Product Description
The Simpson DGT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger is a patent-pending, load-tested connector purpose-built for multifamily and multilevel Type III residential construction. Sized for 3-1/2 in. x 9-1/4 in. engineered wood members, it is the first fire wall hanger designed to install with a power nailer, reducing time on the framing stage and helping keep projects on schedule. Its innovative top-flange design leaves room for two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board to be slipped into place after framing is complete, eliminating workflow conflicts between trades. Tested in accordance with ASTM E814 and carrying a two-hour fire-resistant rating for use on both sides of the wall, this hanger delivers the code-compliance confidence that residential fire wall applications demand.
Key Features
- Compatible with power nailers and hand nailing - Loads tested and code listed for 1-1/2 in. and 2 1/2 in. power-driven or hand-installed nails, so crews can work with the tools already on site without slowing down.
- Two-hour fire rating for 2x4 or thicker walls - Meets the fire-resistance requirements for multifamily and Type III construction on both sides of the wall, supporting code compliance without additional workarounds.
- Innovative top-flange design for back-to-back installation - Enables back-to-back installation on 2x6 (minimum) walls, simplifying layout at double fire wall conditions and reducing the need for custom solutions.
- Built-in space for two layers of 5/8 in. drywall - Drywall can be slipped in after framing is complete, keeping trades from working around each other and helping maintain project schedules.
- Intertek-certified fire-resistant rating (Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01) - Third-party certification provides the documentation inspectors and project managers need to verify compliance quickly.
- 12-gauge steel construction - Heavy-gauge steel delivers the structural strength required for engineered wood joist applications in demanding residential construction environments.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - Provides a corrosion-resistant coating suited to the conditions common on active construction sites, helping preserve connector integrity through the full build process.
Why This Product
- The first fire wall hanger built for power nailer installation - Unlike conventional fire wall connectors that require hand nailing, this hanger is specifically designed for power-driven fasteners, cutting installation time before drywall goes up and keeping multifamily framing schedules on track.
- Fire rating covers both sides of the wall - The two-hour fire-resistant rating tested per ASTM E814 applies to both wall faces, making this hanger a complete solution for fire wall framing rather than a one-side-only workaround.
- Drywall-ready design eliminates sequencing conflicts - The top-flange configuration holds space for two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board after framing is done, so drywall crews can follow framers without waiting for connector adjustments or rework.
- Wide size range with straightforward selection - The DGT line is offered across a broad range of member sizes, making it easy to specify and source the correct hanger for each floor system without relying on custom fabrication or special configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What nail sizes are approved for installing the DGT3.62/9.25?
The DGT3.62/9.25 is loads tested and code listed for both 1-1/2 in. and 2-1/2 in. power-driven or hand-installed nails with a diameter of 0.148 in. Specifically, install with (6) nails in the top, (2) or (4) nails in the face depending on nail length, and (6) nails in the joist.
What is the fire rating of the DGT3.62/9.25 and how was it tested?
The DGT3.62/9.25 carries a two-hour fire-resistant rating, tested in accordance with ASTM E814. It is rated for use on both sides of the wall and holds Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01. The two-hour fire rating applies to 2x4 or thicker walls.
Can this hanger be installed with a power nailer?
Yes. The DGT3.62/9.25 is the first fire wall hanger designed to be installed with a power nailer, in addition to supporting hand-installed nails. This capability saves time before drywall is hung and helps keep construction schedules on track.
How does the top-flange design accommodate drywall installation?
The innovative top-flange design provides dedicated space for two layers of 5/8-in. gypsum board (drywall) to be slipped into place after framing is complete. It also supports back-to-back installation on 2x6 (minimum) walls, making it well suited for fire wall assemblies in multifamily construction.
