Deltana PDVR48 Panic Device Rim 48" Vertical Rod

The strike ships with the device. Nothing extra to add for the latching hardware itself. Outside trim is not part of the package, so if you need keyed or lever entry from the pull side, that gets specified on its own.

No. A surface vertical rod device latches into the head frame and the threshold rather than into the strike jamb, so it secures a door leaf without a center mullion. That is the main reason to choose vertical rod over a rim device, which does need a mullion on a pair.

The Deltana PDVR48 is a 48 inch surface vertical rod panic device in cold roll steel, UL listed, with allen-key dogging and a strike included. If the opening is a labeled fire door, specify a device carried with a fire rating instead: the Adams Rite 3100 Series is a fire-rated wide stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Arrow S1150 is a fire-rated surface vertical rod device sold less trim for narrow or wide stile, and the TownSteel EF9727 from the 9700 Series is a fire-rated ANSI Grade 1 heavy duty device for a 36 x 84 wide stile wood or metal door. Fire-rated openings also cannot use dogging, which is why the allen-key dogging on the Deltana points to non-labeled exits.

The Deltana PDVR48 is a 48 inch surface vertical rod panic device sized for doors up to 7 feet, supplied in an aluminum finish with the strike included. For a narrow stile aluminum storefront leaf, the devices carried specifically for that stile are the Adams Rite 8200 Series life-safety narrow stile device, the Von Duprin 3327A grooved case narrow stile device for 36 inch doors, the Von Duprin 7527 from the 75 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED4400, the Falcon 19-V-EO, and the TownSteel ED3727. Narrow stile devices have a shallower case and end cap footprint so the rail clears the glass stop on a storefront leaf.

The Deltana PDVR48 is a 48 inch panic device for doors up to 7 feet built in cold roll steel and UL listed. When a drawing or institutional spec names ANSI Grade 1 explicitly, go to a device carried with that grade: the Von Duprin 2227 is a non-handed wide stile Grade 1 device for 36 inch doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a Grade 1 wide stile device that accepts trim, the Falcon 20 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile exit-only device, and the Sargent 3727 is a Grade 1 wide stile device with a standard push bar. For narrow stile aluminum storefront, the Von Duprin 3327A and Corbin Russwin ED4400 are the Grade 1 narrow stile equivalents.

The PDVR48 is UL Listed. That is the only listing carried on the device, so if your opening requires a labeled fire door assembly, confirm the fire rating separately; Deltana states the UL listing without a fire rating on this model.

Yes, it has Allen-key dogging. Depress the pushpad, insert the hex key, and the pad stays retracted so the door pushes open freely. Note that dogging is generally not permitted on fire-rated openings, so use it only on non-labeled doors.

No. The PDVR48 is a two-point surface vertical rod set with top and bottom rods and the strike included. If you want to eliminate the floor strike for cleaning and snow, order a less-bottom-rod device such as the Orca Hardware OED56, which is built LBR for 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Deltana PDVR48 is a UL listed cold roll steel panic device, 48 inches long for doors up to 7 feet, and it is carried on the residential side of the catalog. For a heavily used commercial or institutional exit, buyers usually standardize on a heavy duty Grade 1 device: the Design Hardware 1000V is a 33 inch heavy duty surface vertical rod device, the TownSteel EF9727 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire-rated unit, and the Dexter ED1000 and ED1500 Series are both Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices. Those are the families to specify when the opening cycles all day and an ANSI grade has to appear on the submittal.

The Deltana PDVR48 is supplied as a rim-style panic device with vertical rod, strike included and allen-key dogging for holding the latches retracted during business hours. If the opening needs keyed or lever entry from the outside, choose a device carried as accepting trim: the Corbin Russwin ED4400 and ED5400 are both listed as exit only or accepts trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a narrow stile crossbar device that accepts operator trim. Devices listed as exit only, such as the Falcon 24-V-EO, the Arrow 3700 Series, and the Orca OED56, are pushed from inside only with no outside operation.

The Deltana PDVR48 uses allen-key dogging, so a hex wrench holds the push rail down and the rods retracted for daytime traffic. Among the comparable devices, the Von Duprin 7827 is a 3 ft wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod device carried specifically with hex key dogging. Keep in mind dogging is only appropriate on a non-labeled opening; fire-rated devices such as the Adams Rite 3100 Series and the TownSteel EF9727 are not dogged.

The Deltana PDVR48 is a cold roll steel panic device with a 48 inch rail for doors up to 7 feet, finished in aluminum. For lower-traffic openings where a Grade 1 device is more than the job needs, the Design Hardware 2000V is a 33 inch standard duty surface vertical rod device, the Orca OED56 is a 36 inch standard duty non-handed device supplied less bottom rod, and the Dexter ED2000 Series and TownSteel TS5100 Series are both carried at Grade 2. The less-bottom-rod configuration on the Orca also removes the bottom latch and strike, which matters where floor conditions or carpet make a bottom rod impractical.

The Deltana PDVR48 is an operating panic device with a 48 inch vertical rod and strike included. On a pair where the inactive leaf only needs to look like the active one without functioning as an exit, a dummy device is the correct part: the Sargent 12-8710 is a wide stile surface vertical rod device in the 8700 Series carried with a dummy function and a fire rating. Ordering a second operating device for that leaf gives you a working push rail where the drawing called for a matching face only.

The Deltana PDVR48 is a 48 inch panic device with allen-key dogging and the strike included. If you would rather not pin down handing on the order, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 device carried as non-handed, the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile device, the BEST Precision 5201 is a 36 inch reversible device, and the Orca OED56 is a 36 inch non-handed device. Non-handed and reversible units let one part number cover both leaves of a pair or a mixed set of openings across a property.

The Deltana PDVR48 is a cold roll steel panic device with a 48 inch rail sized for doors up to 7 feet. Where the leaf is wood, the TownSteel devices are the ones carried as wood door compatible: the EF9727 fire-rated Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile unit, the ED8927 Grade 1 wide stile unit, and the ED3727 Grade 1 narrow stile unit, all for a 36 x 84 opening. The Von Duprin 7527 and 7827 are both listed as not wood door compatible, so they are the wrong pick for that substrate.

Aluminum is the finish offered on the PDVR48. If you are matching darker or plated hardware across a building, you would be standardizing on a different device rather than this one.
