Adams Rite 3103T 48 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Adams Rite 3103T-48 include the whole exit device or just the rod?
Top rod only. The 3103T-48 is the 48 inch legal top rod for a surface vertical rod exit device, sold as a replacement component, so the chassis, touchbar, bottom rod, latches and strikes are not part of it. If your device is failing at the head latch and the rod itself is bent, seized or missing, this is the piece you order. If the pushbar mechanism is the problem, you need a different part.
2) Can I use the Adams Rite 3103T-48 top rod on a fire rated door?
Yes. The 3103T-48 top rod is a fire rated component intended for fire rated door assemblies, which matters because a surface vertical rod device on a labeled opening has to latch at the head to keep the label valid. Keep the top latch engagement in adjustment after you swap the rod.
3) Will the 3103T-48 rod fit my door, or do I need a different length?
The 3103T-48 is cut for a 48 inch top rod, which covers standard commercial door configurations using a legal top rod. Measure the existing rod from the device chassis connection to the top latch before ordering. Taller openings that need a longer top rod run take a different rod length, not this one.
4) Is this an aftermarket rod or a genuine Adams Rite part?
Genuine Adams Rite. The 3103T-48 is an authentic Adams Rite replacement component for Adams Rite surface vertical rod exit devices, so the end fittings and rod diameter match the factory assembly rather than approximating it. That matters on a fire rated opening, where a non-original rod can put the assembly out of compliance.
5) Why does a surface vertical rod device need a top rod at all, and what does this one do?
On a surface vertical rod device, pushing the bar retracts latches at the head and the sill through rods running up and down the face of the door. The 3103T top rod carries the motion from the chassis to the top latch. Because the device latches into the frame head rather than a mullion, it is what lets a pair of doors secure without a center mullion. A worn or bent top rod means the top latch stops engaging, and on a fire door that is a failed opening.
6) What finish is the Adams Rite 3103T legal top rod?
Black anodized. It is an anodized aluminum-style finish that resists corrosion and keeps the rod visually consistent with dark storefront and commercial door hardware. If the rest of your device is aluminum or dark bronze anodized, expect a close but not always identical match across manufacturing lots.
7) Is the Adams Rite 3103T rated for high traffic commercial openings or is it a light duty part?
It is a commercial part, not residential. The 3103T-48 is built for high traffic commercial settings, which is where surface vertical rod devices take the most abuse. Typical uses are office buildings, schools, hospitals, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government buildings.
