Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie MBHU5.50/14SSKT is a stainless-steel, face-mounted masonry beam hanger engineered to connect beams to masonry or concrete walls with exceptional strength and corrosion resistance. As a non-welded, one-piece connector, the MBHU accommodates solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses - making it a versatile choice for demanding structural applications. With a 5-1/2-in. seat width and 14-in. seat height, this hanger is designed to carry large beam members while the included Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws simplify installation from start to finish. Because the Titen HD anchor is installed after the wall is built, locating the anchor in the correct position is far easier than working with cast-in-place bolts.
Key Features
- Face-mounted, one-piece design: Non-welded, single-piece construction simplifies handling and installation against masonry or concrete walls.
- Stainless steel construction: Offers high/severe corrosion resistance, making it suitable for corrosive environments where standard carbon-steel connectors are inadequate.
- 10-gauge steel: Heavy-duty gauge provides robust structural performance for large beam and truss connections.
- Post-wall installation anchoring: Titen HD screw anchors are installed after the wall is built, eliminating the complexity of cast-in-place bolt placement.
- Screws and anchors included: Comes complete with Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - no separate hardware purchase required.
- Seat width: 5-1/2 inches and seat height: 14 inches for large member support.
- Carbon-steel Titen HD note: The carbon-steel Titen HD anchor included is not recommended for exposed exterior applications.
- Moisture barrier requirement: A moisture barrier between the beam and wall must be provided per jurisdictional requirements.
- Made in the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What hardware is 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, so no additional fasteners need to be sourced separately for a standard installation.
- What types of beams is this hanger compatible with?
- The MBHU5.50/14SSKT is suitable for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses. It accommodates a member size of 5-1/2 in. x 14 in., corresponding to its 5-1/2-in. seat width and 14-in. seat height.
- Why is stainless steel specified for this hanger instead of standard carbon steel?
- Stainless steel offers high/severe corrosion resistance, making this hanger appropriate for corrosive environments where standard carbon-steel connectors would be inadequate. Note that the included carbon-steel Titen HD anchors are not recommended for exposed exterior applications, so a moisture barrier between the beam and wall should be provided per jurisdictional requirements.
- Does the Titen HD anchor need to be set before or after the wall is built?
- The Titen HD screw anchor is installed after the wall is built, which makes locating the anchor in the correct position significantly easier than working with cast-in-place bolts that must be positioned during wall construction.
