Simpson DU212 Drywall Face Mount Hanger w/SDS Screws – G90 Galvanized Made to Order Non-Returnable

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.
