Product Description
The Simpson DGT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger for 2 in. x 14 in. Engineered Wood is a patent-pending, load-tested connector built for multifamily and multilevel Type III residential construction where code-compliant fire separation is required at framing connections. Tested to ASTM E814 and carrying a two-hour fire-resistant rating (Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01) for use on both sides of the wall, this hanger is the first fire wall hanger designed to install with a power nailer - helping crews complete fire wall framing faster and keep projects on schedule. The innovative top-flange design accommodates back-to-back installation and leaves room for two layers of 5/8 in. drywall to be slipped into place after framing is complete, keeping the workflow clean and code-ready from structure to finish.
Key Features
- Power nailer compatible - loads tested and code listed for 1 1/2 in. and 2 1/2 in. power-driven or hand-installed nails - lets crews drive fasteners with a nailer before drywall goes up, reducing installation time on busy job sites
- Two-hour fire-resistant rating applies to 2x4 or thicker walls - meets fire separation requirements for multifamily and multilevel residential construction without additional field modification
- Top-flange design supports back-to-back installation on 2x6 minimum walls - simplifies fire wall framing by allowing hangers to be set on opposing sides of the same plate before drywall is hung
- Accommodates two layers of 5/8 in. drywall after framing is complete - eliminates the need to sequence drywall installation around the hanger, keeping the construction workflow on track
- Rated for use on both sides of the wall per ASTM E814 - provides a single tested solution for full fire wall assemblies rather than requiring separate products per side
- Made from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers structural strength alongside corrosion resistance suited to the demands of residential construction environments
- Fits 2 to 2-1/16 in. x 14 in. engineered wood joists - sized precisely for dimensional lumber and engineered lumber in this range, reducing guesswork when selecting hardware for fire-rated framing
Why This Product
- The first fire wall hanger designed for power nailer installation - because the DGT installs before drywall is hung and accepts power-driven fasteners, framing crews can complete fire wall connections faster without waiting for hand-nailing, directly supporting project scheduling in multifamily construction
- A single hanger handles both sides of the fire wall - tested to ASTM E814 and rated for use on both sides of the wall, it eliminates the need to source and manage separate fire-rated connectors for each face of the assembly
- Drywall-ready framing from the start - the top-flange configuration leaves open space for two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board to slide in after framing is complete, reducing coordination conflicts between framing and drywall trades
- Code-listed with a verified two-hour fire-resistant rating - Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01 and ASTM E814 compliance give inspectors and project managers the documentation they need, reducing approval delays on fire-rated wall assemblies

Frequently Asked Questions
What nail sizes are approved for installing the DGT2.1/14?
The DGT2.1/14 is loads tested and code listed for both 1-1/2 in. and 2-1/2 in. power-driven or hand-installed nails. Specifically, 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.
What is the fire rating for this hanger, and what wall thickness does it apply to?
The DGT2.1/14 carries a two-hour fire-resistant rating under Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01, tested to ASTM E814. This two-hour fire rating applies to 2x4 or thicker walls, and the hanger is fire rated for use on both sides of the wall.
Does the DGT2.1/14 allow for drywall installation after framing is complete?
Yes. The top-flange design of the DGT2.1/14 is specifically engineered to leave space for two layers of 5/8-in. gypsum board (drywall) to be slipped into place after the framing is complete, supporting an efficient construction sequence.
What material and corrosion protection does the DGT2.1/14 have?
The DGT2.1/14 is made from 12-gauge steel and features a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating for corrosion resistance, making it suitable for the demanding conditions of multifamily and multilevel residential construction.
