The Simpson MBHU 3-9/16 in. x 16 in. Galvanized Masonry Beam Hanger is a face-mounted connector from Simpson engineered to securely attach beams directly to masonry or concrete walls. Built as a non-welded, one-piece unit from 10-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish, it supports solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses in a single reliable package. Because the kit ships complete with Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, crews can move straight from delivery to installation without sourcing additional fasteners.

Key Features

• Non-welded, one-piece construction - eliminates field welding and reduces potential failure points, delivering a cleaner, more consistent connection to masonry or concrete walls.
• Compatible with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses - gives contractors flexibility across a wide range of structural framing applications without needing a different hanger for each beam type.
• 10-gauge steel with Zinc Galvanized G90 finish - provides the structural thickness and corrosion resistance needed for demanding construction environments.
• Post-wall Titen HD anchor installation - because the screw anchor goes in after the masonry wall is already built, placement is precise and straightforward, avoiding the alignment issues common with cast-in-place bolts.
• All installation hardware included in the kit - Titen HD anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws ship with the hanger, reducing procurement steps and keeping the job moving.
• Note: carbon-steel Titen HD anchors are not recommended for exposed exterior applications - understanding this limitation upfront helps buyers select the right installation environment and plan appropriately.
• Moisture barrier required between beam and wall per jurisdictional requirements - a straightforward compliance reminder that protects the long-term integrity of the connection.

Why This Product

• Simplified, hardware-complete installation - the kit includes both the Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, so there is no need to source fasteners separately, reducing delays and the risk of using mismatched hardware.
• Post-installation anchor placement eliminates guesswork - installing the Titen HD anchor after the masonry wall is built means precise, accurate positioning every time, a significant practical advantage over traditional cast-in-place bolt methods.
• Broad beam compatibility in a single connector - one hanger handles solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses, making it a versatile face-mounted solution for structural connections to concrete or masonry walls across different project types.
• Corrosion-resistant G90 galvanized steel - the Zinc Galvanized G90 coating on 10-gauge steel supports durability in protected construction applications where long-term structural integrity is a priority.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of beams is the MBHU3.56/16KT compatible with?

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

Is installation hardware included with this hanger?

Yes. The kit includes (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 fasteners need to be sourced separately.

Can the MBHU3.56/16KT be used in exposed exterior applications?

The hanger itself features a Galvanized (G90) finish for corrosion resistance; however, the carbon-steel Titen HD anchor included is not recommended for exposed exterior applications. Additionally, a moisture barrier between the beam and wall should be provided per jurisdictional requirements.

Why is the Titen HD anchor easier to install than cast-in-place bolts?

Because the Titen HD screw anchor is installed after the masonry wall is already built, it can be positioned precisely where needed. This eliminates the guesswork and alignment challenges associated with cast-in-place bolts, which must be set before the wall is constructed.
