Product Description
The Simpson DGT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger for 2 in. x 9-1/2 in. Engineered Wood is a patent-pending, load-tested, and fire-rated connector from Simpson, engineered specifically for multifamily and multilevel Type III residential construction where fire-rated wall assemblies are required. This top-flange hanger is the first fire wall hanger designed for installation with a power nailer, which saves critical time before drywall is hung and helps keep construction schedules on track. The innovative design provides space for two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board to be slipped into place after framing is complete, and the hanger has been tested to ASTM E814 for fire-rated performance on both sides of the wall. Made in the United States from 12-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, the DGT is available in a wide range of sizes, making it straightforward to select the right hanger for your fire wall assembly.
Key Features
- Power nailer compatible - the first fire wall hanger designed for power-driven nail installation, so crews can work faster before hanging drywall and keep projects on schedule
- Loads tested and code listed for 1 1/2 in. and 2 1/2 in. power-driven or hand-installed nails - gives installers flexibility to use the fastener size that fits their workflow without sacrificing code compliance
- Two-hour fire rating applies to 2x4 or thicker walls - meets fire-resistance requirements for a broad range of multifamily and multilevel residential wall assemblies
- Tested to ASTM E814 and rated for use on both sides of the wall - verified fire performance under a recognized standard, reducing documentation burden on the jobsite
- Two-Hour Fire-Resistant rating - Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01 - provides a listed, inspectable reference that simplifies approval with building officials and inspectors
- Innovative top-flange design for back-to-back installation on 2x6 (min.) walls - enables clean, symmetrical hanger pairs on double-sided fire wall assemblies without conflict between connectors
- Space for two layers of 5/8 in. drywall after framing - lets crews complete structural framing first and slide gypsum board in afterward, keeping sequencing flexible on busy jobsites
- Made from 12-gauge steel - heavy-gauge construction delivers the structural capacity needed in load-tested fire wall applications
- Galvanized G90 coating - provides corrosion resistance to help the connector maintain integrity throughout the building's service life
Why This Product
- Designed to save time on fire-rated framing - as the first fire wall hanger built for power nailer installation, this connector lets crews nail off hangers quickly and efficiently before drywall goes up, reducing labor time on multifamily and multilevel residential projects
- A single hanger that carries both structural and fire-rated credentials - load tested for approved nail sizes and carrying a two-hour Fire-Resistant rating under Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01 per ASTM E814, it satisfies both structural and fire assembly requirements without requiring separate connectors
- Flexible sequencing built into the design - the top-flange configuration reserves space for two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board to be installed after framing is complete, so fire wall sheathing does not have to be coordinated around connector installation
- Wide size range simplifies product selection - the DGT model is offered in multiple sizes, making it practical to specify and procure the correct hanger for the joist dimensions on any fire wall assembly without custom sourcing
