The Simpson MBHA 5-1/2 in. x 14 in. Galvanized Top-Flange Concrete and Masonry Hanger by Simpson is a single-piece, non-welded connector engineered for reliable beam-to-masonry and beam-to-concrete connections using solid sawn, truss, and engineered wood products. Built to the highest quality standards and trusted by engineers and contractors alike, this top-flange hanger delivers the structural performance and durability demanded by residential and commercial construction applications.

Key Features

• Single-piece, non-welded construction - eliminates weak points at joints, providing consistent structural integrity across the entire connector
• 10-gauge steel - heavy-duty material thickness delivers the load-bearing strength required for demanding concrete and masonry framing applications
• Zinc Galvanized G90 finish - provides extra corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the connector in moisture-prone environments
• Compatible with solid sawn, truss, and engineered wood products - offers broad versatility so the same hanger works across a range of beam types and framing systems
• Available skewed at 45 deg. only; order MBHAR for skew right and MBHAL for skew left - gives contractors the flexibility to handle angled framing conditions without custom fabrication

Why This Product

• Engineered and tested for dependable performance - Simpson designs and manufactures this connector to meet rigorous quality standards, making it the go-to choice for professionals who cannot afford structural failure at critical connections
• One connector, multiple wood product types - compatibility with solid sawn lumber, trusses, and engineered wood means fewer SKUs to manage on the job site and greater adaptability across project types
• Built-in corrosion protection - the G90 galvanized coating guards against rust and degradation, reducing long-term maintenance concerns in applications exposed to moisture
• Skew options available - the ability to order right- or left-skewed versions at 45 deg. makes this hanger a practical solution for non-perpendicular framing layouts in concrete and masonry construction
