Product Description
The Simpson DGT Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger is a patent-pending, load-tested hanger engineered for multifamily and multilevel Type III residential construction where fire-rated wall assemblies are required. Designed to accept 3-1/2 in. x 24 in. engineered wood members, this top-flange hanger is the first fire wall hanger built to install with a power nailer, cutting labor time before drywall goes up and helping keep framing schedules on track. Its innovative top-flange configuration leaves clear space for two layers of 5/8-in. gypsum board to be slipped into place after framing is complete, and it carries a two-hour fire rating tested to ASTM E814 for use on both sides of the wall.
Key Features
- Power nailer compatible - first fire wall hanger of its kind to support power-driven installation - reduces hand-nailing time during the framing phase so crews can move faster without sacrificing code compliance.
- Two-hour fire rating on 2x4 or thicker walls - tested to ASTM E814 and rated for use on both sides of the wall, giving builders confidence in code-compliant fire wall assemblies.
- Intertek certified under Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01 - third-party verified fire-resistant rating provides documentation support for inspections and plan submissions.
- Innovative top-flange design for back-to-back installation on 2x6 (min.) walls - allows two hangers to be mounted in opposition without conflict, streamlining layout in fire wall assemblies.
- Post-framing drywall clearance built in - accommodates two layers of 5/8-in. gypsum board slipped into place after framing is complete, eliminating the need to work around installed drywall.
- Code listed for both 1-1/2 in. and 2-1/2 in. nails, hand- or power-driven - gives installers flexibility in fastener choice without stepping outside tested and listed parameters.
- Made from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish - heavy-gauge construction and corrosion-resistant coating support long-term structural integrity in demanding construction environments.
Why This Product
- Built for the speed of modern framing crews - as the first fire wall hanger designed for power nailer installation, it removes a bottleneck that traditionally required hand-nailing, keeping multifamily projects moving before drywall installation begins.
- Fire rating backed by independent testing - the two-hour fire-resistant rating under Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01 and ASTM E814 testing on both sides of the wall means contractors are not relying on manufacturer claims alone when fire-wall compliance is on the line.
- Designed to simplify sequencing on fire wall assemblies - the top-flange design with built-in space for two layers of 5/8-in. drywall means framing and drywall trades can work in the right order without structural compromise, reducing coordination headaches on multilevel Type III projects.
- Wide size range within the DGT product line - the DGT series is offered in multiple sizes, making it straightforward to select the right hanger for each application without sourcing from multiple product families or manufacturers.
