Frequently Asked Questions
- What types of beams is this hanger compatible with?
- The MBHU5.50/11.88SSKT is suitable for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses. It is designed to connect these beam types to masonry or concrete walls via a face-mounted installation.
- What hardware is included with this 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, providing everything needed for installation without sourcing fasteners separately.
- Why is stainless steel specified for this hanger, and are there any limitations on the included anchors?
- The stainless-steel construction provides high/severe corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for demanding environments. However, the included carbon-steel Titen HD screw anchors are not recommended for exposed exterior applications, so their use should be limited to protected or interior masonry installations.
- What advantage does the Titen HD anchor offer compared to cast-in-place bolts?
- Because the Titen HD screw anchor is installed after the wall is built, locating it in the correct position is easier than with cast-in-place bolts, which must be set during wall construction. This simplifies the installation process and reduces the risk of misalignment.
