The Simpson MBHU3.56/18KT Masonry Beam Hanger is a face-mounted connector engineered to securely attach solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses to masonry or concrete walls. Built as a non-welded, one-piece assembly from 10-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this hanger delivers a clean, structurally sound connection without the complications of welded fabrication. Because the Titen HD screw anchors are installed after the wall is built rather than cast in place, positioning the connector accurately is far more straightforward on the job site. The kit ships complete with all required fasteners, so crews can move from unboxing to installation without a separate hardware run.

Key Features

• Non-welded, one-piece steel construction - Simplifies handling and positioning on the wall face while eliminating joints that could compromise structural integrity under load.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating on 10-gauge steel - Provides corrosion resistance suited to interior masonry and concrete environments, extending the service life of the connection.
• Compatible with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses - Gives contractors flexibility to use the same hanger across multiple beam types and framing systems on a single project.
• Post-wall anchor installation using Titen HD screw anchors - Anchors are driven after the wall is complete, making precise placement easier and more reliable than traditional cast-in-place bolt methods.
• Complete fastener kit included - Ships with (2) 3/4-in. x 5-in. Titen HD anchors and (12) 1/4-in. x 2-1/2-in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, eliminating the need for a separate hardware purchase.
• Carbon-steel Titen HD anchors not recommended for exposed exterior use - Buyers planning exterior applications should plan accordingly and provide a moisture barrier between the beam and wall as required by local jurisdictional requirements.

Why This Product

• Everything needed for installation is in the box - The included Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS screws mean no additional fastener sourcing is required, reducing procurement steps and keeping projects on schedule.
• Post-installation anchor placement removes a common field headache - Because the Titen HD anchors go in after the wall is built, crews avoid the guesswork and coordination issues that come with locating cast-in-place bolts before a wall goes up.
• Broad beam compatibility in a single connector - Support for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood, and trusses means this hanger adapts to different structural assemblies rather than locking a buyer into one framing type.
• Simpson engineering in a ready-to-install kit format - The combination of one-piece steel construction, G90 galvanized protection, and a pre-matched fastener set reflects the kind of tested, coordinated system that reduces installation errors and rework on masonry and concrete wall framing projects.
