The Simpson Strong-Tie DGBF fire wall hangers are a great time saving solution for multi-level building construction. These hangers are easily installed on either 2x4 or 2x6 two-hour wood stud fire walls while framing. These hangers have been tested according to ASTM E814 and received F (flame) and T (temperature) ratings for use on one or both sides of the wall. These ratings verify that the hangers do not reduce the two-hour fire wall assembly rating. The DGHF is a top-flange hanger that connects floor trusses and joists to wood stud walls. The hanger features an angled joist stop whose unique design prevents the joist from seating too far back in the stirrup, creating space for the drywall to be installed between the joist and the wall after framing. The DGHF features a top-flange design allowing hangers to be installed and fit together back to back.

• Use all specified fasteners.
• Hangers are mounted like a standard top-flange hanger.
• I-joists require web stiffeners to achieve full table loads. I-joists without web stiffeners have reduced loads as shown in the table.
• When welded to a steel header, the hanger requires two 2" fillet welds along the sides of the top flange and (8) 0.148" x 1 1/2" joist nails to achieve a download of 3,000 lb.; weld size to match hanger thickness.
• Table uplift loads apply to welded applications.
• Stud wall–plate splices must occur at a stud location.
