ECCLQ/CCCQ/CCTQ Column Caps

The ECCLQ, CCCQ and CCTQ column caps provide high capacity, multiple beam to column connector options. The design uses Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® screws (SDS) screws to provide faster installation and a lower profile compared to standard through bolts. Screws are configured to provide high uplift design values.

Material: 7 gauge.

Finish: Simpson Strong-Tie® gray paint, also available in HDG.

Installation:

Install Simpson's SDS 1/4"x2 1/2" wood screws, which are provided, in all round holes. (Lag screws will not achieve the same load.)
No additional welding is allowed

Options:

Many combinations of beam and post sizes can be manufactured.
Available in widths up to 8" wide.
ECCLQ is available in left or right side beam orientations. Specify ECCLLQ or ECCLRQ.
Straps may be rotated where W1 > W2.
Column caps may be ordered without the column straps for field welding to a column. No loads apply.
Specify CCCOQ/CCTOQ/ECCLOQ.

Ordering:

The L dimension varies depending on the width of the side stirrup (W₃ or W₄). Contact Simpson Strong-Tie for exact dimensions.
Main beam stirrup height (H₁) is 7". Side beam stirrups (H₂ or H₃) can vary in height with the minimum height of 7". Specify the side stirrup height from the top of the cap.
Example Order: 4x Main Beam, 6x Post, 4x Side Beam (oriented to the left) is ordered as an ECCLLQ464SDS.

Allowable load is per seat. Side beams must be loaded symetrically for the CCCQ.
The combined uplift loads applied to all beams in the connector must not exceed the total allowable uplift load listed in the table.
Where noted, the ECCLQ side beam may deflect an additional 1/8" beyond the standard 1/8" limit at the maximum uplift.
The combined download for all of the carried beams shall not exceed the allowable download for the unmodified product (CCQ load for CCCQ and CCTQ, or ECCQ load for ECCLQ). The download for each side beam shall not exceed the lesser of 35% of the allowable download or 9265 lbs. for the unmodified product.
Column width in the direction of the beam width must be the same as the main beam width (W₁).
