The Simpson MBHA5.50/9.25 Masonry Hanger 5-1/2 x 9-1/4 is a top-flange concrete and masonry hanger from Simpson engineered to provide secure, reliable beam and joist connections to concrete and masonry substrates. Built as a single-piece, non-welded connector, this hanger supports solid sawn lumber, truss assemblies, and engineered wood products, making it a dependable solution for a broad range of structural framing applications where concrete or masonry walls meet wood members.

Key Features

• Single-piece, non-welded construction - eliminates potential weak points found in welded connectors, delivering consistent strength and structural integrity across every installation.
• Top-flange design - seats firmly against concrete and masonry substrates for a secure, stable connection that distributes load effectively without requiring additional hardware on the bearing surface.
• Compatible with solid sawn lumber, truss, and engineered wood products - gives contractors and builders the flexibility to use one hanger type across multiple framing materials and project types.
• G90 galvanized finish - provides a high level of corrosion resistance suited to concrete and masonry environments where moisture exposure is a concern, helping extend the service life of the connection.
• Seat can be skewed up to 45 deg. - accommodates angled framing conditions without requiring custom fabrication, saving time and simplifying installation in non-square layouts.
• Domestic manufacturing - produced in the United States, supporting consistent quality control throughout the fabrication process.

Why This Product

• Engineered for concrete and masonry top-flange applications - this hanger is purpose-built for the specific demands of anchoring wood framing members to concrete walls and masonry structures, covering beam hanging, joist connections, and truss installations in a single connector design.
• One hanger, multiple framing materials - because the MBHA5.50/9.25 works with solid sawn lumber, trusses, and engineered wood products, it reduces the need to source multiple connector types for a single project, simplifying procurement and jobsite inventory.
• Built-in skew capability for real-world framing conditions - the ability to skew the seat at 45 deg. means this hanger addresses angled connections that straight hangers cannot, reducing the need for field modifications or custom connectors in skewed framing scenarios.
• Simpson quality in a corrosion-resistant package - the combination of 10-gauge material and a G90 galvanized finish reflects the engineering standards Simpson is recognized for, providing a masonry hanger built to perform in the demanding conditions typical of concrete and masonry construction.
