The Simpson MBHU3.56/11.88SSKT is a stainless-steel, face-mounted masonry beam hanger built to create reliable connections between beams and masonry or concrete walls. Engineered by Simpson as a non-welded, one-piece connector, it accommodates solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses. The kit ships with all required fasteners already included, so crews can move straight from delivery to installation without sourcing additional hardware.

Key Features

• Non-welded, one-piece stainless-steel construction - eliminates weak points common to welded connectors and delivers structural integrity right out of the box for beam-to-masonry and beam-to-concrete applications.
• Stainless-steel finish with high/severe corrosion resistance - protects performance in demanding or corrosive environments where carbon-steel hardware would be unsuitable.
• Compatible with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses - gives builders flexibility across multiple structural systems without needing a different hanger for each beam type.
• Complete fastener kit included - the two 3/4-in. x 5-in. Titen HD screw anchors and twelve 1/4-in. x 2-1/2-in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are bundled with the hanger, reducing procurement steps and the risk of mismatched hardware.
• Post-wall Titen HD anchor installation - because the screw anchor is installed after the wall is built, precise placement is straightforward compared to cast-in-place bolt methods, saving time and reducing layout errors.
• Made from 10-gauge steel - the robust gauge provides the load-bearing thickness needed for structural beam connections in masonry and concrete construction.

Why This Product

• Everything needed for installation arrives in one kit - matching anchors and screws are included and engineered to work together with the hanger, so there is no guesswork selecting compatible fasteners on the job site.
• Stainless-steel material is specified for high and severe corrosion environments - where carbon-steel alternatives fall short, this hanger maintains structural integrity, making it the appropriate choice for exposed or moisture-prone conditions.
• Post-installation anchor placement simplifies layout - installing the Titen HD anchor after the wall is complete lets the installer locate it precisely, avoiding the alignment challenges and costly corrections associated with cast-in-place fastening systems.
• One connector supports multiple beam types - solid sawn lumber, engineered wood, and trusses are all approved applications, which means contractors can standardize on a single hanger model across different framing scenarios on the same project.

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 additional fasteners need to be sourced separately for installation.

What types of beams is this hanger compatible with?

The MBHU3.56/11.88SSKT is suitable for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses, with a seat width of 3-9/16 in. and a seat height of 11-7/8 in.

Why is stainless steel recommended for this application instead of carbon steel?

Stainless steel offers high to severe corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for demanding environments. Carbon-steel versions of the Titen HD anchor are not recommended for exposed exterior applications, which is why the stainless-steel construction of this hanger is the better choice where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Is a moisture barrier required between the beam and the masonry wall?

Yes. A moisture barrier between the beam and the wall must be provided in accordance with jurisdictional requirements. Consult your local building code or authority having jurisdiction to determine the specific moisture barrier needed for your installation.
