Product Description
The Simpson DGT210 DGT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger for 2x10 is a patent-pending, load-tested connector engineered for multifamily and multilevel Type III residential construction where fire-rated wall assemblies are required. Tested to ASTM E814 and carrying a two-hour Fire-Resistant rating 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 work faster before drywall goes up and keeping projects on schedule. Its innovative top-flange design accommodates two layers of 5/8-in. gypsum board slipped into place after framing is complete, and the DGT series is offered in a wide range of sizes for straightforward selection on any job.
Key Features
- Power nailer compatible and code listed for 1 1/2 in. and 2 1/2 in. nails - the first fire wall hanger designed for power-driven installation, reducing labor time before drywall and helping maintain construction schedules
- Two-hour Fire-Resistant rating (Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01) tested to ASTM E814 - provides verified, code-compliant fire protection on both sides of the wall for multifamily and Type III residential projects
- Two-hour fire rating applies to 2x4 or thicker walls - broad wall compatibility means the hanger works across a wide range of common framing configurations without special exceptions
- Innovative top-flange design for back-to-back installation on 2x6 (min.) walls - simplifies framing layout and eliminates the need for custom solutions when hangers must be installed on opposing sides of a shared wall
- Space for two layers of 5/8-in. drywall after framing is complete - allows the full fire wall assembly to be finished in the correct sequence, keeping drywall crews from working around connector hardware
- Made from 12-gauge steel with G90 zinc galvanized finish - heavy-gauge construction delivers structural durability, while the corrosion-resistant coating stands up to job site conditions
Why This Product
- Proven fire-rated performance backed by independent testing - the DGT210 has been load tested and fire rated to ASTM E814 under Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01, giving builders and inspectors a documented, code-listed solution for two-hour fire wall assemblies rather than an unverified workaround
- First fire wall hanger built for power nailer installation - this purpose-built feature separates the DGT210 from conventional fire wall hangers, cutting installation time before drywall and reducing the risk of schedule delays on multifamily and multilevel projects
- Top-flange design that keeps fire wall assemblies practical - by holding space for two layers of 5/8-in. gypsum board and supporting back-to-back installation on 2x6 minimum walls, the DGT210 fits real-world fire wall construction without requiring field modifications or special framing
- Expert service and technical support from Simpson - backed by Simpson's technical resources, contractors and designers have direct access to product guidance, helping resolve installation questions quickly and keeping fire-rated assemblies compliant from start to finish
