MiTek Releases FWH Fire Wall Hanger, A New USP Structural
Connector Product
FWH Fire Wall Hanger Attaches Floor Framing to 2-hour Fire Rated Wall
Assemblies in Wood-Frame Construction. FWH Allows Framers to Install the
Hangers Before the Drywall is Attached.
Chesterfield, MO (July 22, 2014) MiTek USA, a leading manufacturer of code-
approved structural connectors, developer of software tools for structural design
and product selection, and distributor of anchors, epoxy, tools, and safety
equipment, today announced the national availability of its new FWH Fire Wall
Hanger.
FWH Fire Wall Hanger. The FWH Series Fire Wall Hanger is the industry’s
most economical solution for attaching floor framing to two-hour fire rated
wall assemblies in wood-frame construction. The FWH Series Fire Wall
Hanger’s advanced design has an ASTM E814 approved two-hour resistive
rating, and it allows framers to install the hangers before the drywall is
attached. This allows the project to be completely framed-up and weather-
tight when the drywall sheathing is delivered to the site. The FWH Series
Fire Wall Hanger accommodates two plies of 5/8” drywall and is designed to
support 4x2 open-web trusses and the most common I-joist sizes. Driving
points easily mark slot locations on drywall without measuring.
