1. Post sides are assumed to lie in the same vertical
plane as the beam sides.
2. Loads may not be increased for short-term loading.
3. Downloads are determined using Fc^ equal to: 560 psi
for glulam sizes; 750 psi for 7 size; 625 psi for all
others; where end grain bearing or buckling capacity
of the column, or other criteria are limiting.

For more information, request Form
T-CC and the Product Worksheet.
Side stirrups are available
in different depths.
Order each connector
separately. Specify all side
stirrup widths and heights
Instead of the column cap, consider
this connector combination.

Order ECCLR for right condition.

MATERIAL: ECC3 , ECC44, ECC46, ECC48, ECC64, ECC66, ECC68,
ECC6-7 7 gauge; all others 3 gauge
FINISH: Simpson gray paint; may be ordered HDG, ECCO no finish.
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Bolt holes shall be a minimum of to a maximum of larger than the
bolt diameter (per 2001 NDS, section 11.1.2).
Contact engineered wood manufacturers for connections that are not through
the wide face.
OPTIONS: Straps may be rotated 90 where W1 W2 (see illustration).
For special, custom, or rough cut lumber sizes, provide dimensions. An
optional W2 dimension may be specified with any column size given (note
that the W2 dimension on straps rotated 90 is limited by the W1 dimension).
Column caps with W1, L, H1, and hole schedules different from the table may be
special ordered. Provide a drawing to ensure accuracy. Loads may not apply.
ECCO Column cap only (no straps) may be ordered for field-welding to pipe
or other columns. No loads apply. ECCO dimensions are the same as ECC.
ECCU Order for uplift applications. See T-ECCUP for ordering information.
ECCL L Column Cap. 7 gauge stirrups may be welded to column cap sides.
ECCL has no uplift loads. Column cap only (no straps) may be ordered for
field-welding to pipe or other columns. No loads apply. Specify ECCOL and
direction left or right.
The following criteria apply:
1.The side stirrup maximum allowable download cannot exceed 40% of the
download in the table for the unmodified product, and cannot exceed 10,665 lbs.
The sum of the loads cannot exceed the table load. The column width in the
direction of the beam width must be the same as the beam width: W1.
2.Specify the stirrup height from the top of the cap. The minimum H2/H3
for the stirrup is 6 (3 for 44s).
3.The L dimension may vary depending on W3 or W4.
Ordering examples: An ECCL66 with W3 3 ", H2 7 is an ECC66
end column cap with a 4x beam on the right side (specify direction left or
right (left is shown) for stirrup) and stirrup seat 1" below the cap seat.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
4. Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake or wind load durations
with no further increase allowed; reduce where other load durations
govern. Uplift loads are limited by the beam shear capacity per 2001 NDS.
5. ECC downloads assume a post of W1 x W2.
6. Uplift loads assume minimum beam height of 11". Beam shear must be
calculated for different heights. The load cannot be greater than listed.
7. Beam depth must be greater than H1.
Available with additional corrosion protection. Check with factory.
There are cost-effective alternatives
for replacing column caps by using a
combination of connectors. Here are
some examples. Designer must
specify the options required.
NOTE: The side stirrup will be welded flush
with the top of the main cap.
