The Simpson MBHA3.56/11.25 Masonry Hanger (3-9/16 x 11-1/4) is a top-flange concrete and masonry hanger from Simpson engineered as a single-piece, non-welded connector for use with solid sawn lumber, trusses, and engineered wood products. Built for residential and commercial framing applications where structural members bear on concrete or masonry, this hanger delivers dependable load transfer and simplified installation in a compact, purpose-built form.

Key Features

• Single-piece, non-welded construction - eliminates weld inconsistencies and helps ensure uniform structural integrity across every installation.
• Top-flange design - allows the hanger to be fastened at the bearing surface before the supported member is set, reducing awkward in-place fastening and speeding up the framing process.
• Compatible with solid sawn lumber, trusses, and engineered wood products - gives contractors and builders flexibility to use a single connector type across a wide variety of framing configurations.
• G90 galvanized finish - provides reliable corrosion protection suited to typical construction environments, helping the connector hold up over the life of the structure.
• Seat can be skewed at 45 deg. - accommodates angled framing conditions without requiring custom fabrication, keeping projects on schedule when non-perpendicular layouts are involved.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for concrete and masonry bearing conditions - this top-flange hanger is specifically designed for the connection challenges that arise where wood framing meets concrete or masonry walls, making it a direct fit for applications where generic hangers fall short.
• One connector, multiple member types - compatibility with solid sawn lumber, trusses, and engineered wood products means fewer SKUs to manage on the job site and consistent detailing across mixed-framing projects.
• Skew capability built in - the ability to skew the seat at 45 deg. means the same hanger handles both square and angled framing layouts, reducing the need to source specialty hardware for non-standard conditions.
• Domestic quality from Simpson - produced in the United States by a widely recognized structural connector brand, this hanger meets the expectations of engineers, inspectors, and contractors who specify products by manufacturer name.
