The Simpson Strong-Tie DGT2.1/14 DGT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger is engineered for multifamily, multilevel Type III residential construction where code-compliant fire separation is required. This patent-pending, load-tested hanger carries a two-hour fire rating and is the first fire wall hanger designed to install with a power nailer - saving valuable time before drywall is hung 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 to ASTM E814 and fire rated for use on both sides of the wall, it is backed by expert service and technical support.
