Frequently Asked Questions

What fire rating does the DGHT3.62/22 carry, and how was it tested?

The DGHT3.62/22 carries a two-hour fire-resistant rating. It has been tested according to ASTM E814 and is certified under Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01. The two-hour fire rating applies to 2x4 or thicker walls and is valid for use on both sides of the wall.

Can this hanger be installed with a power nailer?

Yes. The DGHT 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 nails, as well as hand-installed nails, providing installation flexibility on the job site.

How does the top-flange design accommodate drywall installation?

The top-flange design allows the hanger to be fully installed during framing, leaving space for two layers of 5/8-in. gypsum board (drywall) to be slipped into place after framing is complete. This sequencing helps keep construction on schedule without requiring drywall to be in place before hanging joists.

What are the fastener requirements for proper installation of the DGHT3.62/22?

Proper installation requires: (6) 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. OR 0.148 in. x 2-1/2 in. nails in the top; (2) 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails OR (4) 0.148 in. x 2-1/2 in. nails in the face; and (6) 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. Using the specified nail schedule is essential to maintain the load ratings and fire rating certification.
