The Simpson Masonry Hanger Skewed Right 5-1/2 x 16 is a single-piece, non-welded top-flange connector built for structural framing applications where beams or joists must tie into concrete or masonry at a precise angle. Factory-skewed 45 deg. to the right, this hanger eliminates field fabrication guesswork and delivers a consistent, code-ready connection for solid sawn lumber, truss assemblies, and engineered wood products. Constructed from 10-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, it is engineered to handle the demanding load and corrosion resistance requirements of masonry and concrete construction environments.

Key Features

• Single-piece, non-welded construction - provides consistent structural integrity throughout the connector with no weld points that could introduce weak spots or inconsistency.
• Factory-set 45 deg. right skew - arrives ready for immediate installation at the correct angle, eliminating on-site bending or adjustment and reducing installation time.
• Top-flange hanger design for concrete and masonry - seats directly into masonry or concrete headers, making it the correct choice for structural connections where face-mount hangers are not an option.
• Compatible with solid sawn lumber, trusses, and engineered wood products - covers a broad range of framing members, giving contractors flexibility across different project types without sourcing multiple hanger styles.
• 10-gauge steel with G90 galvanized finish - delivers heavy-duty strength paired with corrosion resistance suited to the moisture-exposed conditions common in masonry and concrete structural applications.
• 5-1/2 in. width x 16 in. height profile - sized to accommodate larger framing members, reducing the need for custom solutions on heavier structural assemblies.

Why This Product

• No field modification required - the 45 deg. right skew is built in at the factory, so the hanger installs correctly the first time and supports consistent results across repeated connections on the same job.
• Broad structural member compatibility - supporting solid sawn lumber, truss assemblies, and engineered wood products means this single hanger model covers the most common framing scenarios in concrete and masonry construction.
• Heavy-gauge construction for high-demand connections - 10-gauge steel supports substantial download and uplift forces, making this hanger appropriate for load-bearing structural framing rather than light-duty applications.
• Simpson quality with domestic production - Simpson is a widely recognized name in structural connectors, and this hanger is made in the United States, which supports project specifications that require domestically produced hardware.
