The Simpson MBHU3.56/11.25SSKT is a face-mounted stainless-steel masonry beam hanger engineered to connect solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses directly to masonry or concrete walls. Built as a non-welded, one-piece connector from 10-gauge stainless steel, it delivers the structural integrity and corrosion resistance demanded by harsh or high-moisture environments. The kit ships complete with Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, so installation is ready to begin without sourcing additional hardware.

Key Features

• Non-welded, one-piece stainless-steel construction - eliminates weak points associated with welded assemblies and ensures consistent load transfer from beam to wall.
• 10-gauge stainless-steel body - provides the structural thickness needed for heavy beam connections while delivering high to severe corrosion resistance for demanding exterior and coastal environments.
• Compatible with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses - gives contractors and builders flexibility across a wide range of framing applications without requiring a different connector.
• Post-construction Titen HD anchor installation - because the screw anchor is installed after the wall is built, precise placement is far easier and more accurate than with cast-in-place bolts, reducing layout errors in the field.
• All installation hardware included - the kit contains (2) 3/4-in. x 5-in. Titen HD anchors and (12) 1/4-in. x 2-1/2-in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, so no separate hardware purchases are needed to complete the connection.
• Moisture barrier required between beam and wall - a built-in installation consideration that protects both the structural member and the wall assembly per jurisdictional requirements, helping preserve long-term performance.

Why This Product

• Hardware-included kit eliminates a procurement step - the Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS screws are packaged with the hanger, so crews can move from delivery to installation without waiting on additional materials.
• Stainless-steel finish purpose-built for corrosive conditions - where standard carbon-steel connectors would be unsuitable for exposed or high-moisture applications, this hanger is specifically designed to hold up in severe corrosion environments.
• Simplified site layout with post-wall anchor installation - installing the Titen HD anchor after the wall is complete means the connector can be positioned exactly where needed, reducing the risk of misalignment that comes with pre-set cast-in-place hardware.
• Broad beam compatibility in a single connector - one hanger supports solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, and trusses, making it a versatile choice for residential and commercial masonry or concrete wall framing projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hardware is included with this masonry beam hanger kit?

The kit includes (2) 3/4-in. x 5-in. Titen HD screw anchors and (12) 1/4-in. x 2-1/2-in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, so no separate hardware purchases are required for installation.

What types of beams is this hanger compatible with?

The MBHU3.56/11.25SSKT is suitable for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses. It accommodates a member size of 3-9/16 in. wide by 11-1/4 in. tall.

Why is the Titen HD anchor installed after the wall is built rather than during construction?

Because the Titen HD screw anchor is installed after the wall is built, you can locate and place the anchor precisely where it is needed, which is far easier and more accurate than positioning cast-in-place bolts during wall construction.

Is the stainless-steel version of this hanger suitable for corrosive or exterior environments?

The stainless-steel construction of this hanger provides high-to-severe corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for demanding environments. However, note that the carbon-steel Titen HD anchors included in the kit are not recommended for exposed exterior applications, and a moisture barrier between the beam and wall should be provided per jurisdictional requirements.
