The Simpson DGT2.1/9.5 DGT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger for 2 in. x 9-1/2 in. Engineered Wood 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, and it stands as 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 two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board that can 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 DGT2.1/9.5 is backed by Simpson Strong-Tie's expert service and technical support.
