Description:
The patent-pending Simpson DGT™ is a load-tested fire wall hanger with a two-hour fire rating and ideal for multifamily, multilevel Type III residential construction. The first of its kind, the DGT fire wall hanger is designed to install with a power nailer to save time before hanging drywall allowing for greater construction project efficiency. After framing is complete, this top-flange hanger provides space for two layers of 5/8" gypsum board (drywall) to be slipped into place. The DGT has been tested according to ASTM E814 and is fire rated for use on both sides of the wall.
NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
