on the bottom of the cap provide the high uplift and lateral restraint needed to resist high-wind forces
Framing is fastened with Strong-Drive® SDS screws (included) for easy installation with no predrilling
The cap may be specified/ordered with Simpson Strong-Tie® gray paint or a hot-dip galvanized coating for corrosion resistance; SDS screws feature a corrosion-resistant double-barrier coating

Material: ECCLQMDG cap—7 gauge; MSTQM strap—12 gauge

Finish: ECCLQMDG cap—Hot-dip galvanized or Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint; MSTQM strap—galvanized (G90)

Installation:

See General Notes.
Use all Strong-Drive SDS screws provided for installation.

Options: For Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint instead of a hot-dip galvanized coating, order/specify without the "G" in the model number (example: ECCLLQMD3.62-KT instead of ECCLLQMD3.62G-KT).

Material: 7 gauge

Finish: Hot-dip galvanized

Options:

For variable widths on side stirrups specify W3 (3 1/4" - 5 1/2") and add an “X” to the end of the core model number. Example: CCTQM5.50X-SDSG W3 = 3 5/8"

These products are available with additional corrosion protection. Additional products on this page may also be available with this option, check with Simpson Strong-Tie for details.

The allowable loads have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed.
Total uplift load and lateral load is based on tested anchor failure in the pier.
Allowable loads are based on either a 16" square grout-filled CMU pier with f'm of 1500 psi or a 16" square CMU shell filled with 3000 psi concrete. A minimum of (4) #7 vertical rebars are required. The Designer shall design and detail the CMU/concrete pier to resist all forces including uplift, shear, and moment.
Pier height per Designer.
Side beam and main beam uplift loads assume DF members and are not additive.
The allowable loads listed for grout-filled CMU apply to solid concrete piers of 2500 psi concrete a minimum of 16" square.
The allowable loads listed for CMU shell-filled with 3000 psi concrete apply to solid concrete piers of 3000 psi concrete a minimum of 12" square.
The ECCLQM-KT is a kit packaged with (2) MSTQM straps and (32) SDS 1/4" x 2 1/2" screws. One strap may be installed on each face of the ECCLQM (as shown), using the SDS screws into the beams and 26-16dx2 1/2" nails (not provided) into the wall framing. The MSTQM strap's allowable tension load is 6240 lbs.

Uplift and lateral loads have been increased for wind or earthquake loading, with no further increase allowed.
Total Uplift and Lateral Loads are based on tested anchor failure in the pier.
The Designer shall design and detail the CMU/concrete pier to resist all forces including uplift, shear and moment. A minimum of (4) #7 vertical rebars are required.
Pier height per Designer.
Deck joist connection, side beam and main beam uplift loads assume DF members and are not additive.
The allowable loads are for 16" square grout-filled CMU piers with f'm of 1500 psi or 16" square solid concrete piers of 2500 psi concrete.
The allowable loads listed for 16" square CMU shell, filled with 3000 psi concrete, apply to solid concrete piers of 3000 psi concrete, a minimum of 12" square.
The ECCL(L/R)QMD-KT is a kit packaged with two MSTQM straps and thirty eight SDS 1/4"x2 1/2" screws. One strap may be installed on each face of the ECCL(L/R)QMD-KT (as shown), using the SDS screws into the beams and 26-16dx2 1/2 nails (not provided) into the wall framing. The allowable tension load for the MSTQM straps is 6240 lbs.
The MSTQM strap is 0.101" thick 12 gauge, 3" wide and 48" long.
