The Simpson MBHAL3.56/16 is a top-flange concrete and masonry beam hanger engineered for angled framing conditions that demand a precise 45 deg. left skew. A single-piece, non-welded connector from Simpson, it is designed for use with solid sawn lumber, truss assemblies, and engineered wood products, making it a dependable choice for professionals tackling concrete and masonry construction where beam alignment cannot be straight. Built to the high quality standards that engineers and contractors trust from Simpson Strong-Tie connectors, this hanger simplifies complex connections without sacrificing structural integrity.

Key Features

• 45 deg. left skew angle - purpose-built for angled framing conditions, eliminating the need for field fabrication or custom workarounds on left-skewed beam connections
• Single-piece, non-welded construction - reduces points of potential failure and simplifies installation, giving builders a reliable connector right out of the box
• Compatible with solid sawn lumber, truss assemblies, and engineered wood products - one connector works across multiple member types, adding flexibility to a wide range of framing projects
• 10-gauge steel construction - heavy-duty material thickness supports the structural demands of concrete and masonry hanger applications
• G90 galvanized finish - the zinc galvanized coating provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance, helping the connector hold up over time in demanding environments

Why This Product

• Engineered for the job, not adapted for it - unlike general-purpose hangers that require field modification, this connector is purpose-built for 45 deg. left-skewed masonry and concrete applications, so the geometry is already right before installation begins
• Trusted Simpson engineering in a single-piece design - the non-welded, one-piece format reflects Simpson Strong-Tie's commitment to connectors that are easier to install while meeting the performance expectations of engineers and contractors
• Built-in corrosion protection for long-term performance - the G90 galvanized coating goes beyond basic zinc treatment, making this hanger a smart choice where moisture or harsh conditions could compromise an uncoated connector over time
• Broad wood member compatibility reduces sourcing complexity - whether the project calls for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, or truss assemblies, this single hanger model covers the range without requiring different connectors for different members
