The Simpson Strong-Tie MBHU3.56/11.25SSKT is a stainless-steel, face-mounted masonry beam hanger engineered for connecting beams directly to masonry or concrete walls. Constructed as a non-welded, one-piece connector from 10-gauge stainless steel, the MBHU accommodates solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses with a 3-9/16"in. seat width and 11-1/4"in. seat height. The stainless-steel construction delivers high-to-severe corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for demanding environments. Installation hardware - including Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - is included in the kit, and because the Titen HD anchor is installed after the wall is built, precise anchor placement is far easier than with cast-in-place bolts.

Key Features

• Face-mounted, one-piece design: A non-welded, single-piece connector simplifies installation on masonry and concrete walls.
• Stainless-steel construction: Provides high/severe corrosion resistance for long-term performance in harsh conditions.
• 10-gauge steel: Heavy-duty gauge delivers structural integrity and durability.
• Post-wall anchor installation: The Titen HD screw anchor is installed after the wall is built, eliminating the guesswork of cast-in-place bolt placement.
• Complete hardware kit: Titen HD anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are included - no separate hardware purchases required.
• Versatile beam compatibility: Suitable for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses.
• Moisture barrier requirement: A moisture barrier between the beam and wall must be provided per jurisdictional requirements.
• Note: Carbon-steel Titen HD anchors are not recommended for exposed exterior applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hardware is included with this masonry beam hanger kit?

The kit includes (2) 3/4-in. x 5-in. Titen HD screw anchors and (12) 1/4-in. x 2-1/2-in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, so no separate hardware purchases are required for installation.

What types of beams is this hanger compatible with?

The MBHU3.56/11.25SSKT is suitable for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses. It accommodates a member size of 3-9/16 in. wide by 11-1/4 in. tall.

Why is the Titen HD anchor installed after the wall is built rather than during construction?

Because the Titen HD screw anchor is installed after the wall is built, you can locate and place the anchor precisely where it is needed, which is far easier and more accurate than positioning cast-in-place bolts during wall construction.

Is the stainless-steel version of this hanger suitable for corrosive or exterior environments?

The stainless-steel construction of this hanger provides high-to-severe corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for demanding environments. However, note that the carbon-steel Titen HD anchors included in the kit are not recommended for exposed exterior applications, and a moisture barrier between the beam and wall should be provided per jurisdictional requirements.
