MiTek has expanded the FWH Fire Wall Hanger series to  include the higher load carrying capacity FWHBP, the Fire  Wall Hanger for Beams and Purlins. The FWHBP transfers  the load into the supporting wall thru bearing on the top  plates and directly attaching to the stud pack or post below.  As with the FWH hanger, the advanced design allows you  to install the hangers before the drywall is attached, allowing your project to be completely framed-up and weather-tight before the drywall sheathing shows up on site.

Materials: 12 gauge

Finish: USP primer

Patents: Pending

Installation:

• Install the face of hanger flanges tight to stud wall framing.
• The end of the truss/joist should measure 1-5/8" from the face of the supporting wall.
• The truss/joist should bear fully on the FWH seat with a gap no greater than 1/8" between the end of the supported member and the hanger.
• Gypsum Wallboard Installation - Use the FWH-T template to slot cut the gypsum wallboard. See FWH-T Template Sequence. Slide the gypsum wallboard into position and fasten to the framing members meeting the minimum requirements specified by code.
