The ECC helps to distribute the load from the beam and provide support for the connection.

    A:  Hi Em2012, this is Ricardo from Simpson Strong-Tie. For beam widths of 3-1/8 up to 4-1/2", 5/8" diameter bolts are to to be used with the ECC style column cap as shown here on this product page: https://www.strongtie.com/boltedcolumncaps_columncaps/cc-ecc-eccu_productgroup_wcc/p/cc.ecc.eccu If you are looking to use screws, then you would be looking for a model number with a Q in it, such as an ECCQ. All of the CCQ and ECCQ style column caps require 1/4"x2-1/2" SDS screws (model number SDS25212). If we can be of further assistance, please call our technical service team at 800.999.5099.

      Q:Does this need to be hot dipped galvanized if I am installing in an exterior condition? If I cover the Cap with metal flashing, does it still need to be Hot Dipped Galvanized?

      Answer This Question

      A:  Hello, this is McKenzie with Simpson Strong-Tie. Since this is a welded product, the base material is raw steel. The stock product is powder coated and considered a low corrosion resistance coating. We recommend HDG in high corrosive environments. If the powder coating or any flashing is chipped away where the raw steel comes in contact with moisture, corrosion will follow. We also offer some of our column caps in stainless steel for the highest corrosion protection.

        Q:I'm looking at the ECC66 for a 3-ply (total 5 1/4") thickness by 16" height beam, crossed on top of the end of a 3-ply (again 5 1/4") by 12" beam. Is this the correct bracket?

          Q:Hello, I have 6x6 cedar posts that I want to put a 6x6 cedar beam onto. The actual measurement is about 6.125" for this lumber. Will this product work in this application? I believe it is for 5.25 to 5.5" lumber. Or is there something else I should use?

          Answer This Question

          A:  The ECC66 is sized for nominal 6x members (51/2" actual), or 5 1/4" engineered lumber. Please contact your local Home Depot store to special order other sizes. Thank you!

            Using this item allowed us to carry the beam past the cut end of cap just enough to pick up the double hangar for the end joist with no problems. Loved it

            I modified it to suite my needs but other than that it's fantastic and does what I needed it to do.

                Heavy duty connector. Should last and strengthen the deck. Welds and metal thickness must be taken into account for deck post height.
