you are talking sheetrock rock betweem joists and nailer? so we can't use hanger, it will has to be bear on nailer. will that crush sheetrock?
also do we have to PAF wood nailer to steel beam? we do, but I dont know why.

So if with hanger, extend sheetrock to beam web, and fire spray beam.
if bear on top, still extend sheetrock and drop down to beam web surface, then fire spray beam. am i right?

Apparently, the hangers are not only top hung, but also side hailed into a wood ledger fit between the flanges of the steel beam - not uncommon.
