The Simpson Masonry Hanger Skewed Left 5-1/2 x 18 is a heavy-duty, single-piece, non-welded connector built for top-flange hanger performance in concrete and masonry construction. Skewed 45 deg. to the left, it is engineered to handle angled framing conditions where a standard straight hanger simply will not fit, delivering precise, dependable connections for solid sawn lumber, truss assemblies, and engineered wood products bearing into concrete or masonry walls.

Key Features

• Single-Piece, Non-Welded Construction - Eliminates weld points as potential weak spots, giving you consistent structural integrity across every installation.
• 45 deg. Left Skew - Accommodates angled framing layouts that a straight hanger cannot serve, keeping your structural connections code-compliant and properly aligned without field modification.
• Top-Flange Hanger Design - Seats the supported member from above the bearing wall, making installation cleaner and more secure in concrete and masonry applications.
• G90 Galvanized Finish - Provides a robust zinc coating that resists corrosion in demanding job-site environments, extending the service life of the connection.
• 10 Gauge Steel Construction - Delivers the material thickness needed to meet the load demands of structural beam, joist, and truss connections in masonry walls.
• Broad Structural Compatibility - Works with solid sawn lumber, truss assemblies, and engineered wood products, reducing the need to source multiple hanger types for a single project.

Why This Product

• Purpose-Built for Skewed Masonry Connections - When framing members meet a concrete or masonry wall at an angle, this hanger resolves the geometry cleanly at a fixed 45 deg. left offset, removing the guesswork and rework that comes with adapting a straight connector.
• Engineered Load Capacity for Heavy Structural Work - With download and uplift ratings that support demanding beam and joist applications, this connector is sized for real-world structural loads rather than light-duty framing.
• Domestic Manufacturing and Quality Finish - The G90 galvanized coating combined with 10 gauge steel construction means you are installing a connector built to hold up through the life of the structure, not just through the inspection.
• Versatile Application Range - Approved for use with solid sawn lumber, trusses, and engineered wood products across concrete and masonry substrates, this hanger covers a wide variety of residential and commercial framing scenarios with a single SKU.
