This is a column cap designed for column-to-beam structural support in post-and-beam framing. Model Number: ECCLLQ666SDS. If you are building or reinforcing a beam intersection at the top of a post, this connector is made to give that joint a stronger, more stable load path than piecing a connection together in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWhat makes this model matter is the way it handles a real framing connection. The ECCLLQ design is intended for situations where two beams intersect in an L formation on top of a column, which is a common condition in decks, pavilions, pergolas, and other heavy wood framing. The extended column seat adds surface area under the supported members, helping spread the load more effectively across the connection instead of concentrating it at a smaller point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eInstallation is another big advantage here. Simpson pairs this connector with Strong-Drive SDS heavy-duty connector screws, which are included. That means you get a faster install than a traditional bolt-only setup, and you avoid the bulkier profile that can come with through-bolts. On the job, that saves time and simplifies alignment while still giving you a purpose-built structural connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe connector itself is made from steel with a gray paint finish and uses certified welds for added confidence in strength and loading. That matters because this is not decorative hardware. It is built for structural support, and the weld quality is part of what separates a dedicated connector like this from a fabricated field solution. Diamond holes are also built in to allow temporary fastening during setup, which makes positioning easier before final fastening goes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis left-direction version is specifically intended for skewed-left framing orientation. That detail is important. With structural connectors, orientation is not a small detail you sort out later. You need the correct left or right configuration for the beam layout you are framing. If your layout mirrors this one, you would need the opposite hand version instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrom a practical standpoint, the Simpson Strong-Tie ECCLLQ666SDS L-Shaped End Column Cap is best suited for builders, framing crews, deck contractors, and serious timber or post-and-beam installers who want a cleaner engineered connection for 6x members. It also fits retrofit work where an upgraded beam-to-post connection is needed, provided the framing layout matches the product design. If you are working with 6x posts and 6x beams and need a left-hand end column cap with included SDS screws, this is the right kind of hardware for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits-1\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for L-Shaped Beam Intersections\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/10497946976550_ec732448a1cf.jpg\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie ECCLLQ666SDS L-Shaped End Column Cap shown as a structural connector for two 6x beams meeting on a 6x post in an L-shaped framing layout\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis connector is made for a specific framing condition, and that is exactly why it works so well.
