Ideal for multifamily, multilevel Type III residential construction, the patent-pending DGT™ 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 DGT has been tested according to ASTM E814 and is fire rated for use on both sides of the wall.

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

  • 12 gauge

Finish

  • Galvanized G90

Installation

  • Use all specified fasteners. I-joists require web stiffeners.
  • DGT is mounted like a standard top-flange hanger.
  • Stud wall-plate splices must occur at a stud location.
  • DGT welded to steel header with (4) 1/8" x 1 1/2" fillet welds and (6) joist nails achieves a download of 1,700 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. Web stiffeners required for I-joists.
  5. DGT may be installed over 5/8" maximum wood structural sheathing. Use 0.72 of the table loads for uplift and download. Sheathing shall be installed flush with top of wall and fastened per code.
