Detex 8702DV-693-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 8702DV concealed vertical rod device work on a pair of doors with no mullion?
Yes. The Advantex 8702DV latches at the head and at the floor with concealed vertical rods, so it secures hollow metal doors without a mullion. That is the main reason to pick a vertical rod device over a rim device, which needs a mullion or a second leaf to strike against on a pair.
2) Is the Detex 8702DV made for wide stile or narrow stile doors?
Wide stile only, and specifically for hollow metal doors. If you are hanging this on a narrow stile aluminum storefront leaf, the 8702DV is the wrong device and you want a narrow stile exit device instead.
3) What door widths and heights does the Detex Advantex 87 Series vertical rod device cover?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch, and rod lengths are built for 84 inch, 96 inch and 120 inch door heights. Order the height that matches the leaf, since concealed rods are cut for the opening; the rods are adjustable once installed in the door for fine tuning.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex 8702DV, or is it non-handed?
Handing gets specified. The 8702DV is ordered right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though the design is field reversible if you end up with the opposite hand on site. If you would rather avoid handing entirely, the Marks USA M9900VR vertical rod device is non-handed.
5) Can I get the Detex 87 Series concealed vertical rod device fire rated?
Yes. Rating options are fire rated, non-rated, and tornado rated. Pick fire rated for a labeled opening in a stair or corridor; the tornado rated build is for storm shelter and safe room openings where that is on the drawing.
6) What does the dummy lever trim on the 8702DV mean for outside entry?
Dummy lever trim is a pull only, so there is no key or lever function from the outside to retract the latch. It is exit only in practice. If you need outside access, specify a keyed or lever trim function rather than the DV dummy trim version.
7) Can the Detex 87 Series device do delayed egress or alarm on a door I need to monitor?
Yes, the electrified options cover it: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request to exit signal switch, and EE delayed egress. Use EX when you want a signal back to an access control panel, EB where you cannot pull power to the door, and EE where code allows a delay on the egress.
8) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 vertical rod alternative to the Detex 8702DV?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest wide stile Grade 1 vertical rod device to the Detex Advantex 8702DV. Both are Grade 1 and both are built for wide stile doors, but the 8827-3FT is a surface vertical rod device sized 3 ft for 1-3/4 inch doors, while the 8702DV is a concealed vertical rod device offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes across 84, 96, and 120 inch door heights. If the door is already prepped for surface rods, the Von Duprin drops in with less routing; if you want the rods hidden inside the door, the Detex is the one that does that.
9) I need a fire rated vertical rod exit device - what are my options besides the Detex 8702DV?
The Detex Advantex 8702DV is offered in a Fire Rated build alongside Non-Rated and Tornado Rated builds, so it can cover a labeled opening directly. If you want a fire rated surface vertical rod instead, the Delaney F9100 Series DLY-694300 is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door in an aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR covers 36 by 84 inch fire rated exit only, with the MARM9900F-VR in 48 by 84 inch. The Detex difference is concealed rods and a choice of dogging and electrified options; the Delaney and Marks units are fixed door sizes.
10) What should I order instead if I do not need trim on the outside of the door?
Order an exit only device. The Detex Advantex 8702DV ships with dummy lever trim, which gives the outside face a pull lever that does not retract the bolts. If you want no outside trim at all, the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 by 84 inch non-handed vertical rod panic device in exit only, with the M9900VR-48X84 covering 48 by 84 inch, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit only device. Note that the Marks M9900VR is non-handed while the Detex 8702DV is ordered Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse.
11) Which vertical rod device should I use on a tall door over 84 inches?
The Detex Advantex 8702DV is the one to spec for tall openings - it is offered for 84, 96, and 120 inch door heights in both 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes. The comparable Grade 1 vertical rod devices are built to fixed openings: the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 and 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684 are both for a 36 by 84 inch door, the Imperial ED-VR531 is 36 inch, and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a 3 ft device. For a 96 or 120 inch leaf, the Detex covers the height without a special order.
12) Do any of the vertical rod alternatives offer delayed egress or a request-to-exit switch like the Detex 8702DV?
The Detex Advantex 8702DV is the one ordered with electrified options - none, EA hardwired electric alarm, EX request to exit signal switch, EE delayed egress, or EB electric alarm with battery - plus a dogging choice of hex, cylinder, or less dogging. The comparable Grade 1 vertical rod devices, including the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301, and Imperial ED-VR531, are mechanical vertical rod devices. If the opening needs a monitored or delayed egress exit, build it on the Detex.
13) What dogging options are there on the Detex Advantex 87, and when do I need cylinder dogging?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Cylinder dogging lets staff hold the push bar down with a key for daytime free swing, hex needs an allen wrench. Order less dogging on fire rated openings, since mechanical dogging is not permitted on a labeled fire door.
14) Is the Detex 8702DV rated Grade 1 for a high traffic commercial door?
BHMA Grade 1, commercial duty. It uses patented deadlocking of the top and bottom bolt assemblies with a 6 position multi step action in the top latch, plus a steel bottom drop bolt, which is what holds up in school and warehouse traffic where doors get abused.
15) What other Grade 1 vertical rod exit devices could I use instead of the Detex 8702DV on a 36 x 84 door?
For a 36 by 84 opening, the Delaney 9100 Series in stainless and the Delaney 8100 Series are both Grade 1 vertical rod devices, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod in exit only. If the opening is labeled, the Delaney F9100 Series and the Marks USA M9900FVR are fire rated. Note those alternatives are exit only or surface mounted, so they will not give you the concealed rods or the electrified alarm and delayed egress options the Advantex 87 offers.
16) How much door prep does installing the Detex Advantex 87 take, and can I set the top strike against weatherstrip?
It uses a patented mounting plate system that keeps door prep to a minimum and holds the layout accurate. The top strike adjusts vertically and for varying weather strip thickness, and the rods can be adjusted with the device still in the door, so you can dial in latching on an exterior opening without pulling it back apart. Door templates and installation instructions are published by Detex for the 87 Series.
17) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex Advantex 8702DV?
They are not interchangeable on a spec-driven opening. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2, exit only, and not fire rated. The Detex Advantex 8702DV is Grade 1 with concealed vertical rods and dummy lever trim, and is available in a Fire Rated build. If the drawing calls Grade 1 or a labeled door, the 9860 will not satisfy it; on a non-rated back-of-house opening where Grade 2 is acceptable, the Cal-Royal is the simpler surface-mounted route.
18) I am standardizing exit devices across a facility and need matching finishes - how does the Detex 8702DV compare on finish choice?
The Detex Advantex 8702DV is the broader finish program of the Grade 1 vertical rod devices: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 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 Series DLY-692301 is a stainless steel finish and the fire rated F9100 DLY-694300 is aluminum. If you are matching existing bronze or painted hardware across a building, the Detex range is where to look.
19) What finishes does the Detex Advantex 87 vertical rod device come in to match other openings in my building?
Nine finishes: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 629 polished stainless, 630 brushed stainless, 693 black painted and 695 dark bronze painted. For a mixed fleet of existing doors, 630 brushed stainless is the usual standardization choice on commercial hollow metal.
