The Simpson 5-1/2 X 11-7/8 Masonry Hanger is a heavy-duty, top-flange connector engineered by Simpson for reliable structural connections between framing members and concrete or masonry walls. Built from 10-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this single-piece, non-welded hanger delivers consistent load-bearing performance across solid sawn lumber, truss systems, and engineered wood product applications - making it a dependable choice for contractors and builders tackling demanding structural framing projects.

Key Features

• Single-piece, non-welded construction - eliminates potential weak points found in multi-part assemblies, giving installers confidence in structural integrity on every job.
• Top-flange design for concrete and masonry bearing - seats securely at the top of a wall, enabling solid, code-conscious connections where masonry or concrete is the primary support structure.
• Compatible with solid sawn lumber, truss systems, and engineered wood products - provides flexibility across a wide range of framing scenarios without the need for multiple hanger types.
• Seat can be skewed at 45 deg. - accommodates angled framing layouts, reducing the need for field fabrication and keeping installations clean and precise.
• 10-gauge steel construction - delivers the robust load-bearing capacity required for high-load structural connections in residential and commercial framing.
• G90 galvanized finish - provides substantial corrosion resistance suited to demanding installation environments, supporting long-term connector performance.
• Manufactured in the United States - built to consistent quality standards that professionals can rely on across projects of varying scale and complexity.

Why This Product

• Versatile masonry and concrete framing solution - whether the application involves solid sawn lumber, engineered wood, or truss systems bearing on concrete or masonry walls, this hanger handles the full range without substitution.
• Skew capability built in from the start - the seat can be skewed at 45 deg., meaning contractors working with non-perpendicular framing layouts have a direct, purpose-built solution rather than a workaround.
• High-load performance in a single-piece connector - non-welded, 10-gauge steel construction means fewer failure points and confident performance in structurally demanding conditions.
• Corrosion-resistant finish for lasting durability - the G90 galvanized coating protects against the moisture and environmental exposure common in masonry and concrete construction settings, helping the connection maintain its integrity over time.
