Simpson Strong-Tie ECCQ44SDS2.5HDG 4x4 Beam Post End Column Cap with SDS Screws - Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel for Deck, Fence & Structural Support Construction

This product is a ECCQ44-SDS2.5HDG 4 X 4 End Column Cap Hot Dipped Galvanized With Screws Hot Dipped Galvanized. - General Notes: Install Simpson Strong-Tie SDS 1/4"x 2-1/2" wood screws, which are provided with the column cap. (Lag screws will not achieve the same load.) Additional General Notes: 1.Uplift loads have been increased for wind or earthquake with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 2.Down loads may not be increased for short-term loading and shall not exceed the post capacity. See Post Capacities for common post allowable loads. 3. Uplift loads do not apply to splice conditions. 4.Spliced conditions must be detailed by the Designer to transfer tension loads between spliced members by means other than the column cap. 5.Column sides are assumed to lie in the same vertical plane as the beam sides. CCQ4.62 models assume a minimum 3 1/2" wide post. 6. Structural composite lumber columns have sides that show either the wide face or the edges of the lumber strands/veneers. Values in the tables reflect installation into the wide face. See technical bulletin T-SCLCOLUMN for values on the narrow face (edge). 7.ECCQ uses 14-SDS screws into the beam and 14-SDS screws into the post. 8. Beam depth must be a minimum 7". 9. For 5 1/4" engineered lumber, use CCQ 6X or ECCQ 6X models. 10.CCOQ welded to steel column will achieve same load as CCQ. Steel column width shall not be less than beam width. Weld by Designer.
