Product Description
The Simpson DGHT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger is a patent-pending, load-tested hanger engineered specifically for multifamily, multilevel Type III residential construction. Built to accept 3-1/2 in. x 11-7/8 in. engineered wood members, this fire wall hanger carries a two-hour fire-resistant rating tested to ASTM E814 and is rated for use on both sides of the wall - making it a reliable choice for fire wall assemblies in demanding residential framing applications. As the first fire wall hanger designed to install with a power nailer, it cuts installation time before drywall hanging and helps keep construction projects on schedule.
Key Features
- Power nailer compatible, code listed for 1-1/2 in. and 2-1/2 in. nails - supports both power-driven and hand-installed fasteners, giving crews the flexibility to work faster without sacrificing code compliance
- Two-hour fire-resistant rating (Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01) - meets fire wall assembly requirements on both sides of the wall, satisfying code requirements for Type III residential construction
- Fire rating applies to 2x4 or thicker walls - compatible with standard wall framing dimensions used across a wide range of multifamily and multilevel projects
- Innovative top-flange design for back-to-back installation on 2x6 (min.) walls - allows two hangers to be installed simultaneously from above, streamlining framing workflow before drywall goes up
- Accommodates two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board after framing is complete - drywall can be slipped into place after the structural framing is finished, eliminating the need to coordinate drywall and framing sequences
- Made from 10-gauge steel with G90 zinc galvanized finish - heavy-gauge construction delivers structural strength while the galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for long-term performance
Why This Product
- The first fire wall hanger built for power nailer installation - this design breakthrough allows crews to fasten the hanger before drywall is hung, reducing manual labor and keeping framing schedules on track on multifamily and multilevel job sites
- A single hanger delivers a certified two-hour fire wall solution on both sides of the wall - tested to ASTM E814 and listed under Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01, it simplifies code compliance for fire-rated wall assemblies without additional components
- Drywall-after-framing compatibility removes a major sequencing headache - the top-flange geometry holds space for two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board, so finishing trades can follow framers without waiting on special accommodations
- Versatile nail schedule supports job site flexibility - load tested and code listed for both 1-1/2 in. and 2-1/2 in. power-driven or hand-installed nails, this hanger adapts to the fastening tools and methods already on site

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fire rating of the Simpson DGHT3.62/11.88, and how was it tested?
The DGHT3.62/11.88 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 certified under Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01 and applies to 2x4 or thicker wall assemblies.
Can the DGHT3.62/11.88 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 nails, as well as hand-installed nails, offering flexibility on the job site and saving time before drywall installation.
How does the top-flange design accommodate drywall installation?
The innovative 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 finish the structural work first and then install drywall without obstruction, which helps keep construction projects on schedule.
What nail schedule is required to install the DGHT3.62/11.88?
Installation requires: (6) 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. OR 0.148 in. x 2-1/2 in. nails in the top; (2) 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails OR (4) 0.148 in. x 2-1/2 in. nails in the face; and (6) 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist.
