The Simpson MBHAL3.56/9.25 Masonry Hanger is a precision-engineered, single-piece, non-welded connector designed to deliver reliable structural performance in concrete and masonry top-flange applications. Pre-skewed 45 degrees to the left, this hanger accommodates solid sawn lumber, trusses, and engineered wood products with ease, making it an ideal solution for projects where standard straight hangers cannot meet the framing geometry. Crafted from 10-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, it provides dependable corrosion resistance in demanding construction environments.

Key Features

• Single-Piece, Non-Welded Construction: Manufactured from a single piece of 10-gauge steel for consistent structural integrity throughout the connector body.
• Pre-Skewed 45 Degrees Left: Factory-set skew angle eliminates field fabrication and ensures accurate, code-compliant alignment in left-skewed framing conditions.
• G90 Galvanized Finish: Provides enhanced corrosion resistance to protect structural performance in moisture-exposed environments.
• Top-Flange Masonry Design: Engineered specifically for concrete and masonry bearing walls, allowing the hanger to bear directly on the top of the masonry surface.
• Versatile Product Compatibility: Suitable for use with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, and truss members.
• Made in the United States: Manufactured domestically to consistent quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the skew angle of this hanger, and why does it matter?

This hanger is pre-skewed 45 degrees to the left at the factory. This factory-set angle eliminates the need for field fabrication and ensures accurate, code-compliant alignment in framing conditions where a beam or joist meets a masonry or concrete wall at a left-skewed angle rather than a standard 90 deg. connection.

What types of structural members are compatible with this hanger?

The MBHAL3.56/9.25 is compatible with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, and truss members, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of framing applications that require a left-skewed masonry top-flange connection.

What material and finish is used on this hanger?

This hanger is manufactured from 10-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish. The G90 galvanized coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making the hanger suitable for use in moisture-exposed construction environments.

What type of wall or structural surface is this hanger designed to attach to?

This hanger is specifically designed as a top-flange masonry connector, meaning it is engineered for use with concrete and masonry bearing walls. The top-flange design allows the hanger to bear directly on the top surface of the masonry wall rather than attaching to the face of it.
