Detex 70EUV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex Advantex 70/71 Series work on a pair of wood doors with no center mullion?
That is exactly the application. The Advantex 70/71 concealed vertical rod device latches at the head and, in the top-and-bottom-rod configuration, at the threshold, so a pair of wood doors can be secured without a center mullion. It is built as wide stile hardware for wood doors, so confirm your stile is wide enough to take the concealed rods before ordering.
2) Should I order the top rod only version or top and bottom rod on a Detex 70/71?
Top-and-bottom-rod gives you latching at both the head and the sill, which is the standard way to secure a pair without a mullion. Top-rod-only leaves the floor clear, which matters on openings where a bottom bolt and floor strike would collect dirt or catch a threshold. Note the deadlocking difference: the top bolt is deadlocked on both the 70 and 71 Series, while bottom bolt deadlocking is a 70 Series feature.
3) Is the Detex Advantex 70/71 exit device available fire rated?
Both fire rated and non-rated versions of the 70/71 Series are built. Fire rated exit hardware is supplied without mechanical dogging, so if you need the panic bar to hold retracted during business hours on a rated opening, electric dogging is the option to specify instead.
4) What door sizes and heights does the Detex 70/71 concealed vertical rod device cover?
Device widths are offered for 36 inch and 48 inch doors, with rod lengths for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. The rods are field-sizeable and adjustable while the device is installed in the door, so minor height variation on the opening is handled at install rather than by reordering.
5) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex 70EUV/71EUV?
Handing is called out at order as either right hand reverse or left hand reverse, the two handings exit devices use. The device is also field reversible, so a bar that shows up handed the wrong way can be changed on site instead of returned.
6) What electrified options can I add to a Detex Advantex 70/71 device?
Four electrified add-ons are offered beyond the base electric lock/unlock: EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request-to-exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, and ED electric dogging. EX is the usual choice for tying door use back to an access panel, EE for controlled egress where the authority having jurisdiction permits it, and ED for holding the bar dogged on a fire rated opening.
7) What is the alternative if I need a vertical rod exit device but not the electric lock/unlock function?
Several exit-only vertical rod devices cover that. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface device at 36 inches, and Marks USA M9900VR covers 36 x 84 and 48 x 84 openings exit only. For a rated opening without electrics, Marks USA M9900FVR (36 x 84) and MARM9900F-VR (48 x 84) are fire rated exit only.
8) What is the difference between the Detex 70EUV/71EUV and the Von Duprin 8827 vertical rod exit device?
Both are Grade 1 wide stile vertical rod exit devices. The Detex Advantex 70EUV/71EUV uses concealed vertical rods and is built with an electric lock/unlock function for remote control from an access control system, and it is offered in fire rated and non-rated builds. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a surface vertical rod device in the 88 Series, non-fire-rated, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the opening calls for rods hidden inside a wood door with electrified control, the Detex matches; if exposed surface rods on a 1-3/4 inch door are acceptable, the 8827 covers it.
9) If I don't need electrified control, what is a simpler vertical rod exit device than the Detex 70EUV/71EUV?
The Detex Advantex 70EUV/71EUV is an electric lock/unlock device, so it is specified when the opening is tied to access control. For a purely mechanical opening, the Marks USA M9900VR is an exit only vertical rod panic device for a 36 by 84 inch door and is non-handed, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device at 36 inches, also exit only. Both trade the electrified function and concealed rods for straight mechanical egress.
10) What fire rated vertical rod alternatives are there to the Detex 70EUV/71EUV?
The Detex Advantex 70EUV/71EUV is ordered as either fire rated or non-rated. Other fire rated vertical rod devices include the Delaney F9100 Series, a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR for 36 by 84 inch openings or the M9900F-VR for 48 by 84 inch openings, both fire rated and exit only. The Detex remains the choice where the fire rated opening also needs electric lock/unlock.
11) What does the electric lock/unlock function on the Detex 70EUV/71EUV actually do?
Electric lock/unlock lets an access control system remotely control the outside trim's locked state while free egress from the inside is always available through the push bar. It is the function to specify when the opening ties into a card reader, intercom or front desk release rather than being key-only.
12) What dogging choices are there on the Detex 70/71 exit device?
Mechanical dogging is offered as hex dogging or cylinder dogging, and the device can also be ordered less dogging. Cylinder dogging is the pick where you want the bar dogged only by authorized staff with a keyed cylinder; hex dogging uses an allen wrench. Fire rated openings take electric dogging instead of either.
13) Is the Detex 70/71 concealed rod device better than a surface vertical rod for a high-traffic school or hospital door?
Concealed rods put the rod inside the door, so there is nothing on the face to be kicked, hung on, or vandalized, which is why it suits high-abuse traffic. The tradeoff is that the door must be prepped for concealed rods, so it is a new-door or specially prepped application. If the existing doors are not prepped, a surface vertical rod such as the Von Duprin 8827 wide stile device does the same job on the face of the door.
14) Why do the top and bottom bolts on the Detex 70/71 stay retracted until the door closes?
That is the 6-position multi-step action. The top latch holds both the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door actually closes, so the bolts are not dragging or hitting the frame and sill on the way in. The result is more consistent re-latching on a pair of doors, which is the usual complaint with vertical rod hardware on high-cycle openings.
15) Can I get door prep templates and wiring information for the Detex Advantex 70/71 before I cut the doors?
Yes. Detex publishes installation instructions and a catalog page for the 70/71 Series, plus Advantex 70/71 door prep templates. On a concealed rod device the door has to be prepped for the rods, so pull the template before machining wood doors, and confirm voltage and current capacity against your power supply before wiring the electric function.
16) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex 70EUV/71EUV?
They are not interchangeable on spec. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod exit device, exit only and not fire rated. The Detex Advantex 70EUV/71EUV is Grade 1 with concealed vertical rods, an electric lock/unlock function, and both fire rated and non-rated builds. On a specification calling for Grade 1 or a fire rated electrified opening, the 9860 does not meet it.
17) I have a 48 inch wide door leaf - what vertical rod devices cover that width besides the Detex 70EUV/71EUV?
The Detex Advantex 70EUV/71EUV is ordered in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes, for 96 inch or 120 inch door heights. Among other vertical rod devices sized for a 48 inch leaf, the Marks USA M9900VR is offered at 48 by 84 inches exit only, and the Marks USA M9900F-VR covers 48 by 84 inches fire rated and exit only.
18) Do any of the comparable vertical rod devices offer the same handing flexibility as the Detex 70EUV/71EUV?
The Detex Advantex 70EUV/71EUV is handed, ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse, and is field reversible and field sizeable with rods adjustable while installed in the door. The Marks USA M9900VR and the fire rated M9900FVR are both non-handed, so one device covers either swing without reversing work at the opening.
19) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 70/71 come in to match other hardware in my building?
Ten finishes: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 brushed aluminum, 629 polished stainless, 630 brushed stainless, 693 black painted and 695 dark bronze painted. Matching by BHMA number rather than by name is the reliable way to keep a set of openings consistent.
