The ECCLQ, CCCQ and CCTQ column caps provide strong, multiple beam-to-column connector options. The design uses Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws to provide faster installation and a lower profile compared to standard through bolts. Screws are configured to provide high uplift design values.
