Questions & Answers
Is this item the Simpson Strong-Tie ECCQ66SDS2.5 End Column Cap
Hi Eric, this is Bekah from Simpson Strong-Tie. This is not the ECCQ666SDS2.5 which is an L connection column cap that would have beams coming in at a 90 degree corner on top of a post. This is the ECC66 which is the bolted column cap for 1 beam terminating at a post. If you need more information or have additional questions, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you.
What's are the screws for the ec44
Hi Juan, this is Bekah from Simpson Strong-Tie. The ECC44 post caps does not use screws; this partiuclar model uses 5/8" diameter bolts. When we are referring to bolts we are referring to structural quality through bolts equal to or better than ASTM Standard A307, Grade A. If you need more information or have additional questions, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you.
If mounted on a 6 by 6 inch post does the bracket have to centered or can it be placed so one side of the 4 by beam line up with one side of the 6 x 6 post?
Hi Rudy, this is Bekah from Simpson Strong-Tie. We want to make sure we address your question accurately for your application, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you.
Hello What kind or size screws bolt need on lvl neam 4x12
5/8”
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.
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?
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.
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?
It is not always easy to visualize such a connection. Would you have a sketch or a drawing that you can email to us? Please email it to me at glubarsky@strongtie.com My name is Genady Lubarsky and I am an engineer with Simpson Strong-Tie Canada
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?
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!
Can this be used for triple 2x2x10
I am not sure if there is a typo here, but this cap cannot be used with a 2x2. If actually using a triple 2x10 over a 6x post, please see the ECC4.62-5.50 which has a 4 5/8" width for the beam and 5 1/2" width for the post. Thank you!
