The Simpson Masonry Hanger Skewed Right 5-1/2 x 18 is a single-piece, non-welded concrete and masonry top-flange connector built for structural framing applications where angled connections are required. Pre-configured with a 45 deg. right skew, this hanger delivers a precision fit for solid sawn lumber, truss, and engineered wood product installations into concrete and masonry walls - eliminating the guesswork and field modification that standard straight hangers demand.

Key Features

• Single-Piece, Non-Welded Construction - Ensures consistent structural integrity across every unit with no weld points that could introduce weak spots or inconsistency in high-load framing connections.
• 45 Deg. Right Skew Configuration - Pre-set at the correct angle for right-hand skewed framing, allowing direct installation into concrete and masonry top-flange applications without on-site alteration.
• 10-Gauge Steel Construction - Delivers the load-bearing strength required for demanding structural connections in solid sawn, truss, and engineered wood product installations.
• G90 Galvanized Finish - Provides reliable corrosion resistance suited to masonry environments, helping the hanger maintain structural performance over the long term.
• Broad Application Compatibility - Approved for use with solid sawn lumber, trusses, and engineered wood products connected to concrete and masonry walls, making it a versatile solution across a range of structural framing projects.

Why This Product

• Purpose-Built for Angled Masonry Framing - The fixed 45 deg. right skew is engineered specifically for concrete and masonry top-flange connections, so contractors working with angled framing layouts get a ready-to-install solution without improvising with straight hangers.
• American-Made Quality from a Trusted Brand - Produced by Simpson, a recognized name in structural connectors, this hanger is made in the United States to consistent manufacturing standards that professionals rely on for load-critical applications.
• Versatile Across Multiple Lumber Types - Approved for solid sawn lumber, truss, and engineered wood product applications, this connector reduces the need to source separate hangers for different framing materials on the same job.
• Matched Left-Hand Option Available - For projects requiring both orientations, the MBHAL equivalent covers left-skewed connections, making it straightforward to specify the correct hanger for each framing condition without compromise.
