The Simpson Strong-Tie DU Face-Mount Fire Wall Hanger is engineered to support plated truss, solid sawn lumber, and engineered wood members in two-hour, wood-stud fire-rated wall assemblies. Its innovative design allows joist installation on both sides of a fire-rated wall while maintaining the required separation, meeting rigorous code compliance standards.

Whether you're working on multifamily housing, hotels, or townhomes, the DU hanger ensures reliable load transfer while preserving the fire integrity of the wall system. The offset top-flange and precision engineering eliminate the need for cutting back the joist, simplifying installation and reducing labor time.

Key Features:

• Engineered for use in two-hour fire-rated assemblies.
• Allows for joist installation without compromising fire wall integrity.
• Face-mount design for simplified alignment and fast install.
• No joist modification required.
  

Applications:

• Multifamily Construction: Supports joists in demising fire-rated walls between units.
• Mixed-Use Buildings: Ensures code compliance where fire separation is required between occupancies.
• Retrofits & Remodels: Provides a compliant solution for updating older structures with fire-rated specs.

Installation:

• DU hangers are designed for installation on one side of a two-hour wood-stud fire wall.
