Detex Wide Lever Trim Spacer for 02/08/09/14DN Functions - Advantex & Value Series

Professional Trim Mounting Accessory for Exit Device Applications

The Detex Wide Lever Trim Spacer is a precision mounting accessory designed to support wide lever trims with spring-loaded tailpieces for 02, 08, 09, and 14DN function trims. This critical component ensures proper mechanical alignment and engagement between the tailpiece and internal exit device components when installed on Detex Advantex or Value Series hardware platforms. The spacer provides the required extension to accommodate trim operation on doors with deeper frame profiles or when standard trim dimensions require adjustment for optimal function.

  • Series Compatibility: Designed specifically for use with Detex Advantex and Value Series exit devices for seamless integration.
  • Precision Alignment: Ensures proper tailpiece engagement with exit device mechanisms to maintain reliable operation under heavy-duty use.
  • Wide Trim Support: Accommodates cylinder-only wide lever trim configurations for enhanced door control functionality.
  • Profile Accommodation: Provides required extension for doors with deeper frame profiles or alignment offset requirements.
  • Commercial-Grade Construction: Manufactured from commercial-grade Detex mounting hardware materials for institutional and public facility durability.
  • Handing Specification: Right Hand Reverse (RHR) handing specified for proper installation orientation.
  • Stress Reduction: Promotes smooth trim actuation and reduces mechanical stress on internal exit device components.

Detex 08GS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which Detex trim functions does the 08GS spacer work with?
It covers the 02, 08, 09 and 14DN trim functions, specifically the cylinder-only wide lever configurations that use a spring-loaded tailpiece. Trims outside those functions, or trims without a spring-loaded tailpiece, are not what this spacer was cut for.
2) Can a Detex 08GS wide lever trim spacer replace a vertical rod exit device?
No. The 08GS is a mounting spacer that supports wide lever trim with a spring-loaded tailpiece on Detex Advantex and Value Series exit devices, so it only has a job when a device is already on the door. If the opening needs the panic device itself, that is a separate part such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT wide stile surface vertical rod exit device or the Imperial USA ED-VR531 from the ED-500 Series, both Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices.
3) Will the Detex 08GS trim spacer fit a Von Duprin or Marks USA exit device?
The 08GS is built to the Detex Advantex and Value Series platforms and to Detex 02, 08, 09 and 14DN trim functions, so it is not a cross-brand part. A Von Duprin 8827-3FT is an 88 Series wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors and a Marks USA M9900VR is a non-handed vertical rod device; trim accessories for those come from their own device families. Keep the spacer on Detex hardware and match the trim to the device brand already hung.
4) The opening needs a fire rated vertical rod device, not a trim accessory. What works?
The 08GS spacer is a trim mounting piece and carries no fire rating of its own; the rating comes from the device on the door. For a fire rated surface vertical rod opening, the Delaney F9100 Series device (DLY-694300) is Grade 1 and fire rated in an aluminum finish for a 36 by 84 inch door, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR fire rated vertical rod device at 36 by 84 inches and the M9900F-VR at 48 by 84 inches, both exit only.
5) My Detex lever trim tailpiece is not engaging the exit device. Do I need a new trim or a spacer?
If the trim is the right function (02, 08, 09 or 14DN wide lever with a spring-loaded tailpiece) and the problem is that the tailpiece sits short of full engagement, the spacer is the fix, not a new trim. It adds the extension the assembly needs so the tailpiece seats and the lever actuates smoothly, which also takes stress off the device's internal parts. Replacing the trim will not help if the gap is a frame-profile depth issue.
6) If I am replacing the whole Detex vertical rod device instead of adding trim parts, what wide stile devices are comparable?
For a wide stile surface vertical rod replacement, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile device in the 88 Series rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile exit-only device in the ED-500 Series at 36 inches. Note that neither is fire rated, so if the opening is in a rated wall you need a fire rated device instead. Also note the 08GS spacer is a Detex-platform part and does not carry over to either of these.
7) We do not need lever trim at all, just push to exit. Do we still need the wide lever trim spacer?
No. The 08GS exists to align a wide lever trim tailpiece with the exit device mechanism, so an exit only opening with no outside trim has nothing for it to support. Exit only vertical rod devices include the Marks USA M9900VR at 36 by 84 inches and the M9900VR at 48 by 84 inches, the Cal-Royal 9860 heavy duty Grade 2 device, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 Grade 1 wide stile device, all listed as exit only function.
8) Our Detex device is right hand reverse. Is a non-handed device an option if we are replacing the whole assembly?
The 08GS spacer is specified Right Hand Reverse, so it follows the handing of the Detex trim it supports. If the plan is to swap the assembly rather than add trim support, Marks USA lists the M9900VR 36 by 84 inch vertical rod panic device as non-handed, which removes handing from the order line; the Delaney 9100 Series device (DLY-692301) is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod for a 36 by 84 inch door in stainless steel, and the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) is a Grade 1 vertical rod device at the same door size.
9) Is the Detex 08GS spacer suitable for a school or hospital with standardized Detex exit hardware?
Yes, and that is the typical case for it. Facilities that have standardized on Detex Advantex or Value Series hardware use the 08GS to keep wide lever trim engagement consistent across openings, which is what keeps the lever action smooth and holds mechanical stress off the device internals under heavy traffic. Buy it by the model so your stock room carries one spacer rather than one per door type, but remember the RHR handing spec applies to the trim you pair it with.
10) What is the difference between a Grade 1 and Grade 2 vertical rod device if we are standardizing a facility around Detex trim?
Among surface vertical rod devices, the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 device with ADA compliance and no fire rating, while the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Imperial USA ED-VR531, Delaney 9100 Series and Delaney 8100 Series are Grade 1 devices, and the Delaney F9100 Series adds a fire rating at Grade 1. Grade drives the cycle and strength testing the device is certified to; the Detex 08GS spacer is a trim alignment part for Advantex and Value Series devices and does not change the grade of the opening.
11) The door is 48 inches wide. Does the Detex trim spacer change with door width?
No. The 08GS supports the trim tailpiece at the device, so door width is set by the exit device and rod length, not by the spacer. For 48 inch openings the Marks USA M9900VR is offered at 48 by 84 inches as an exit only vertical rod device, and the Marks USA M9900F-VR is offered at 48 by 84 inches fire rated and exit only.
