Product Overview
ECCLQM5.50G-KT End Column Cap, L-Shaped for GFCMU and Concrete Piers
The ECCLQM embedded column cap is designed for use in raised pier foundations and applications where heavy beams rest on concrete or concrete block columns. The heavy-gauge beam seat and unique Simpson Strong-Tie® SSTB® anchor bolts provide the high uplift and lateral resistance needed to help resist high-wind events. The ECCLQM-KT is intended for use at the building corners.
