Detex 80EUV-628-36x96 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can this Detex exit device secure a pair of doors without a center mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 80/81 concealed vertical rod device latches at the head and, on top and bottom rod versions, at the threshold, so it secures the opening without a mullion. It was designed for wide stile hollow metal doors without a mullion.
2) What do I need to specify when ordering a Detex Advantex 80EUV/81EUV?
Five things beyond finish. Door height (96 inch or 120 inch), device size (36 inch or 48 inch), fire rated or non-rated, top and bottom rod or top rod only, and handing (right hand reverse or left hand reverse). You also pick a dogging option (hex, cylinder, or less dogging) and an electrified option (none, EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit switch, EE delayed egress, or ED electric dogging).
3) Does the electric lock/unlock function still allow free egress if power is lost?
Yes. The electric lock/unlock on the Advantex 80EUV/81EUV controls the outside trim remotely while the push pad keeps working mechanically, so pushing the bar always releases the device for egress.
4) Do I have to order the Detex 80/81 handed, or can I flip it in the field?
You select right hand reverse or left hand reverse when ordering, but the device is field reversible, so handing can be changed on site if the opening turns out opposite to what was specified. It is also field sizeable.
5) Will the Detex Advantex 80/81 fit a 10 foot tall door?
Yes. Rod lengths are offered for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights, so a 10 foot door is covered. Rods are adjustable with the rods already installed in the door, which helps dial in latching on tall openings.
6) What is the closest wide stile vertical rod alternative to the Detex 80EUV/81EUV if concealed rods are not required?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in a 3 ft width, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex Advantex 80EUV/81EUV is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device for wide stile hollow metal doors, so the rods run inside the door rather than on the face. Choose the Detex when the door is already prepped for concealed rods or the architect wants the rods hidden; the 8827 mounts to the door face and needs no internal rod channel.
7) The opening is fire rated. Which vertical rod devices besides the Detex 80/81 can I use?
The Detex Advantex 80EUV/81EUV is offered in both fire rated and non-rated configurations. Among other Grade 1 vertical rod devices, the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is fire rated for a 36 x 84 door in an aluminum finish, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR fire rated vertical rod device at 36 x 84 and the M9900F-VR at 48 x 84, both exit only. Note that fire rated openings generally cannot use dogging, so confirm the dogging selection on whichever device you order.
8) I only need mechanical panic egress with no access control tie-in. What is a simpler option than the Detex 80EUV/81EUV?
The Detex Advantex 80EUV/81EUV carries an electric lock/unlock function for remote locking and unlocking from an access control system. If the opening needs nothing but push-bar egress, the Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 vertical rod panic device is an exit only, non-handed mechanical unit, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 36 inch surface vertical rod device also listed as exit only. Neither carries the electrified lock/unlock function, so there is no wiring or power supply to coordinate.
9) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a direct substitute for the Detex Advantex 80EUV/81EUV?
No. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device, exit only and not fire rated. The Detex Advantex 80EUV/81EUV is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with an electric lock/unlock function and is available in fire rated form. If your spec calls out Grade 1 or a fire rated opening, or the access control system needs to lock and unlock the device remotely, the 9860 will not meet it.
10) Should I order the top rod only version or top and bottom rod?
Top rod only drops the bottom latching point, which keeps the floor clear and avoids a bottom strike that collects dirt and takes abuse at the threshold. Top and bottom rod gives you two latching points and, on the 80 Series, a steel bottom drop bolt for more security. Both are offered on the Advantex 80/81 concealed vertical rod device.
11) Which electrified option do I pick for access control or an alarmed exit door?
Four are offered on the Advantex 80/81. EX gives a request to exit signal switch to tell the access control system the bar was pushed. ED is electric dogging, so the device can be unlatched and relatched on a schedule. EA is a hardwired electric alarm local to the door. EE is delayed egress for a controlled exit. Pick None if the electric lock/unlock trim control is all you need.
12) Is this Detex exit device rated for high traffic commercial use?
It is a Grade 1, commercial rated device with super heavy duty construction and patented deadlocking bolt assemblies intended for high use, high abuse openings such as schools, hospitals, and industrial exits.
13) How is a concealed vertical rod device different from a surface vertical rod device?
On the Advantex 80/81 the rods run inside the door, so nothing is exposed on the door face. That is the choice when appearance matters or when exposed rods would get kicked and bent. A surface vertical rod device, like the Von Duprin 8827-3FT or the Imperial USA ED-VR531, mounts the rods on the door face, which makes retrofit and service easier because no internal door prep is needed.
14) I need a plain exit only vertical rod device, no electric function. What else is available?
The Advantex 80EUV/81EUV is the electric lock/unlock version, so if you do not need remote control there are simpler exit only devices. The Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 exit only vertical rod panic device, and the Marks USA M9900FVR is the fire rated 36 by 84 exit only version. The Delaney 8100 Series and 9100 Series are Grade 1 vertical rod devices for a 36 by 84 door, with the F9100 Series covering fire rated openings.
15) Does this Detex device relatch reliably on a door with a heavy weatherstrip seal?
Yes. The top latch uses a 6 position multi step action that holds the top and bottom bolts retracted until the door is closed, so it relatches consistently rather than dragging bolts on the frame. The top strike adjusts vertically and for varying weather strip thicknesses.
16) How much door prep does the concealed Detex 80/81 need?
Less than most concealed rod devices. It uses a patented mounting plate system that locates the device accurately with minimal door preparation. Detex publishes door prep templates and installation instructions for the 80/81 Series, and both are worth pulling before cutting the door.
17) I need a vertical rod device for a 48 inch wide door. What are my options against the Detex 80/81?
The Detex Advantex 80EUV/81EUV is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes, for 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. For a 48 inch leaf, Marks USA also lists the M9900VR at 48 x 84 as an exit only vertical rod device and the M9900F-VR at 48 x 84 in a fire rated version. The Detex is the choice when the rods must be concealed in a hollow metal door and the device has to be wired for lock/unlock control.
18) What Grade 1 vertical rod devices should I look at if my door is not hollow metal wide stile?
The Detex Advantex 80EUV/81EUV is engineered for wide stile hollow metal doors and mounts with a concealed rod prep, so it is tied to that opening type. Other Grade 1 vertical rod devices sized for a standard 36 x 84 door include the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) in stainless steel and the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684), both non fire rated surface-style devices that do not require an internal rod channel in the door.
19) Do I need to specify handing on the Detex 80EUV/81EUV the way I would on other vertical rod devices?
Yes. The Detex Advantex 80EUV/81EUV is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though the device is described as field reversible. By contrast the Marks USA M9900VR 36 x 84 and the M9900FVR fire rated version are listed as non-handed, so handing does not have to be determined at order time on those. Confirm the door swing before ordering the Detex.
20) Which vertical rod device gives me the widest finish selection for matching existing hardware?
The Detex Advantex 80EUV/81EUV is available in ten architectural finishes, including 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 628 brushed aluminum, 629 polished stainless steel, 630 brushed stainless steel, 693 black painted and 695 dark bronze painted. Among the comparable Grade 1 devices, the Delaney 9100 is listed in a stainless steel finish and the Delaney F9100 in aluminum, so those are single-finish items. For a property standardizing on a bronze or painted finish across a fleet of openings, the Detex range is the broader match.
21) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 80/81 come in for matching other doors in a building?
Ten: 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. For matching an existing fleet of openings, 628 and 630 are the usual commercial defaults.
