This is a \u003cstrong\u003ecolumn cap\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for \u003cstrong\u003ejoining two 6x beams in an L formation over a 6x post\u003c\/strong\u003e. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003eECCLRQ666SDS\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you are building a beam-to-post connection that needs the right-side skewed layout, this hardware gives you the geometry, material thickness, and fastener pattern to do the job with a purpose-built bracket instead of field improvising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWhat matters here is the application. This connector is meant for end-of-beam situations where the beam layout turns the corner on top of a post. The right-skewed configuration is not just a minor detail. It determines the direction the side beam lands, so ordering the correct orientation saves time and avoids a bad fit on site. Simpson also calls out that the left-hand version is a different model, which tells you this piece is application-specific, not a universal bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe construction is straightforward and job-relevant: 7-gauge steel, certified welds, and a gray paint finish. The heavy steel matters because this part is carrying structural load and distributing it from the beams into the post. The extended column seat adds bearing area, which helps support the connection where the beams land. Certified welds matter for the same reason. On a connector like this, weld quality is not cosmetic. It is part of how the bracket handles load and holds alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis model uses \u003cstrong\u003eStrong-Drive SDS heavy-duty connector screws\u003c\/strong\u003e instead of standard through bolts, and the screws are included. That is a practical advantage on the job. You get faster installation, less hardware sticking out, and a cleaner connection profile. Tool Nut shoppers looking for a framing bracket that cuts down installation time without moving away from a published connector system will appreciate that this hardware was designed around those screws from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThere are also a couple of small design details that make real installation easier. Diamond holes are provided for temporary fastening during setup, which helps hold position while you get the connector seated and square. Simpson also specifies installing the 1\/4 inch by 2-1\/2 inch SDS screws in all round holes to achieve published load values. In plain terms: the hole pattern is part of the engineering, so using the right fasteners in the right holes is what gets you the performance this connector is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIn terms of use, this Simpson Strong-Tie framing bracket fits nominal 6x members: 6x main beam, 6x side beam, and 6x post. That makes it a good fit for heavy timber-style wood construction, outdoor structures, deck framing details, and other wood-to-wood structural connections where an L-shaped beam layout lands on a post. If your job involves new construction or retrofit work and you need a beam\/post connector built for this exact corner condition, this is the right kind of hardware to be looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWho should buy it? Builders, framers, deck contractors, and serious DIY users working from engineered plans or code-driven structural details. This is not a general-purpose bracket. It is a specific structural connector for a specific beam-to-post condition. If that matches your layout, it is the cleaner and faster way to handle the connection. If your beam direction is opposite, you need the left-skew version instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for a Specific Structural Layout\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.anglera.com\/assets\/74d6ed76-fe0d-4d23-a9db-1f8749ca9ef2\/10497943830822_eb025389cbd1.jpg\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie L-Shape End Column Cap for 6x Beams, 6x Post w\/ SDS Screws, Skewed Right (ECCLRQ666SDS) shown as a right-skewed beam-to-post connector for structural wood framing on a clean background\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis connector is made for one job: supporting a right-skewed L-shaped beam connection over a 6x post.
