Arrow VRX-18 US10 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Arrow VRX-18 and when do I need one?
The VRX-18 is an 18 inch extension rod for Arrow SVR series surface vertical rod exit devices. You order one when the existing extension rod is damaged or worn, or when a door height change means the current rod no longer covers the distance between the device and the top or bottom latch. It is an Arrow OEM exit device part, not a universal rod.
2) Will the VRX-18 rod fit a non-Arrow vertical rod exit device?
No. The VRX-18 is built to Arrow's tolerances for Arrow SVR series vertical rod devices. If your opening has a Von Duprin, Detex or other brand device, order that manufacturer's own rod. Rod ends, diameters and connector prep are not interchangeable between brands.
3) Is the 18 inch length adjustable, or do I need to order a different rod for a taller door?
The VRX-18 is a factory-specified 18 inch rod. It is the correct part only where an 18 inch extension is called for in the SVR assembly. For a taller opening you need the extension rod length Arrow specifies for that door height, not a cut-down or stretched VRX-18. Measure the existing rod before ordering.
4) What finishes does the Arrow VRX-18 extension rod come in?
Eight finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 626 satin chrome, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless, and AL aluminum painted. If you are matching an existing bank of doors, the rod is often the visible portion above and below the push bar, so pick the code that matches the device trim already on the opening rather than assuming AL.
5) Does ordering the VRX-18 give me everything needed to get the exit device latching again?
It gives you the extension rod only. If the top or bottom latch, latch case, or rod guides were damaged at the same time, those are separate Arrow parts. Diagnose why the rod failed first: a bent rod on a door that has dropped or a frame that has racked will bend the new one too.
6) My pair of doors has no mullion and the device latches top and bottom. Is this the right kind of rod?
Yes, that describes a surface vertical rod setup, which is what the VRX-18 serves. An SVR device throws latches into the head frame and the threshold, which is how a pair of doors is secured without a center mullion. If your device instead latches into a mullion at the edge of the door, it is a rim device and takes no vertical rod at all.
7) Is this a commercial-duty part or something for residential doors?
Commercial. The VRX-18 is catalogued for commercial door hardware service, and surface vertical rod exit devices of this type are found on office, school, healthcare, retail, warehouse and municipal egress openings. It is a maintenance and repair item for those installations.
8) What is the VRX-18 rod made of, and will it hold up in a humid or exterior opening?
Aluminum with a painted finish. The paint gives corrosion resistance and keeps the appearance consistent across a run of doors, and the aluminum keeps the moving rod light so push-bar actuation stays easy. For a heavily corrosive or wash-down environment, a stainless finish option is the more sensible pick.
