Ideal for multifamily, multilevel Type III residential construction, the patent-pending DGHT™ is a load-tested fire wall hanger with a two-hour fire rating. It's the first fire wall hanger designed to install with a power nailer, saving time before hanging drywall, which helps keep construction projects on schedule. This top-flange hanger provides space for two layers of 5/8" gypsum board (drywall) to be slipped into place after the framing is complete. The DGHT has been tested according to ASTM E814 and is fire rated for use on both sides of the wall. This heavier gauge hanger is available in standard, skewed or concealed options.

Key Features

  • Loads tested and code listed for 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" power-driven or hand-installed nails
  • Two-hour fire rating applies to 2x4 or thicker walls
  • Innovative top-flange design for back-to-back installation on 2x6 (min.) walls
  • Space for two layers of 5/8" drywall after framing
  • Two-hour Fire-Resistant rating Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01

Material

  • 10 gauge

Finish

  • Galvanized G90

Installation

  • Use all specified fasteners. I-joists require web stiffeners.
  • DGHT is mounted like a standard top-flange hanger. 
  • Stud wall-plate splices must occur at a stud location.
  • DGHT welded to steel header with (4) 3/16" x 1 1/2" fillet welds and (6) joist nails achieves a download of 2,700 lb. Face flanges require full backing.

  1. Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other loads govern.
  2. Allowable loads are for 2x4 minimum stud wall or nailer. Back-to-back installations require a minimum 2x6. Wall design by Designer.
  3. Hangers spaced closer than 16" o.c. shall reduce allowable load proportionately (e.g. for hangers spaced at 12" o.c., adjust tabulated loads by 12/16 = 0.75).
  4. Where "(over studs)" is listed, DGHT installation requires a minimum (2) 2x4 stud or post in the wall at hanger location. Post design by designer. Where "(over studs with SDWC)" is listed, install SDWC15600 per the figure in the image gallery.
  5. DGHT hangers may be skewed up to 45°. Skew and concealed flange options cannot be combined. For skewed DGHT, apply 0.78 factor on hanger widths of 1 9/16"–3 5/8" and 0.57 factor on widths of 3 11/16"–7 1/4" for uplift and download. Square cut or bevel cut joist allowed. For DGHT one face flange concealed, use 0.74 of the table loads for uplift and download.
  6. Web stiffeners required for I-joists.
  7. DGHT may be installed over 5/8" maximum wood structural sheathing. Use 0.75 of the table loads for uplift and download. Sheathing shall be installed flush with top of wall and fastened per code.
  8. Fasteners: Nail dimensions are listed diameter by length. SDWC15600 = 0.152" shank diameter x 6" long Strong-Drive SDWC Truss Screw.
