Frequently Asked Questions

What fire rating does the DGHT3.62/9.5 carry, and how was it tested?

The DGHT3.62/9.5 carries a two-hour fire-resistant rating. It has been tested according to ASTM E814 and is fire rated for use on both sides of the wall. The rating is recognized under Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01 and applies to 2x4 or thicker walls.

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 of the same sizes.

What nail schedule is required for proper installation?

Install with (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.

How does the top-flange design accommodate drywall installation?

The top-flange design allows two layers of 5/8-in. gypsum board (drywall) to be slipped into place after framing is complete. This means drywall does not need to be installed before the hanger, streamlining the construction sequence and helping keep projects on schedule.
