The Detex 08GS Wide Trim Spacer is a mounting accessory specifically designed to support wide lever trims—including those with spring-loaded tailpieces—used in conjunction with 02, 08, 09, and 14DN function trims. This spacer allows for proper engagement between the tailpiece and the internal exit device components when installed on Advantex or Value Series hardware platforms.
Critical for ensuring mechanical alignment and function, the 08GS spacer provides the required extension to accommodate trim operation on doors with deeper frame profiles or when standard trim dimensions fall short. It is used when installing cylinder-only wide lever trims and must be paired with a separately ordered trim (handing must be specified).
This spacer enhances the reliability and longevity of Detex exit hardware by ensuring precise operation under heavy-duty use, making it ideal for institutional, commercial, and public facility applications.
