Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie MBHU5.50/18SSKT is a 5-1/2-in. x 18-in. stainless-steel masonry beam hanger engineered to provide a reliable face-mounted solution for connecting beams to masonry or concrete walls. As a non-welded, one-piece connector, the MBHU is compatible with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses - offering versatile structural performance across a range of applications. Fabricated from 10-gauge stainless steel, this hanger delivers high to severe corrosion resistance, making it well suited for environments where long-term durability and material integrity are critical. Installation is further simplified because the Titen HD screw anchors and Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are included with the hanger. Because the Titen HD anchor is installed after the wall is built, locating the anchor in the correct position is easier than with cast-in-place bolts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What hardware is included with the MBHU5.50/18SSKT, and do I need to purchase anchors separately?
- No additional anchors or screws need to be purchased. The hanger comes with (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.
- What types of beams and structural members is this hanger compatible with?
- The MBHU5.50/18SSKT is suitable for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses, making it a versatile option for a range of structural applications where a face-mounted beam-to-masonry or beam-to-concrete wall connection is required.
- Is this hanger appropriate for exposed exterior or high-corrosion environments?
- The stainless-steel hanger itself offers high to severe corrosion resistance and is well suited for demanding environments. However, it is important to note that the included carbon-steel Titen HD anchors are not recommended for exposed exterior applications. Additionally, a moisture barrier between the beam and wall should be provided per jurisdictional requirements.
- Why is installation easier with this hanger compared to systems that use cast-in-place bolts?
- Because the Titen HD screw anchor is installed after the wall is already built, it is easier to locate and position the anchor precisely where needed. This eliminates the challenge of accurately pre-setting hardware during wall construction, as is required with cast-in-place bolt systems.
