Product Description
The Simpson DGHT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger by Simpson is engineered for multifamily, multilevel Type III residential construction where fire-rated framing connections are required. This patent-pending, load-tested hanger carries a two-hour fire-resistant rating and is the first fire wall hanger designed to install with a power nailer, helping crews complete structural framing faster before drywall goes up. Its innovative top-flange design holds space for two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board to be slipped into place after framing is complete, and it has been tested to ASTM E814 for use on both sides of the wall.
Key Features
- Power nailer compatible, code listed for both nail sizes - loads tested and code listed for 1 1/2 in. and 2 1/2 in. power-driven or hand-installed nails, so crews can use the tools already on site without switching methods or losing time
- Two-hour fire-resistant rating for 2x4 or thicker walls - provides confidence that the connection meets fire-separation requirements on both sides of the wall, backed by Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01
- Innovative top-flange design for back-to-back installation - supports back-to-back installation on 2x6 (min.) walls, giving framers a clean, efficient approach at fire wall assemblies without complicated field modifications
- Built-in clearance for two layers of 5/8 in. drywall - the hanger leaves room for gypsum board to slide in after framing is done, keeping the construction sequence flexible and on schedule
- 10-gauge steel construction - heavy-gauge material delivers the structural strength needed for load-rated fire wall applications in demanding residential and commercial projects
- Zinc galvanized G90 finish - provides corrosion resistance suited to the environments where fire-rated wood framing connections are typically installed
Why This Product
- A first-of-its-kind time saver on fire wall framing - as the first fire wall hanger engineered for power nailer installation, it eliminates the slow, hand-nailing-only constraint that has historically added labor time to fire-rated framing assemblies
- Certified two-hour fire rating on both sides of the wall - tested to ASTM E814 and carrying Intertek certification, this hanger gives builders and inspectors a documented, code-supported connection for fire wall assemblies in Type III residential construction
- Designed around real construction sequencing - the top-flange configuration lets drywall be installed after framing rather than before, reducing coordination headaches and protecting project schedules on multifamily and multilevel builds
- Engineered for the specific demands of fire wall applications - built from 10-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish and sized precisely for 2 1/2 in. x 9 1/2 in. engineered wood members, every dimension and material choice is matched to the structural and fire-rating requirements of the application

Frequently Asked Questions
What fire rating does the Simpson DGHT2.56/9.5 carry?
The DGHT2.56/9.5 carries a two-hour fire-resistant rating, certified under Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01. This rating applies to 2x4 or thicker walls and is valid for use on both sides of the wall, as tested according to ASTM E814.
Can this hanger be installed with a power nailer?
Yes. The DGHT is the first fire wall hanger 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 or hand-installed nails, allowing for faster installation before drywall is hung.
How does the top-flange design accommodate drywall installation?
The innovative top-flange design allows two layers of 5/8-in. gypsum board (drywall) to be slipped into place after the framing is complete. It also supports back-to-back installation on 2x6 (minimum) walls, making it well suited for fire wall assemblies in multifamily and multilevel Type III residential construction.
What material and corrosion protection does this hanger have?
The DGHT2.56/9.5 is made from 10-gauge steel and features a Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish, providing reliable corrosion resistance for structural framing applications.
