Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie MBHU5.50/16SSKT is a stainless-steel, face-mounted masonry beam hanger engineered to connect beams directly to masonry or concrete walls. As a non-welded, one-piece connector, this 10-gauge stainless-steel hanger accommodates solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses - making it a versatile structural fastening solution for demanding load-bearing applications. With a 5-1/2-in. seat width and 16-in. seat height, the MBHU is sized for heavy timber members where strength and corrosion resistance are equally critical. Installation is straightforward because the required Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are included in the kit. Because the Titen HD anchors are installed after the wall is built, precise anchor placement is far easier to achieve compared to cast-in-place bolts, reducing layout errors and field adjustments.
Key Features
- Face-mounted, one-piece design: A non-welded, single-piece connector simplifies installation on masonry and concrete walls.
- Stainless steel construction: Provides high/severe corrosion resistance for long-term structural integrity in corrosive environments.
- 10-gauge steel: Heavy-duty material thickness delivers the load capacity required for beams and trusses.
- Post-wall anchor installation: Titen HD screw anchors are installed after wall construction, enabling accurate anchor placement without cast-in-place bolts.
- Hardware included: Kit includes Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - no separate hardware purchase required.
- Broad beam compatibility: Suitable for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses.
- Note: Carbon-steel Titen HD anchors are not recommended for exposed exterior applications.
- Moisture barrier requirement: Provide a moisture barrier between the beam and wall per jurisdictional requirements.

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 a standard installation.
- What types of beams is this hanger compatible with?
- The MBHU5.50/16SSKT is suitable for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses. The seat width is 5-1/2 in. and the seat height is 16 in., making it sized for heavy timber members in demanding load-bearing applications.
- Why is installing the Titen HD anchor after the wall is built an advantage?
- Because the Titen HD screw anchor is installed after the wall is already constructed, you can locate the anchor precisely where it is needed. This eliminates the layout challenges and potential placement errors associated with cast-in-place bolts, which must be positioned before the wall is built.
- Is this hanger suitable for exposed exterior or high-corrosion environments?
- The hanger itself is made from 10-gauge stainless steel, which provides high/severe corrosion resistance and is appropriate for corrosive environments. However, note that the carbon-steel Titen HD anchors included in the kit are not recommended for exposed exterior applications. Additionally, a moisture barrier between the beam and wall should be provided per jurisdictional requirements.
