Deltana PDVR36UL Panic Device Rim 36" Vertical Rod, UL 3 Hours Fire-Rated

The PDVR36UL is UL Listed and carries a 3 hour fire rating, so it can go on a fire rated opening where a 3 hour assembly is required. Fire rated vertical rod devices latch top and bottom and cannot be dogged down, which is exactly what a fire door needs.

It is a 36 inch device, sized for a standard 3 foot wide door leaf. On a narrower leaf the pushpad rail would overhang, so measure the leaf width before ordering.

The strike is included with the PDVR36UL, so the top latching point is covered in the box. Any outside trim or pull is a separate item.

Yes. A surface vertical rod device latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into the jamb, so a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion. If your opening is a single door in a frame, a rim device with a strike on the jamb is the simpler choice.

Deltana classifies the PDVR36UL as residential duty. For a school, hospital, or other heavy traffic commercial opening, a Grade 1 fire rated device such as the TownSteel EF9727 (36 x 84 heavy duty, wide stile) or the Arrow S1150 is built for that cycle count.

The Deltana PDVR36UL is a 36 inch surface vertical rod panic device that is UL listed and 3 hour fire rated. For other fire-rated surface vertical rod options at the same 36 inch door width, the TownSteel EF9727 (TWS-E9F727-3684) is an ANSI Grade 1 certified heavy duty device listed as fire rated for a 36 inch by 84 inch wide stile door and noted as wood door compatible. The Sargent 2727 is a Grade 1 fire rated reversible wide stile surface vertical rod device in the 20 Series, exit only function.

The Deltana PDVR36UL is a stainless steel 36 inch surface vertical rod panic device with UL 3 hour fire rating and an included strike. If a Grade 1 device is written into the spec, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for 36 inch doors with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile device that accepts trim, and the Falcon 20-V is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile exit only device.

For narrow stile openings, the Von Duprin 3327A-3ft is a Grade 1 grooved case narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 36 inch doors, the Von Duprin 7527-3ft is a Grade 1 narrow stile device for 3 ft doors and is listed as not wood door compatible, and the Corbin Russwin ED4400 is a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile device that accepts trim. The Falcon 19-V-EO is another Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch exit only option. All four list a 1-3/4 inch door thickness.

The Deltana PDVR36UL is UL listed and 3 hour fire rated, so on a labeled fire door it cannot be swapped for a life-safety or panic-only device. The Adams Rite 8100 Series and 8200 Series 30 inch surface vertical rod devices are both listed as not fire rated, as are the BEST Precision 2201 and 5201 Series 36 inch devices, the Design Hardware 2000V, and the TownSteel ED8927 Grade 1 36 inch by 84 inch wide stile device. Those suit non-rated egress openings only.

No. The Deltana PDVR36UL is a functioning rim panic device with vertical rod and strike included. The Sargent 12-8710 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in the 8700 Series with a dummy function, meaning it does not latch or operate as an exit device and is used for appearance matching on the inactive leaf.

No. On a non-rated opening you can use a life safety device instead, which allows dogging so the door can be pushed open freely during business hours. The Von Duprin 2227 (36 inch wide stile, Grade 1), the Falcon 20 Series 36 inch, or the Von Duprin 7827 with hex key dogging all cover that case.

No. The PDVR36UL is a single 36 inch stainless device and is not offered in a narrow stile case. For a narrow stile aluminum storefront, look at the Corbin Russwin ED4400 (Grade 1, narrow stile, 36 inch), the Von Duprin 3327A, or the Falcon 19-V-EO, though those are listed as non fire rated.

The Deltana PDVR36UL is classified as residential in its product data, built in stainless steel at 36 inch with a UL 3 hour fire rating. For openings where a heavy duty commercial device is called for, the TownSteel EF9727 is a heavy duty Grade 1 fire rated 36 inch by 84 inch wide stile device, the TownSteel TS5100 is a heavy duty Grade 2 wide stile 36 inch by 84 inch device, and the Design Hardware 1000V is a heavy duty surface vertical rod device in a 33 inch size.

If handing flexibility matters for a stocked device, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a non-handed Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for 36 inch doors, the BEST Precision 5201 Series 36 inch device is reversible, the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated wide stile device, and the Orca OED56 36 inch device is non-handed and supplied less bottom rod in an aluminum finish. The Deltana PDVR36UL itself is offered in an aluminum finish.

For rated leaves, the Deltana PDVR36UL provides a 36 inch UL listed 3 hour fire rated rim panic device in stainless steel. Staying within one manufacturer family across mixed openings is possible with TownSteel, where the EF9727 covers the fire rated 36 inch by 84 inch wide stile position and the ED8927 covers the non-rated Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch by 84 inch position, with ED3727 as the narrow stile equivalent. Falcon similarly offers the 24-V-EO narrow stile and 25-V-EO wide stile Grade 1 exit only devices at 3 ft for 1-3/4 inch doors.

Both the device body and substrate are stainless steel, which handles humidity and washdown better than a plated steel case. The finish offered is aluminum.

The PDVR36UL is offered in aluminum only. If the openings need to match a bronze or black package, you would be matching with trim and other hardware rather than the device itself.

The Deltana PDVR36UL is a rim panic device with a vertical rod. If the opening calls for a crossbar or push bar actuator, the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod device on 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 3727 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device with a standard push bar, exit only, in the 30 Series. The Arrow 3700 Series 30 inch device uses a wide stile pushpad.
