The Simpson Masonry Hanger Skewed Left 3-1/8 x 11-1/4 is a purpose-built top-flange connector designed for angled joist and beam connections to concrete and masonry walls. Factory-set with a 45 deg. left skew, this single-piece hanger delivers precise, reliable structural support for solid sawn lumber, truss systems, and engineered wood products where framing meets a masonry substrate at a left-skewed angle. Built to Simpson's standards from 10-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, it is a go-to solution for both residential and commercial framing applications that demand consistent performance at angled connections.

Key Features

• Single-Piece, Non-Welded Construction - Formed from a single piece of 10-gauge steel, this hanger eliminates welded joints that can introduce weak points, giving installers confidence in uniform structural performance across every connection.
• Factory-Set 45 deg. Left Skew - The seat arrives pre-set at a 45 deg. left angle, removing the need for field modification and ensuring accurate, code-consistent placement when connecting members to concrete or masonry walls at a skewed angle.
• Top-Flange Hanger Design - The top-flange configuration allows the hanger to bear load along the full top surface of the supported member, providing broad compatibility with solid sawn lumber, trusses, and engineered wood products in a single connector.
• G90 Galvanized Finish - The G90 galvanized coating provides a layer of corrosion resistance suitable for masonry and concrete environments where moisture exposure is a common concern, helping the connector maintain integrity over time.
• Verified Load Capacity - With a maximum allowable download of 2,390 lb. and corresponding uplift values, this hanger delivers quantified load performance that supports confident engineering and inspection sign-off on structural connections.

Why This Product

• Engineered Specifically for Skewed Masonry Connections - Unlike general-purpose hangers that require field bending or shimming, this connector is factory-configured for exactly a 45 deg. left skew, making it the right fit for angled beam seats into concrete and masonry walls without guesswork or rework.
• Broad Member Compatibility in One Connector - Support for solid sawn lumber, truss systems, and engineered wood products means a single hanger model covers a wide range of framing scenarios, reducing the need to source multiple connector types for a single project.
• Simpson Quality with U.S. Origin - Produced by Simpson, a recognized name in structural connectors, this hanger is built to consistent dimensional and material standards that align with the product specifications engineers and inspectors rely on.
• Defined Load Values for Structural Confidence - Published download and uplift capacities give structural designers and contractors a clear, verifiable basis for specifying this hanger in both residential and commercial framing applications.
