The ECCU is designed for column-beam connections in end-of-beam applications requiring uplift values. The seat of the column cap provides additional surface area for bearing that extends beyond one side of the column. The ECCU helps to distribute the load from the beam and provide support for the connection.
Key Features
- Certified welds for confidence in strength and loading
