The Simpson MBHAR5.50/11.25 Masonry Hanger Skewed Right 5-1/2 x 11-1/4 is a single-piece, non-welded connector built for top-flange beam-to-masonry and beam-to-concrete wall connections. Pre-skewed 45 deg. to the right, this hanger accommodates solid sawn lumber, truss assemblies, and engineered wood products where angled structural framing is required - without the need for field fabrication or custom bending. Simpson engineering delivers a precise, code-compliant fit for demanding masonry construction applications.

Key Features

• Single-piece, non-welded construction - eliminates weld failure points and delivers consistent structural integrity across the full connection
• Pre-skewed 45 deg. right seat - factory-formed angle removes the need for field modification, saving installation time and reducing the risk of alignment errors
• Top-flange hanger design - seats directly on concrete or masonry walls, providing a stable bearing surface for beam and truss connections
• Compatible with multiple member types - supports solid sawn lumber, truss assemblies, and engineered wood products, giving builders flexibility across framing systems
• 10 gauge steel with G90 galvanized finish - the heavy-gauge material and galvanized coating work together to handle structural loads while providing corrosion resistance in exposed masonry environments
• Sized for 5-1/2 in. x 11-1/4 in. beams - dimensionally matched to the supported member so the connection fits correctly without shimming or packing

Why This Product

• Eliminates field fabrication at angled connections - the 45 deg. right skew is built in at the factory by Simpson, so structural framing crews get a ready-to-install connector that meets the angle requirement precisely as delivered
• Engineered for masonry and concrete wall applications - purpose-built as a top-flange hanger for concrete and masonry bearing walls, this connector addresses a specific structural challenge that standard hangers are not configured to solve
• Broad member compatibility in one connector - solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, and truss assemblies all fall within the approved applications, reducing the need to source different hangers for different framing members at the same skewed bearing condition
• Domestic production by Simpson - the connector is made in the United States under Simpson quality standards, supporting consistent dimensional accuracy and material compliance for structural installations
