Product Description
The Simpson DGHT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger is a patent-pending, load-tested connector engineered for 3 1/2 in. x 24 in. engineered wood members in multifamily and multilevel Type III residential construction. Designed as the first fire wall hanger built to install with a power nailer, it helps trades crews complete framing faster and keep projects on schedule before drywall goes up. The innovative top-flange design leaves room for two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board to be slipped into place after framing is complete, and the hanger carries a two-hour fire-resistant rating tested to ASTM E814 for use on both sides of the wall.
Key Features
- Power nailer compatible and code listed for 1 1/2 in. and 2 1/2 in. nails - speeds up installation before drywall hanging, reducing labor time and keeping framing schedules on track
- Two-hour fire-resistant rating (Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01, tested to ASTM E814) - meets code requirements for fire wall assemblies on both sides of the wall, giving builders and inspectors documented, third-party-verified confidence
- Two-hour fire rating applies to 2x4 or thicker walls - provides broad compatibility across common wall assemblies used in multifamily and multilevel residential framing
- Innovative top-flange design for back-to-back installation on 2x6 (min.) walls - allows paired hangers to be set simultaneously, simplifying layout in fire wall assemblies and reducing steps in the framing sequence
- Space for two layers of 5/8 in. drywall after framing - lets crews finish all structural connections first, then slide gypsum board into position without disturbing the hanger or fasteners
- Made from 10-gauge steel with G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers heavy-duty structural strength and corrosion resistance suited to demanding residential construction environments
Why This Product
- The first fire wall hanger designed for power nailer installation - this patent-pending design eliminates the hand-nailing bottleneck that slows fire wall framing, letting crews move faster without sacrificing load-tested performance or code compliance
- A complete fire wall solution in one connector - the DGHT is tested to ASTM E814, rated for both sides of the wall, and certified under Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01, so builders get a single, code-listed answer to two-hour fire wall assembly requirements
- Framing-first workflow built into the design - the top-flange configuration and dual-layer drywall clearance mean structural framing and connector installation can be fully completed before any gypsum board is touched, reducing sequencing conflicts on busy job sites
- Built for the realities of multifamily construction - back-to-back compatibility on 2x6 minimum walls and support for both power-driven and hand-installed fasteners make this hanger adaptable to the varied conditions and tight timelines common in multilevel Type III residential projects

Frequently Asked Questions
What fire rating does the DGHT3.62/24 carry, and how was it tested?
The DGHT3.62/24 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 walls.
Can this hanger be installed with a power nailer?
Yes. The DGHT 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 allows two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board (drywall) to be slipped into place after the framing is complete. This means the hanger can be fully nailed off before drywall is hung, streamlining the construction sequence and helping keep projects on schedule.
What is the minimum wall thickness required for back-to-back installation?
The innovative top-flange design supports back-to-back installation on walls that are 2x6 (minimum) in thickness. The two-hour fire rating applies to 2x4 or thicker walls for standard single-side installations.
