Detex DEX-FCW10 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Detex flex conduit weatherized kit actually do on an exit device?
It is the wiring protection run for an electrified exit device on an exterior door, not a device itself. The kit mounts directly to the device end cap and carries 10 pre-wired conductors inside weatherized flex conduit, terminated with couplers using pin receptacle connectors. An Advantex standard end-cap with fittings is included so the transition from the device into the conduit stays sealed against moisture.
2) Should I order the 3 foot or the 10 foot Detex weatherized flex conduit?
Two lengths are offered, 3FT (FC3W) and 10FT (FC10W). Pick by the distance from the device end cap to your junction point or door loop transition: 3 feet suits a short run to a nearby box on the same leaf or frame, 10 feet covers runs that have to reach across the head or down to a remote enclosure. The conductor count and connector type are the same either way, so length is the only decision.
3) Does this Detex kit include the exit device, or do I need to buy that separately?
Conduit kit only. You get the weatherized flex conduit, the 10 conductors with couplers, the pin receptacle connectors, and an Advantex standard end-cap with fittings. The exit device, trim, and power supply are separate purchases. If you still need the device itself, surface vertical rod panic devices ZenSupply carries include the Von Duprin 8827-3FT and the Imperial USA ED-VR531.
4) Will this Detex flex conduit kit work with another brand's vertical rod exit device?
It is built to mount to a Detex device end cap and ships with an Advantex standard end-cap and fittings, so the mechanical interface is Detex. On a non-Detex device such as a Von Duprin 88 Series or a Marks USA M9900VR, the conduit and conductors are usable but the end-cap fitting will not be a drop-in, and you should plan on that manufacturer's own raceway or transfer hardware instead.
5) Is the Von Duprin 8827-3FT the same thing as the Detex 3 foot flex conduit kit?
No. The Detex Flex Conduit Weatherized Kit is a wiring protection kit that mounts to a device end cap and carries 10 wires with couplers and pin receptacle connectors; the 3FT in the Detex part refers to the length of the conduit run. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, 88 Series, for 1-3/4 inch doors, where the 3 ft figure describes the device size. If you are ordering hardware to latch the door, the 8827 is the device; if you are protecting the wiring going to a device already on the door, the Detex conduit kit is the part.
6) My exterior opening is fire rated. Does the weatherized conduit kit change what device I can use?
The Detex Flex Conduit Weatherized Kit handles the wiring protection and does not itself set the fire rating of the opening; that comes from the exit device and the door assembly. If the opening requires a fire rated vertical rod device, the Delaney F9100 Series is 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 is a fire rated vertical rod device for 36 by 84 inch openings in exit only, non-handed, with the MARM9900F-VR covering 48 by 84 inch. Non-rated vertical rod devices such as the Delaney 9100 Series and the Cal-Royal 9860 are not carried as fire rated.
7) Do I need a weatherized conduit kit for an interior exit door?
No. The weatherized construction exists to keep moisture and weather out of the wiring on exposed openings, exterior commercial doors, industrial weather-exposed exits, exterior emergency exits. On a dry interior opening a standard non-weatherized conduit or door loop does the same job, and the sealing features here are wasted cost.
8) Is 10 conductors enough for an electrified exit device with request-to-exit and latch monitoring?
The kit runs 10 conductors, which covers the typical stack on an electrified panic device, electric latch retraction or electric dogging power, request-to-exit switch, latchbolt monitor, and alarm or tamper contacts, with spares left over. Count the terminations your specific device and access control head end require and confirm they total 10 or fewer before you commit to a single run.
9) I manage exterior doors at a school and the wiring at the exit devices keeps failing. Is this the fix?
Moisture intrusion at the device end cap is the usual cause on exposed openings, and this weatherized kit addresses exactly that, a sealed flex conduit run off the end cap with 10 conductors and weatherproof fittings. It is listed for outdoor access points at educational institutions among other exposed commercial and healthcare exterior exits. It protects the wiring path; it will not fix a failed device or a water-damaged controller.
10) Is a Grade 2 device acceptable for an exterior door where I am running weatherized conduit?
Grade selection is set by the traffic and the spec on the opening, not by the conduit. The Detex Flex Conduit Weatherized Kit is built for outdoor and exposed installations and protects the wiring regardless of the device grade. Among vertical rod devices, the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 exit only device, while the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, the Delaney 8100 Series and the Delaney 9100 Series are Grade 1. If your facility standard calls for Grade 1 throughout, choose from the Grade 1 group and use the conduit kit with it.
11) We only need mechanical exit, no electrified function. Do we still need the Detex flex conduit kit?
No. The Detex Flex Conduit Weatherized Kit exists to carry and weatherproof 10 conductors running to a device end cap, which only applies when the device has an electrical function to wire. A purely mechanical exit only vertical rod device needs no conduit run: the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 by 84 and the 48 by 84 version are exit only vertical rod panic devices, the Delaney 8100 Series is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 door, and the Delaney 9100 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device for the same opening in stainless steel finish.
12) Can I use the Detex weatherized conduit kit on a 48 inch wide door opening?
Yes. The Detex Flex Conduit Weatherized Kit is sized by the length of the conduit run from the device end cap back to the wiring source, offered in 3 ft and 10 ft, so door width is not the limiting factor. Wider openings are covered on the device side by parts such as the Marks USA M9900VR in 48 by 84 inch and the fire rated MARM9900F-VR in 48 by 84 inch, both exit only vertical rod panic devices.
13) Do the couplers let me disconnect the device without rewiring?
Yes, that is the point of the pin receptacle connectors on the couplers. The conductors terminate in a plug-style connection rather than field splices, so a device can be pulled for service and reconnected without cutting or re-terminating wire, and the weatherproof integrity of the run is maintained across the joint.
