The Simpson MBHAL5.50/11.88 Masonry Hanger Skewed Left 5-1/2 x 11-7/8 from Simpson is a top-flange concrete and masonry hanger engineered to create secure, high-load structural connections at a fixed 45 deg. left skew. Designed for use with solid sawn lumber, truss assemblies, and engineered wood products, this connector addresses angled framing conditions where a straight hanger simply will not work, making it a dependable choice for both residential and commercial construction projects involving masonry or concrete bearing walls.

Key Features

• Fixed 45 deg. left skew configuration - purpose-built for angled framing installations that a standard straight hanger cannot accommodate, eliminating the need for field fabrication or workarounds.
• Top-flange masonry hanger design - seats directly into masonry or concrete construction, providing a clean, structurally sound bearing point that keeps the framing member properly positioned.
• Single-piece, non-welded construction - consistent structural integrity throughout, with no weld points that could introduce variability or weaken the connector under load.
• 10 gauge steel with G90 galvanized finish - delivers the material strength and corrosion resistance needed for exposed or moisture-prone masonry environments.
• Compatible with solid sawn lumber, trusses, and engineered wood products - broad material compatibility reduces the need to source multiple hanger types across a single project.
• Made in the United States - consistent manufacturing quality backed by Simpson's reputation for structural connector performance.

Why This Product

• Solves the angled framing problem without field modification - the fixed 45 deg. left skew is built into the hanger itself, so contractors get a code-ready solution for skewed masonry connections right out of the box.
• Handles demanding load requirements - with allowable download and uplift values documented in the load table, builders and engineers can specify this hanger with confidence for structurally critical applications.
• Versatile member compatibility - supporting solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, and truss assemblies from a single connector type simplifies procurement and reduces on-site confusion.
• Built to last in masonry environments - the G90 galvanized finish on 10 gauge steel is well-suited to the moisture and alkalinity exposure common in concrete and masonry construction, helping protect long-term connection integrity.
