The Simpson Masonry Hanger Skewed Left 3-9/16 x 18 is a single-piece, non-welded structural connector designed to secure beams and framing members to masonry or concrete walls at a precise 45 deg. left angle. Built for angled framing configurations where a straight hanger cannot accommodate the geometry, this top-flange hanger supports solid sawn lumber, truss systems, and engineered wood products in demanding structural applications. Domestically produced and finished with a G90 galvanized coating, it delivers dependable corrosion resistance across a wide range of interior and exposed construction environments.

Key Features

• Single-Piece, Non-Welded Construction - Formed from a single piece of 10-gauge steel with no welds, eliminating potential weak points and delivering consistent structural performance across every connection.
• Pre-Set 45 deg. Left Skew - Factory-configured for a fixed 45 deg. left offset, this hanger is purpose-built for angled beam-to-masonry connections that standard straight hangers cannot accommodate, saving layout time on skewed framing layouts.
• G90 Galvanized Finish - The G90 galvanized coating provides a meaningful level of corrosion resistance, making this connector suitable for both interior framing and environments with greater moisture exposure.
• Top-Flange Hanger Design - Seats the supported member from above, allowing clean installation against masonry or concrete walls without requiring access below the framing plane.
• Broad Material Compatibility - Approved for use with solid sawn lumber, truss systems, and engineered wood products, giving contractors and builders flexibility across a variety of masonry framing applications.

Why This Product

• Engineered for Angled Masonry Connections - When a framing layout calls for a 45 deg. left offset into a masonry or concrete wall, this hanger addresses that specific requirement directly - no field modification or workaround needed.
• Reliable Single-Piece Integrity - Because the connector is formed from one continuous piece of 10-gauge steel rather than welded components, there are no joint vulnerabilities to monitor or reinforce over the life of the structure.
• Simpson Engineering and U.S. Production - Backed by the Simpson name and produced in the United States, this hanger meets the quality and consistency expectations professionals rely on for structural masonry connections.
• Versatile Across Common Framing Materials - Compatibility with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, and truss systems means this connector works across the beam types most commonly encountered in masonry construction projects.
