Product Description
The Simpson DGHT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger is a patent-pending, load-tested connector engineered for multifamily and multilevel Type III residential construction where fire-rated wall assemblies are required. Carrying a two-hour fire rating tested to ASTM E814, this hanger is the first fire wall hanger designed to install with a power nailer - helping keep framing schedules on track before drywall goes up. Its innovative top-flange design allows two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board to be slipped into place after framing is complete, making it a purpose-built solution for fire wall assemblies on both sides of the wall.
Key Features
- Power nailer compatible and code listed - loads tested for both 1 1/2 in. and 2 1/2 in. power-driven or hand-installed nails, so crews can install faster without sacrificing code compliance
- Two-hour fire rating for 2x4 or thicker walls - tested to ASTM E814 and rated for use on both sides of the wall, giving builders the documentation they need for fire-rated assemblies
- Top-flange design for back-to-back installation - engineered for use on 2x6 (minimum) walls, eliminating the need for separate hardware when mirroring hangers across a fire wall
- Built-in drywall clearance - accommodates two layers of 5/8 in. gypsum board inserted after framing, so drywall installation proceeds without rework or repositioning of the hanger
- Intertek listed under Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01 - provides a recognized third-party fire-resistant rating that supports inspections and code submittals
- 10-gauge steel construction with G90 galvanized coating - delivers the structural strength and corrosion resistance required in demanding residential construction environments
Why This Product
- The only fire wall hanger built for the power nailer - because the DGHT is the first hanger of its type designed specifically for power-driven installation, framing crews can complete connections faster and keep projects on schedule ahead of drywall installation
- A fully tested, code-ready fire wall solution - with ASTM E814 testing, a two-hour fire rating, and Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01, this hanger arrives with the documentation that inspectors and code officials require for Type III multifamily construction
- Designed around the full wall assembly, not just the framing - the top-flange profile reserves space for two layers of 5/8 in. drywall to slip in after framing is done, so the fire wall assembly comes together in the correct sequence without added steps
- Rated for use on both sides of the wall - a single hanger model covers fire wall applications on either face, reducing the need to source and manage separate products for opposing sides of the assembly

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fire rating of the Simpson DGHT3.62/9.25, and what standard was it tested to?
The DGHT3.62/9.25 carries a two-hour fire rating. It has been tested according to ASTM E814 and is fire rated for use on both sides of the wall. It also holds Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01.
Can this hanger be installed using a power nailer?
Yes. The DGHT is the first fire wall hanger specifically designed to be installed 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, saving time prior to hanging drywall.
What size joist does the DGHT3.62/9.25 fit, and what fasteners are required?
This hanger is sized for a 3-1/2 in. x 9-1/4 in. joist. 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.
How does the top-flange design accommodate drywall installation?
The top-flange design provides space for two layers of 5/8-in. gypsum board (drywall) to be slipped into place after framing is complete. This allows the hanger to be fully nailed before drywall is hung, supporting a more efficient construction sequence without compromising the two-hour fire-rated assembly.
