Product Overview
ECCLLQ3.25-4SDS End Column Cap L-Shaped, Quick-Install
The ECCLQ is designed to provide strong column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications when two beams intersect in an “L” formation on top of a column. When properly installed, this column cap helps to distribute the load from the beams and provides support for the connection. The ECCLQ uses Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws to provide faster installation and a lower profile than standard through bolts and is special-ordered per specific details from the designer to accommodate the many combinations of beam and post sizes.
Key Features
- Screws are configured to provide high uplift design values
- Certified welds for confidence in strength and loading
- Diamond holes to provide temporary fastening

- Install 1/4" x 2 1/2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which are provided, in all round holes. (Lag screws will not achieve the same load.)
- No additional welding is allowed.
Options
- 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.
- Many combinations of beam and post sizes can be manufactured (refer to worksheet Options for Multiple-Beam Column Caps, T-C-CCQLTC-WS).
- Column caps may be ordered without the column straps for field welding to a steel column, full loads apply for the beam and the post cap. Specify “No Straps” when ordering. Weld by designer. These models have no coating.
