The Simpson MBHAL3.56/11.88 Masonry Hanger is a skewed-left, single-piece, non-welded connector engineered for reliable top-flange support in concrete and masonry construction. Designed to accommodate solid sawn lumber, truss assemblies, and engineered wood products, this hanger delivers structural confidence in applications where a fixed 45-degree left skew is required. Built from 10-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this connector is purpose-built for demanding load-bearing environments where corrosion resistance and dimensional precision are essential.

Key Features

• Single-Piece, Non-Welded Construction: Manufactured from a single piece of 10-gauge steel for consistent structural integrity without weld points.
• G90 Galvanized Finish: Provides enhanced corrosion protection suitable for exposed and moisture-prone environments.
• Fixed 45-Degree Left Skew: Pre-configured skew left orientation for precise installation in angled framing conditions.
• Top-Flange Hanger Design: Installs at the top of the masonry or concrete bearing surface for stable, load-transferring support.
• Compatible with Multiple Wood Products: Supports solid sawn lumber, trusses, and engineered wood members.
• Made in the United States: Manufactured domestically to consistent quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of the MBHAL3.56/11.88 masonry hanger?

This hanger measures 3-9/16 inches in width and 11-7/8 inches in height, making it suitable for framing members that match those specific dimensional requirements.

What types of wood members is this hanger compatible with?

The MBHAL3.56/11.88 is designed to support solid sawn lumber, truss assemblies, and engineered wood products, offering versatility across common structural framing applications.

What does the "skewed left" designation mean for this hanger?

The skewed left designation means this hanger is pre-configured at a fixed 45-degree left skew angle. This orientation is built into the connector and cannot be adjusted, so it is intended specifically for installations where the framing member meets the bearing surface at a 45-degree left angle.

What material and finish does this hanger use, and why does it matter?

The hanger is made from 10-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish. The G90 galvanization provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making this connector well-suited for exposed or moisture-prone construction environments where long-term durability is a concern.
