Simpson MBHU Masonry Beam Hanger is a face-mounted, non-welded, one-piece connector engineered by Simpson for securely joining solid sawn beams, engineered wood beams, and trusses to masonry or concrete walls. Built from 10-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this hanger delivers structural integrity and corrosion resistance right out of the box - and because the required Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are included in the kit, contractors and builders can move straight to installation without hunting down additional hardware.

Key Features

• Non-welded, one-piece construction - a single continuous connector with no welded joints means consistent structural performance and fewer potential failure points at the beam-to-masonry connection.
• Compatible with solid sawn beams, engineered wood beams, and trusses - broad beam compatibility makes this hanger a versatile choice across residential and commercial framing applications.
• 10-gauge steel construction - heavy-gauge material provides the load-bearing strength needed for demanding structural connections to masonry and concrete walls.
• G90 galvanized coating - zinc galvanization resists corrosion, helping the hanger hold up in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• Fasteners included in the kit - the package contains Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, so no separate hardware purchases are required to complete the installation.
• Post-installed Titen HD anchor design - because the screw anchor is installed after the wall is built, placement is more precise and forgiving than with cast-in-place bolts, reducing layout errors on the job site.
• Carbon-steel Titen HD anchors not recommended for exposed exterior applications - knowing this upfront helps builders select the right installation environment and plan for a moisture barrier between the beam and wall per jurisdictional requirements.

Why This Product

• Everything needed for installation ships with the hanger - the included Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws eliminate a separate trip to the hardware store, keeping masonry beam hanger projects on schedule.
• Post-installed anchoring simplifies accurate placement - unlike cast-in-place bolts that must be positioned before the wall goes up, the Titen HD screw anchor is set after the wall is complete, making it far easier to hit the right location on existing masonry or concrete.
• One connector handles multiple beam types - whether the project calls for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, or trusses, this single face-mounted hanger covers the application, reducing the need to source different connectors for different framing scenarios.
• Heavy-gauge galvanized steel built for lasting performance - the combination of 10-gauge steel and a G90 zinc galvanized finish means the connector is built to resist the stresses of structural loading and the effects of moisture over the life of the installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of beams is the MBHU3.56/11.88KT compatible with?

This hanger is suitable for solid sawn beams, engineered wood beams, and trusses, providing a versatile face-mounted connection solution for a variety of structural applications.

Are fasteners included with this hanger, or do they need to be purchased separately?

All required fasteners are included in the kit. The package contains (2) 3/4-in. x 5-in. Titen HD screw anchors and (12) 1/4-in. x 2-1/2-in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, so no additional hardware purchases are needed for installation.

Can the MBHU3.56/11.88KT be used in exposed exterior applications?

While the hanger itself features a G90 galvanized coating for corrosion resistance, the carbon-steel Titen HD screw anchors included with this kit are not recommended for exposed exterior applications. A moisture barrier between the beam and wall should also be provided per jurisdictional requirements.

Why is a post-installed anchor like the Titen HD advantageous over cast-in-place bolts?

Because the Titen HD screw anchor is installed after the wall is built, it allows you to locate the anchor precisely in the correct position, eliminating the guesswork and alignment challenges associated with cast-in-place bolts.
