The Simpson Masonry Hanger Skewed Left 3-9/16 x 9-1/4 is a single-piece, non-welded steel connector built for concrete and masonry top-flange hanger installations where framing meets a bearing wall at an angle. Pre-skewed 45 deg. to the left at the factory, it supports solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, and trusses in residential and commercial framing conditions where a standard straight hanger cannot achieve the required geometry. Its 10-gauge steel construction with a G90 galvanized finish delivers consistent structural performance in demanding masonry and concrete environments.

Key Features

• Single-Piece, Non-Welded Construction - Formed from one continuous piece of 10-gauge steel, eliminating weld points that could introduce inconsistency and giving the connector uniform structural integrity throughout its body.
• Factory-Set 45 deg. Left Skew - The seat angle is pre-set at the factory rather than field-bent, so installers get accurate, repeatable alignment every time without on-site fabrication or guesswork.
• G90 Galvanized Finish - The G90 zinc coating provides a meaningful level of corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in the moisture-exposed conditions common to masonry and concrete construction.
• Broad Member Compatibility - Accepts solid sawn lumber beams and joists, engineered wood products, and trusses, making it a versatile fit across a wide range of residential and commercial framing layouts.
• Rated Download and Uplift Capacity - Published allowable load values give engineers and inspectors a clear, code-ready performance reference, supporting confident specification and inspection on the jobsite.
• Made in the United States - Produced domestically under Simpson quality standards, supporting supply chain confidence for projects with domestic-sourcing requirements.

Why This Product

• Eliminates field fabrication at skewed connections - Because the 45 deg. left skew is set at the factory, framers and contractors do not need to bend or modify the hanger on site, reducing labor time and the risk of incorrect angles at masonry beam pockets.
• Purpose-built for masonry and concrete top-flange applications - Unlike general-purpose joist hangers, this connector is specifically engineered for the unique demands of concrete and masonry bearing wall connections, giving specifiers a product that fits the application from the start.
• Verified load ratings support structural design - With published allowable download and uplift values, structural engineers and inspectors have the numbers they need to complete calculations and code submissions without additional testing or estimation.
• Sized for a precise fit - The 3-9/16 in. width and 9-1/4 in. height dimensions correspond directly to common framing member sizes, reducing the need for shimming or field adjustment and keeping installations clean and efficient.
