The Simpson DGT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger for 2x12 is a patent-pending, load-tested connector purpose-built for multifamily and multilevel Type III residential construction where fire-rated wall assemblies are required. Engineered as the first fire wall hanger designed to install with a power nailer, it helps keep framing crews moving before drywall goes up. The top-flange design holds 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 rated performance on both sides of the wall. Made in the United States and backed by expert service and technical support, it brings dependable fire-rated performance to demanding residential jobsites.

Key Features

• Loads tested and code listed for 1 1/2 in. and 2 1/2 in. power-driven or hand-installed nails - gives installers the flexibility to use a power nailer or install by hand without sacrificing code compliance, speeding up the framing process.
• Two-hour fire rating applies to 2x4 or thicker walls - satisfies fire-rated assembly requirements in multifamily and multilevel Type III residential projects, supporting code approval with confidence.
• Innovative top-flange design for back-to-back installation on 2x6 (min.) walls - allows hangers to be set on both sides of a fire wall during framing, streamlining layout and reducing coordination time on site.
• Space for two layers of 5/8-in. drywall after framing - lets the full gypsum board assembly be installed after framing is complete, so drywall crews are not held up waiting for structural work to finish.
• Two-hour Fire-Resistant rating - Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01 - a documented third-party rating that simplifies plan review and inspections on fire-rated assemblies.
• Made from 12-gauge steel - provides the structural strength required for load-bearing joist hanger applications in residential fire wall construction.
• Galvanized (G90) for corrosion resistance - protects the connector during construction exposure, helping maintain long-term structural integrity in the finished assembly.

Why This Product

• The first fire wall hanger built for power nailer installation - because it is specifically designed for power-driven fasteners, framing crews can complete hanger installation faster before drywall is hung, helping keep the overall construction schedule on track.
• Fire-rated on both sides of the wall, tested to ASTM E814 - a single hanger model satisfies the fire-resistance requirements for both faces of a fire wall assembly, reducing the need to source separate products for each side.
• Wide range of sizes simplifies product selection - the DGT series covers multiple joist sizes, so specifiers and purchasing teams can standardize on one product family across a multifamily or multilevel project rather than sourcing multiple hanger types.
• Widely available and backed by expert technical support - with domestic manufacturing and access to Simpson technical resources, contractors can get the product and the application guidance they need without project delays.
