Frequently Asked Questions

What fire rating does the DGT212 carry, and how was it tested?

The DGT212 carries a two-hour fire-resistant rating. It has been tested according to ASTM E814 and is fire rated for use on both sides of the wall. The rating is documented under Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01 and applies to 2x4 or thicker wall assemblies.

Can the DGT212 be installed with a power nailer?

Yes. The DGT212 is the first fire wall hanger specifically designed to install with a power nailer. It is loads tested and code listed for both 1-1/2 in. and 2-1/2 in. power-driven nails, as well as hand-installed nails of the same dimensions.

How does the top-flange design accommodate drywall installation?

The top-flange design provides dedicated space for two layers of 5/8-in. gypsum board (drywall) to be slipped into place after the framing is complete. This allows framers to complete the structural work first and then install drywall without having to work around the hanger, streamlining the construction sequence.

What material and corrosion protection does the DGT212 have?

The DGT212 is made from 12-gauge steel and features a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating for corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term durability in residential construction environments.
