Product Description
Simpson MBHU Masonry Beam Hanger, 5-1/2 in. x 14 in., Galvanized with Screws and Anchors is a Simpson Strong-Tie 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 unit from 10-gauge steel and finished with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, this hanger arrives complete with Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws so structural beam connections can be made efficiently and with confidence.
Key Features
- Non-welded, one-piece construction - delivers a clean, structurally consistent connector with no weld points that could become weak spots over time.
- Face-mounted design for masonry and concrete walls - allows the hanger to be positioned and secured directly to the wall face, giving installers precise placement flexibility without relying on cast-in-place hardware.
- Compatible with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses - handles a wide range of beam types so one connector works across multiple framing applications.
- 10-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed for heavy beam-to-wall connections in residential and commercial framing.
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - offers corrosion resistance suited to interior and protected installations, helping extend the service life of the connector.
- Fasteners included in the kit - the two Titen HD screw anchors and twelve Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws in the package eliminate a separate hardware run and confirm full fastener compatibility from the start.
- Post-wall Titen HD installation - because the screw anchor goes in after the wall is built, locating the anchor in precisely the right position is far simpler than coordinating cast-in-place bolts during wall construction.
- Carbon-steel Titen HD not recommended for exposed exterior use - knowing this upfront helps contractors choose the right application and avoid corrosion issues in open-air environments.
- Moisture barrier required between beam and wall per jurisdictional requirements - a clear installation guideline that protects the structural connection and keeps the project code-compliant.
Why This Product
- Everything needed for the connection ships together - the Titen HD anchors and Strong-Drive SDS screws are included in the package, so installers have confirmed-compatible fasteners on hand without sourcing them separately.
- Simpler layout than cast-in-place alternatives - because the Titen HD anchor is installed after the wall is complete, the hanger can be positioned accurately based on actual beam location rather than pre-planned bolt placement, reducing layout errors and field adjustments.
- Broad beam compatibility in a single connector - supporting solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, and trusses, this hanger adapts to the beam type the job calls for rather than requiring a different product for each application.
- Trusted Simpson Strong-Tie engineering in a ready-to-install package - the one-piece, non-welded design paired with G90 galvanized steel delivers a corrosion-resistant masonry beam connection built to consistent manufacturing standards.
