Product Description
The Simpson DGT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger for 2-1/2 in. x 22 in. engineered wood is a patent-pending, load-tested, and fire-rated joist hanger built for multifamily, multilevel Type III residential construction. Its innovative top-flange design is the first of its kind engineered to install with a power nailer, accelerating the framing process before drywall goes up and helping keep projects on schedule. Once framing is complete, two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board slip easily into place - no rework, no delays. Tested to ASTM E814 and carrying a two-hour fire-resistant rating (Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01) for use on both sides of the wall, this hanger delivers the structural performance and fire protection that modern fire wall assemblies demand.
Key Features
- Loads tested and code listed for 1-1/2 in. and 2-1/2 in. power-driven or hand-installed nails - gives installers flexibility to use a power nailer or hand-nail, reducing labor time without sacrificing code compliance.
- Two-hour fire rating applies to 2x4 or thicker walls - meets demanding fire-resistance requirements across a broad range of wall assemblies, supporting compliance on multifamily and multilevel projects.
- Innovative top-flange design for back-to-back installation on 2x6 (min.) walls - allows hangers to be installed on opposing sides of a fire wall, simplifying layout and reducing the number of different connectors needed on the job.
- Space for two layers of 5/8 in. drywall after framing - drywall slides in after the structure is complete, keeping the framing and finishing workflows separate and on schedule.
- Two-hour fire-resistant rating, Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01, tested to ASTM E814 - third-party verified fire performance gives code officials and inspectors the documentation they need.
- Made from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish - heavy-gauge construction paired with corrosion-resistant coating delivers long-term durability in the conditions typical of new residential construction.
Why This Product
- The first fire wall hanger designed for power nailer installation - this patent-pending connector eliminates the slow, nail-by-nail hand-installation that other fire wall hangers require, directly cutting framing labor time on large multifamily and multilevel projects.
- Fire-rated on both sides of the wall, tested to ASTM E814 - a single hanger model satisfies the fire-resistance requirement for the full assembly, reducing the risk of specification errors and simplifying the submittal process.
- Top-flange design keeps drywall installation independent of framing - because the two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board slip in after framing is complete, trades can sequence their work cleanly without waiting on one another, supporting tighter construction schedules.
- Wide size range with a straightforward selection process - the DGT line is offered across many sizes, making it easy to specify the correct hanger for each application without custom orders or complicated substitutions.

Can this hanger be installed with a power nailer?
Yes. The DGT is the first fire wall hanger designed to install with a power nailer. It is loads tested and code listed for both 1-1/2 in. and 2-1/2 in. power-driven or hand-installed nails, which helps accelerate the framing process before drywall installation.
How does the top-flange design accommodate drywall?
The top-flange design leaves space for two layers of 5/8-in. gypsum board (drywall) to be slipped into place after the framing is complete, simplifying the drywall installation process without requiring modifications to the framing.
What fire rating certification does the DGT2.56/22 carry?
The DGT2.56/22 carries a two-hour Fire-Resistant rating under Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01. It has been tested according to ASTM E814 and is fire rated for use on both sides of the wall.
