Product Description
The Simpson MBHU3.56/18SSKT is a stainless-steel, face-mounted masonry beam hanger engineered by Simpson to create strong, reliable connections between beams and masonry or concrete walls. Built as a non-welded, one-piece connector, it accommodates solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses, giving structural framers and contractors a single hardware solution across a wide range of beam-to-wall applications. Every kit ships with the Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws already included, so installers have everything required for a complete, code-ready connection without sourcing fasteners separately.
Key Features
- Non-welded, one-piece stainless-steel construction - a single formed component eliminates weld failures and speeds up handling on the job site
- Compatible with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses - one hanger model covers multiple beam types, reducing the need to stock different connectors
- Titen HD anchors installed after the wall is built - post-construction anchor placement lets you locate fasteners precisely, eliminating the guesswork of cast-in-place bolt positioning
- Fastener kit included - (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 - everything arrives together, saving time and reducing the risk of mismatched hardware
- Made from 10-gauge stainless steel - the heavy-gauge material provides the structural rigidity needed for beam-support loads in demanding masonry and concrete wall assemblies
- High/severe corrosion resistance rating - stainless-steel finish protects the connector in corrosive environments where standard carbon-steel hangers would degrade prematurely
- Moisture barrier required between beam and wall per jurisdictional requirements - understanding this upfront helps contractors plan installations correctly and avoid costly rework
Why This Product
- Complete, hardware-included kit - because the Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS screws are packaged with the hanger, installers avoid separate fastener sourcing trips and can move directly from delivery to installation
- Simplified anchor placement versus cast-in-place methods - installing the Titen HD anchor after the wall is already constructed means precise, accurate placement every time, reducing alignment errors that are common with traditional embedded bolt approaches
- Stainless-steel construction for corrosive or high-moisture environments - the high/severe corrosion resistance rating makes this hanger appropriate where a standard carbon-steel connector would not hold up, extending the service life of the connection
- Versatile beam and structure compatibility - supporting solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, and trusses from a single face-mount connector design means this hanger fits a broad range of structural framing scenarios without requiring multiple SKUs

Frequently Asked Questions
- What fasteners are included with this masonry beam hanger?
- This 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, providing everything needed for a complete installation without sourcing fasteners separately.
- What types of beams is the MBHU3.56/18SSKT compatible with?
- This hanger is suitable for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses, making it a versatile option for a wide range of structural framing applications.
- Why is this hanger easier to install than traditional cast-in-place bolt methods?
- Because the Titen HD screw anchor is installed after the wall is already built, you can locate and place the anchor precisely where needed. This eliminates the guesswork and coordination required when positioning cast-in-place bolts during wall construction.
- Is this hanger suitable for exposed exterior or high-moisture environments?
- The hanger itself is made from 10-gauge stainless steel, which provides high to severe corrosion resistance and is appropriate for demanding environments. However, note that carbon-steel Titen HD anchors are not recommended for exposed exterior applications, and a moisture barrier between the beam and wall should be provided per jurisdictional requirements.
