The Simpson MBHU5.50/9.25SSKT Stainless-Steel Masonry Beam Hanger is a face-mounted structural connector engineered to join solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses directly to masonry or concrete walls. Fabricated as a non-welded, one-piece unit from stainless steel, this hanger delivers high and severe corrosion resistance that standard carbon-steel connectors cannot match - making it the appropriate choice for coastal, high-humidity, or otherwise demanding environments. Every kit ships with all required installation hardware already included, so the connection can proceed without sourcing fasteners separately.

Key Features

• One-piece, non-welded stainless-steel construction - eliminates potential weak points at weld joints while providing a single, ready-to-install connector with no assembly required before mounting.
• High and severe corrosion resistance - stainless-steel material keeps the connection structurally sound in wet, coastal, or chemically aggressive conditions where carbon-steel hardware would deteriorate prematurely.
• Compatible with solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses - broad beam-type compatibility means one hanger model works across multiple framing assemblies and project types.
• Post-wall installation using Titen HD screw anchors - because the anchors are set after the wall is built, the installer can locate fasteners precisely in the correct position rather than relying on accurately cast-in-place bolts.
• Complete hardware kit included - (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 ship with the hanger, reducing trip-to-supplier time and keeping the installation process straightforward.
• 10-gauge steel - provides the structural thickness needed for heavy beam-to-wall connections without requiring special tooling or modifications on the job site.

Why This Product

• No separate fastener sourcing required - the included Titen HD anchors and Strong-Drive SDS screws mean the hanger, anchors, and screws arrive together in one kit, simplifying procurement and reducing the chance of a fastener mismatch on the job.
• Purpose-built for masonry and concrete wall connections - the face-mount design and post-installation anchor placement work directly with masonry or concrete substrates, offering a clean and code-friendly beam-to-wall solution without cast-in-place hardware.
• Stainless-steel finish rated for high and severe corrosion environments - where a standard carbon-steel hanger would require replacement or show significant degradation, this connector is specifically selected for conditions that demand elevated corrosion resistance.
• Versatile enough for a wide range of structural framing applications - acceptance of solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, and trusses in a single connector model reduces the need to specify different hangers for different beam types on the same project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of beams is this hanger compatible with?

The MBHU5.50/9.25SSKT is designed to accommodate solid sawn lumber, engineered wood beams, and trusses, making it suitable for a wide range of structural framing applications. The seat is sized specifically for a 5-1/2-in. x 9-1/4-in. member.

What fasteners are included with this hanger, and do I need to purchase them separately?

No separate fastener purchase is needed. Each 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 everything required for installation ships with the hanger.

Why is a stainless-steel version recommended over a standard carbon-steel hanger in some applications?

Stainless steel offers high and severe corrosion resistance, making this hanger appropriate for demanding environments where standard carbon steel would be inadequate. Note that the included Titen HD screw anchors are carbon steel and are not recommended for exposed exterior applications, so a moisture barrier between the beam and wall should be provided per jurisdictional requirements.

What is the advantage of using Titen HD screw anchors instead of cast-in-place bolts?

Because the Titen HD anchor is installed after the wall is already built, precise anchor placement is far easier to achieve compared to cast-in-place bolt methods, which must be positioned during wall construction before the exact beam location is confirmed.
