The Simpson MBHA 5-1/2 in. x 16 in. Galvanized Top-Flange Concrete and Masonry Hanger is a single-piece, non-welded connector engineered by Simpson for anchoring solid sawn lumber, truss, and engineered wood products to concrete and masonry structures. Built to the exacting standards that engineers and contractors rely on for structurally sound, code-compliant construction, this top-flange hanger delivers dependable performance in demanding applications where a secure wood-to-masonry connection is critical.

Key Features

• Single-piece, non-welded construction - eliminates the weak points associated with welded joints, giving you a structurally consistent connector you can trust in load-bearing applications
• Fits solid sawn, truss, and engineered wood products - broad compatibility means one connector works across a range of framing scenarios, reducing the need to source multiple hanger types
• Made from 10-gauge steel - heavy-gauge material provides the rigidity and strength needed to handle the demands of concrete and masonry attachment
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - an elevated level of corrosion resistance keeps the connector performing reliably in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• Available skewed at 45 deg. only; order MBHAR for skew right and MBHAL for skew left - purpose-built skew options let you handle angled framing layouts without field modification or compromise

Why This Product

• Engineered and tested for structural reliability - Simpson connectors are manufactured to rigorous quality standards and engineered to perform, making this hanger the go-to choice for contractors and engineers who cannot afford to guess on a connection
• Purpose-built for concrete and masonry anchoring - the top-flange design is specifically suited for securing wood framing members to concrete or masonry walls, addressing one of the more demanding connection types in structural construction
• Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term durability - the G90 galvanized coating goes beyond basic protection, helping the hanger hold up over the life of the structure in conditions where an uncoated connector would degrade
• Flexible skew configurations without field cutting - the availability of dedicated right- and left-skew versions means angled installations are handled with a properly engineered connector rather than a field workaround, preserving the integrity of the connection
