The advanced design allows the installation of the FWH before the 58 gypsum wallboard (drywall) is attached and permits the building project to be completely framed-up, and weather-tight before the gypsum wallboard sheathing work starts.

Hour Fire Rating: FWH hangers are tested per ASTM E814 standards.

When installed on one side of a maximum 2 hour fire-rated wall assembly, the penetration of the MiTek FWH Fire Wall Hanger through the gypsum wallboard will not reduce the fire resistive rating of the 2 hour fire resistive assembly.

Patents: U.S. Patent No.

Slide the gypsum wallboard into position and fasten to the framing members meeting minimum requirements specified by code.
