Product Overview
ECCO4 End Column Cap Legs Omitted
The ECCO is designed to provide strong column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications on top of steel members. The column cap features a design without legs enabling a field-welded attachment to steel columns and beams. The seat of the column cap provides additional surface area for bearing that extends beyond the one side of the column. This helps to distribute the load from the beam and provide support for the connection.

Material
- ECCO3 1/4 , ECCO4, ECCO4/6, ECCO4.62, ECCO6 — 7 gauge; all others — 3 gauge
Finish
- No coating. Some models available in HDG; see Corrosion Information.
Installation
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
- Bolt holes shall be a minimum of 1/32" to a maximum of 1/16" larger than the bolt diameter (per 2018 NDS, section 12.1.3.2); bolt holes should be drilled from one side all the way through the beam to maintain hole tolerances.
