ABH EL019U-RH-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I get power from the frame into a lead-lined door without running a door loop?
An electrified intermediate pivot like the ABH EL019U carries the power through the pivot itself. It mortises into the side jamb and the hinge edge of the door and transfers current frame to door through (2) 18 AWG wires rated 2 amps continuous each, so there is no surface loop or cable to route across the gap. That matters on lead-lined doors, where a hinge-side transfer hinge is usually not an option and the lining has to stay intact around the prep.
2) Can the ABH EL019U electrified pivot be used on a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes. The EL019U is UL listed as standard for use on 3-hour fire rated doors, which covers it in the assemblies most commonly specified for stair enclosures and hazardous-area separations. It is also built for lead-lined door construction, so a fire-rated lead-lined opening in an imaging suite is exactly the application it is intended for.
3) Do I have to specify handing on an ABH EL019U intermediate pivot?
Yes, handing is required. The EL019U is made left hand or right hand and it is not field reversible, so the order has to state the swing. Determine handing from the outside of the door, standing on the side the door swings away from: hinges on the left is left hand, hinges on the right is right hand. Every finish is offered in both hands.
4) Is one intermediate pivot enough, or do I need a top and bottom pivot too?
An intermediate pivot is not a complete hanging set. The EL019U is the middle pivot in an offset hung arrangement, so it carries the electrical transfer and helps support the leaf, but the door still needs a matching 3/4 inch offset top pivot and bottom pivot to hang and pivot on. Order those alongside it in the same 3/4 inch offset.
5) Will 2 amps be enough to run an electric strike or a maglock through this pivot?
The EL019U runs (2) 18 AWG conductors at 2 amps continuous each, and it is built to take the large inrush current a solenoid device draws on the initial pull. Two conductors gives you one power pair, so it suits a single electrified device on the door such as an electric latch retraction trim or an electrified lock. If your opening also needs monitoring or request-to-exit signals back to the frame, that requires more conductors than this pivot carries.
6) Can I use this pivot on a door that is center hung or butt hinged?
No. The EL019U is an offset hung pivot, so it only works on a door prepped for offset pivots with the leaf set off the frame face. A center hung door pivots on the door's own centerline and takes an entirely different pivot; a butt hinged door needs an electric hinge or a door loop instead. Check how the existing door is hung before you specify this one.
7) What can I use instead of the ABH EL019U if the opening does not need power transfer through the pivot?
The Calibre Door Closers PV1000 is a 3/4 inch offset flush pivot set, so it hangs the door on the same 3/4 inch offset geometry without carrying wire. The ABH EL019U is the electrified intermediate pivot, built to move power from frame to door with (2) 18 AWG wires rated 2 amps continuously each. If the door leaf has no electric lock, strike, or exit device to feed, a non-electrified 3/4 inch offset set covers the hanging duty on its own.
8) Is a 3/4 inch offset pivot set a drop-in replacement for the EL019U?
No. The Calibre PV1000 is a 3/4 inch offset flush pivot set - a set that hangs the door at top and bottom. The ABH EL019U is an intermediate pivot, the extra bearing point mortised into the jamb and hinge edge between the top and bottom pivots, and on this one that intermediate location is also where the electrical transfer lives. Ordering the set does not replace the intermediate; on an electrified lead-lined opening you are usually buying both.
9) Does the ABH EL019U meet Buy American requirements for a federal job?
Yes. The EL019U is BAA qualified, so it can be submitted on government and institutional work carrying Buy American Act provisions. Combined with the 3-hour UL fire listing, that covers the two approval items that usually hold up a submittal on a federal or municipal opening.
10) What is the ABH EL019U pivot made of, and will it hold up in a hospital corridor?
Stainless steel base material with stainless steel needle bearings, rated heavy duty for commercial service. Needle bearings in the pivot carry the door load through the swing rather than letting it grind on a plain bushing, which is what you want on a lead-lined leaf, since the lead adds substantial weight over a standard door of the same size.
11) What is the difference between an electrified pivot and a standard offset pivot set?
A standard offset pivot set just hangs and pivots the door. The EL019U does that and passes power across the opening at the same time, through wires built into the pivot body. If nothing on the door needs power, a plain offset set is the simpler buy, and ZenSupply carries non-electrified 3/4 inch offset options such as the Calibre Door Closers PV1000 flush pivot set and the BEST A3 System offset hung pivot set, which is also fire rated. Choose the electrified pivot only where an electric lock, strike, or exit device trim sits on the leaf.
12) Do I need to give ABH a layout or opening details when ordering this pivot?
For a non-standard opening, yes. ABH publishes a Pivot and Pivot Sets Special Layout Order Form that has to be downloaded and submitted with the order when the door or frame condition is not standard, and a Pivot Set Configurations sheet showing how the intermediate, top, and bottom pivots lay out on the opening. For the wiring side, the EZ Connect wire color and position diagram for Micro-Fit 3.0 connectors tells your electrician which conductor is which before terminating.
13) I need to replace an electrified intermediate pivot from another manufacturer. Will the ABH work?
ABH publishes a pivots cross reference chart that maps competitor pivot models to the equivalent ABH part, and a substitution request form for getting an ABH pivot approved in place of a specified brand on a project. Work the cross reference first with the model stamped on the pivot you are pulling, then confirm the offset is 3/4 inch and the handing matches before ordering the EL019U.
14) We are standardizing pivots across a hospital imaging wing. Does the BEST A3 cover the lead-lined doors too?
The BEST A3 System is an offset hung pivot set and is fire rated, which suits the general fire-rated openings in the wing. For the lead-lined leaves in imaging and radiology, the ABH EL019U is the part built for that condition - a heavy duty intermediate pivot with stainless steel needle bearings and a stainless steel base, mortised into the side jamb and hinge edge of a lead-lined door, and carrying power for electric hardware on the leaf. A facility standard usually ends up naming a general offset set plus the EL019U at the shielded openings.
15) Our spec requires Buy American Act compliance on the pivots - which of these meets it?
The ABH EL019U is BAA qualified, which is why it turns up on government and institutional submittals. It is a commercial, heavy duty, offset hung intermediate pivot in stainless steel, electrified with (2) 18 AWG wires at 2 amps continuously each. If a submittal is being built around a BAA line item for the electrified intermediate, the EL019U is the part number to carry.
16) What finishes does the ABH EL019U electrified pivot come in?
Fourteen finishes, in both hands: painted aluminum, painted brass, painted bronze, painted black, painted dark bronze, painted white, satin bronze, oil rubbed bronze, bright chrome, bright brass, bright stainless steel, satin stainless steel, satin brass, and bright bronze. On an offset hung opening the intermediate pivot is visible on the jamb face, so most specs match it to the top and bottom pivots and to the frame.
17) Does the Calibre PV1000 need handing the way the ABH EL019U does?
The ABH EL019U is ordered handed - left hand or right hand - to match the door swing, across all 14 finishes from Painted Aluminum and Painted White through Satin Stainless Steel and Oil Rubbed Bronze. The Calibre PV1000 is identified as a 3/4 inch offset flush pivot set. Confirm the swing at the opening before releasing the EL019U line, since a handed electrified intermediate mortised into the wrong edge is not field-reversible.
