ECCLQM5.50-KT Column Cap Kit

ECCLQM5.50-KT Column Cap Kit

The CCQM/CCTQM/CCCQM/ECCLQM embedded column caps are designed for use in raised pier foundations and applications where heavy timbers rest on concrete or concrete block columns. The heavy-gauge beam seats and unique SSTB-style anchor bolts provide the high uplift and lateral resistance needed to help resist high-wind events. The ECCLQMD is a variation that incorporates an additional seat to support a third member at the corner connection. The CCCQM is a variation that incorporates a stirrup on each side for intermediate support beams perpendicular to the main channel.

Framing is fastened with Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (included) that install with no predrilling and feature a corrosion-resistant double-barrier coating.

CCQM — intended for use along a floor support beam and non-corner locations

CCTQM — also for use along a floor support beam and non-corner locations with a side stirrup that accommodates intermediate support beams coming at 90°

CCCQM — for use along a floor support beam with a stirrup on each side of the main channel that accommodates intermediate support beams coming at 90°

ECCLQM-KT — intended for use at the corners with MSTQM straps to make the connection from the ECCLQM to the wall framing above

ECCLL/RQMD-KT — ideal for applications where a member is needed off the corner of the structure, such as a deck joist/beam
