The Simpson Strong-Tie DGHT3.62/16 DGHT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger by Simpson Strong-Tie is a patent-pending, load-tested hanger engineered for multifamily, multilevel Type III residential construction. Designed to accept a 3-1/2 in. x 16 in. engineered wood joist, this hanger delivers a two-hour fire rating tested to ASTM E814 and is fire rated for use on both sides of the wall. Its innovative top-flange design makes it the first fire wall hanger built to install with a power nailer, saving valuable time before drywall is hung and helping keep construction projects on schedule. After framing is complete, two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board slide easily into the space provided by the hanger's design.
