Detex SIFV-EB-CD-36IN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Detex SIFV-EB-CD slide-in filler kit actually do on a vertical rod exit device?
It's an accessory kit, not a complete exit device. The SIFV-EB-CD slides into a Detex Value Series vertical rod exit device in place of the existing filler component, and adds two things: cylinder dogging, so authorized staff can hold the latch retracted during high-traffic or maintenance periods, and a battery-operated electric alarm that sounds audibly when the device is pushed. If you need the panic hardware itself, this kit is not it.
2) Which size Detex slide-in filler kit do I order, 36 inch or 48 inch?
The kit comes in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes, and you match it to the device size on the door, not the door width itself. A 36 inch device gets the 36 inch kit; a 48 inch device gets the 48 inch. Measure or read the size off the existing Value Series vertical rod device before you order.
3) Does the Detex alarm filler kit need to be wired to building power?
No wiring. The alarm in the SIFV-EB-CD runs on a self-contained battery, so there's no conduit pull, no transformer and no power transfer hinge to add. That's the practical reason to pick it on a retrofit: you get an audible alarm on an existing exit device without opening up the frame or running line voltage to the opening. You will need to install the battery per the polarity markings at setup and keep it on a maintenance schedule.
4) The opening is fire rated and needs a vertical rod device - can I use the Detex slide-in filler kit with cylinder dogging on it?
Cylinder dogging holds the latch retracted, which is why dogging is kept off fire rated openings; a fire door has to latch every time it closes. On a fire rated opening, specify a device built and labeled for it instead: the Delaney F9100 Series vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door is Grade 1 and fire rated, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR at 36 by 84 inches and the M9900F-VR at 48 by 84 inches, both fire rated exit only vertical rod devices. Save the Detex SIFV-EB-CD for non-rated Value Series openings where dogging is permitted.
5) Does the Detex SIFV-EB-CD replace a vertical rod exit device, or is it added to one?
The SIFV-EB-CD is a slide-in filler kit that adds cylinder dogging and a battery-operated electric alarm to a Detex Value Series vertical rod exit device; it is not itself a panic device and does not latch a door. When the opening needs the exit device itself, that is a different part: the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in the 88 Series, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod device in the ED-500 Series. Buy the filler kit to upgrade a Value Series device already hanging on the door, and one of those devices when there is no exit device on the opening yet.
6) I want to alarm an emergency exit door that people keep propping open. Is a battery alarm kit enough, or do I need a new exit device?
If the door already has a Detex Value Series vertical rod device, the slide-in kit is the cheaper path: it adds the audible alarm and cylinder dogging to what's already hung, with no rewiring. If the opening has some other device, or no panic hardware at all, you're buying a complete vertical rod device instead, such as the Marks USA M9900VR for a 36 x 84 door or the M9900VR 48 x 84 for a wider leaf.
7) Does a cylinder dogging kit come with the cylinder, or do I have to supply my own?
Cylinder dogging is operated by a keyed cylinder, and the cylinder is keyed to your system, so plan on specifying it separately to match the keyway the rest of the building runs. Order the kit in the size that matches your device, then handle the cylinder and keying through your locksmith or your keying schedule so this door opens on the same key as the others.
8) I have a pair of doors with no center mullion. Does a vertical rod device suit that opening?
Yes, and that's the usual reason to choose vertical rod. A vertical rod device latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a strike on a mullion, so it secures a pair of doors with nothing down the middle. The Detex slide-in kit is an accessory for a Value Series vertical rod device already on such an opening; for a new pair you'd be buying the devices themselves, such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod, which is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) I just need an alarm on an exit door - is there a simpler option than the Detex kit?
The SIFV-EB-CD carries its own battery, so it alarms without running wire to the door, and it comes in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes to match the Value Series device already on the opening. If the door instead needs nothing more than a plain push-to-exit device with no alarm and no dogging cylinder, an exit only vertical rod device covers it: the Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device, and the Marks USA M9900VR is a non-handed exit only vertical rod panic device for a 36 by 84 inch door. Those are complete devices, not add-ons, and neither one sounds an alarm.
10) My facility standard is Grade 1 vertical rod hardware - how does the Detex SIFV-EB-CD fit that?
The SIFV-EB-CD is an accessory kit that slides into a Detex Value Series vertical rod device to add cylinder dogging and a battery alarm, so the grade on the opening is set by the exit device it goes into, not by the kit. Where a facility standard drives the device selection itself, Grade 1 non-rated vertical rod devices in the set include the Delaney 9100 Series in a stainless steel finish and the Delaney 8100 Series, both for a 36 by 84 inch door, plus the Von Duprin 8827-3FT in the 88 Series for 1-3/4 inch thick doors.
11) The door is 48 inches wide - what pairs with the Detex 48 inch slide-in filler kit?
The SIFV-EB-CD is offered in a 48 inch device size to suit a 48 inch Detex Value Series vertical rod device, and in 36 inch for the narrower opening. If the 48 inch leaf still needs its device, the Marks USA M9900VR at 48 by 84 inches is an exit only vertical rod panic device for a non-rated opening, and the Marks USA M9900F-VR at 48 by 84 inches is the fire rated exit only version. Match the kit size to the device length, not to the rough door opening.
12) Is the installation something my maintenance tech can do, or does it need a locksmith?
It's a slide-in retrofit, so it doesn't call for drilling or rework of the door. The sequence is: confirm the device is a Value Series vertical rod, pull the existing filler out of the device housing, install the battery to the polarity markings, slide the kit in until it seats and aligns, then set up the cylinder dogging and test both the dogging travel and the alarm's audible output. A competent maintenance tech can handle it; the piece worth a locksmith is keying the dogging cylinder.
