Simpson Strong-Tie WMU68 – Top Flange Hanger 6″ x 8

The WMU is designed for use on standard 8″ grout-filled concrete masonry units (GFCMU). This top-flange masonry hanger may be offset to the left or right to accommodate end-of-wall or corner placements. The WMU may be sloped up to 45 with no reduction in download or uplift and skewed up to 45 with no reduction in download.

Key Features

  • Uplift loads have been tested and increased for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed
  • When offset or skewed, the hanger no longer provides uplift support
