Product Overview
DHU210TF Top-Flange Fire Wall Hanger
Engineered and tested to perform, Simpson Strong-Tie® hangers are manufactured to the highest quality standards for structural strength and safety. The DHUTF top-mount hanger is designed to carry joist floor loads to a wood stud wall over two layers of 5/8" gypsum board (drywall). This hanger installs after the drywall is in place.
Key Features
- Available to order skewed up to 45°.
- Testing verifies that the DHUTF hangers do not reduce the two-hour fire wall assembly rating in either 2x4 or 2x6 walls.
- DHUTF fire wall hangers are code listed for structural use under ICC-ES ESR-2552.
- 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 in Intertek Design No. SST/WPCF 120-01. If hangers are installed on both sides of the wall, then it must be a 2x6 wall.
Material

Installation
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
- Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are provided with the hanger.
- Drywall is installed first.
- Wall top plates must be restrained to prevent rotation. Where gravity load on top of wall is less than 150 plf, use a stud-plate tie connector at the back of each stud or provide equivalent restraint by another method as determined by designer.
- Upper plate splices must occur at a stud location.
