The Simpson DGT2.37/9.5 DGT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger by Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered for multifamily, multilevel Type III residential construction where fire-rated wall assemblies are required. This patent-pending hanger is load tested and fire rated with a two-hour fire-resistant rating, and it stands as the first fire wall hanger designed to install with a power nailer - saving valuable time before drywall installation and helping keep construction projects on schedule. The innovative top-flange design accommodates back-to-back installation and leaves space for two layers of 5/8-in. gypsum board to be slipped into place after framing is complete. Tested according to ASTM E814 and rated for use on both sides of the wall, the DGT2.37/9.5 is made in the United States and backed by expert service and technical support.
