The Simpson MBHU5.50/14SSKT is a stainless-steel, face-mounted masonry beam hanger built to create strong, reliable connections between large beam members and masonry or concrete walls. Engineered by Simpson as a non-welded, one-piece connector, it is compatible with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses - giving contractors and builders a single solution across a wide range of structural applications. The kit arrives complete with Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws already included, so installation can begin without hunting down additional fasteners. Because the Titen HD anchor is installed after the wall is built, positioning it correctly is far more straightforward than working with cast-in-place bolts.

Key Features

• Non-welded, one-piece stainless-steel construction - delivers a cleaner, more consistent connector without weld points that can introduce weak spots, while stainless-steel material provides high/severe corrosion resistance for demanding environments.
• Compatible with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses - eliminates the need to source different hangers for different beam types on the same job site.
• Post-wall anchor installation using Titen HD screw anchors - allows precise anchor placement after the wall is already built, reducing layout errors compared to cast-in-place bolt methods.
• Complete hardware kit included - the two Titen HD screw anchors and twelve Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws bundled with this hanger mean no additional fastener sourcing is required for a standard installation.
• 10-gauge steel - the heavier gauge contributes to the load-carrying capacity needed when supporting large structural beam members at a masonry or concrete wall interface.
• Moisture barrier guidance built into installation requirements - the hanger is designed with the expectation that a moisture barrier will be provided between the beam and wall per jurisdictional requirements, supporting proper long-term performance in real-world conditions.

Why This Product

• Everything needed for installation ships with the hanger - pairing the connector with its matched Titen HD anchors and SDS screws in a single kit removes a common friction point on masonry and concrete beam connection projects, where sourcing compatible anchors separately can add time and risk specification mismatches.
• Stainless-steel finish addresses high and severe corrosion environments - for projects near coastal areas, high-humidity conditions, or anywhere aggressive corrosion resistance is a jurisdictional or engineering requirement, the stainless-steel construction meets that demand directly.
• One connector, multiple beam types - because the MBHU works with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, and trusses alike, it simplifies procurement and reduces the number of different hanger SKUs a contractor needs to manage on complex structural jobs.
• Made in the United States by a trusted structural connector brand - Simpson has a well-established reputation in structural connectors, and domestic production supports consistent quality standards for a connection that is integral to a building's structural system.
