Whether you\’re working with plated trusses, solid sawn lumber, or engineered wood, the DHU delivers versatile, code-compliant performance in demanding construction environments. Key Features: Fire-Rated Performance: Designed for use on two-hour fire-rated wall assemblies, tested for use with both 2×4 and 2×6 wall construction. Flexible Installation: Can be installed after drywall, and configured with concealed flanges or skewed up to 45 as needed. Material Versatility: Compatible with plated trusses, solid sawn lumber, and engineered wood joists. Installation: Hanger must be installed after drywall is applied to the wall assembly. Fasten using Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws as specified per application. Top of hanger should be flush with the top of the wood wall and tight to the drywall face. Ensure wall top plates are restrained to resist rotation. For gravity loads under 150 plf, use a stud-plate tie connector or equivalent restraint. Position top plate splices over studs for maximum structural performance.
