Detex V50EU2W-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex V50/V51 exit device work on a pair of doors with no mullion?
That's exactly what it's built for. The V50/V51 Value Series is a surface vertical rod device, so it latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a mullion or a strike on the adjacent door leaf. The top latch is a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking bolt and the bottom is a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long drop bolt. If you have a single door in a frame, a rim device is the simpler choice.
2) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the Detex V50EU2W vertical rod device?
Yes. The order asks for Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, so you need to know which way the leaf swings before you buy. The device itself is field reversible, so a unit can be flipped on site if the opening turns out to be the opposite hand.
3) What does the electric lock/unlock function on the Detex V50EU2W actually do?
It lets the outside trim be locked or unlocked remotely, so the opening can be put on a schedule or released from an access control panel or front desk. Egress from the inside is always free through the push rail, which is how panic hardware has to behave regardless of the electrical state. Because it's electrified, you need to confirm your power supply voltage and current capacity before you rough in the wiring.
4) Can I get the Detex V50 series fire rated, and is there a hurricane version?
Four rating configurations are offered: Fire Rated, Hurricane, Hurricane and Fire Rated, and Non-Rated. Pick the rating at order time, since it is built into the device rather than added later. Note that fire rated openings cannot be dogged down, so the hex or cylinder dogging options do not belong on a fire door.
5) I only need exit-only panic hardware on a double door, not electric control. What should I use instead of the Detex V50/V51 electric device?
Exit-only vertical rod devices cover that opening without the electrified side. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device at 36 inches with an Exit Only function, and the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 inch by 84 inch non-handed vertical rod panic device, also Exit Only, with a 48 inch by 84 inch version available as the M9900VR-48X84. The Detex V50EU2W/V51EU2W is specifically an Electric Lock/Unlock device, so it brings wiring and a power supply into the job that an exit-only device does not.
6) Which vertical rod exit devices are fire rated if I am not using the Detex V50/V51?
Two fire rated vertical rod options are the Delaney F9100 Series 694300, 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 at 36 by 84 inches, an Exit Only non-handed fire rated vertical rod device, with the MARM9900F-VR covering 48 by 84 inches. The Detex V50EU2W/V51EU2W is ordered with a rating option of Fire Rated, Hurricane, Hurricane and Fire Rated, or Non-Rated, so the fire rated configuration is selected at order time rather than being a separate model.
7) Do any of the alternatives to the Detex V50/V51 offer delayed egress or a request-to-exit switch?
The Detex V50EU2W/V51EU2W is ordered with an electrified option of EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, EX request to exit signal switch, or none, on top of its Electric Lock/Unlock function. The comparable vertical rod devices from Von Duprin, Delaney, Marks USA, Imperial USA and Cal-Royal in this group are mechanical exit devices, with the Cal-Royal 9860, Imperial ED-VR531 and the Marks USA M9900VR family listed as Exit Only function. If the access control scope calls for delayed egress or an REX signal built into the device, the Detex configuration is the one that carries it.
8) Should I order top and bottom rod, or top rod only, on this Detex device?
Both are offered. Top and bottom rod gives you two-point latching, head and threshold, which is the stronger security setup. Top rod only removes the bottom rod and bottom strike, which keeps the floor clear of a strike, avoids trouble where the floor is uneven or gets wet and dirty, and cuts a common maintenance callback. On fire rated pairs, check the opening's listing before dropping the bottom rod.
9) What is the difference between the 96 and 96B strike option on the Detex V50?
The 96 gives you a surface non-roller top strike with a standard bottom strike. The 96B swaps that bottom strike for a dust proof strike, which is the one you want where the floor collects grit, water, or debris, or on an exterior pair where the bottom bolt would otherwise pick up dirt and stop seating. Strike choice is required at order time.
10) Can I hold the Detex V50 device open during business hours?
Yes, with 1/8 turn dogging, which retracts the latches so the leaf pushes free. You choose Hex Dogging, Cylinder Dogging, or Less/No dogging when you order. Hex uses an Allen wrench and is the maintenance standard; cylinder dogging takes a mortise cylinder so only keyholders can dog it, which is what most schools and multi-tenant buildings want. Dogging is not used on fire rated openings.
11) What extra electrified options can I add to the Detex V50 besides lock/unlock?
Five choices on that axis: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, EX request-to-exit signal switch, or None. EE delayed egress is the one to specify if you need a 15 second hold on an unauthorized push, and it has to be coordinated with the fire alarm. EX is what you add when the door only needs to report a valid exit to the access control system so it does not throw a forced-door alarm.
12) How does the Detex V50 compare to a Von Duprin 8827 for a wide stile pair?
Both are Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a 3 foot mechanical device listed for 1-3/4 inch doors and is not fire rated. The Detex V50/V51 is the one to pick when the opening needs electric lock/unlock, delayed egress, or a hurricane rating, since those are built into its option list rather than being separate hardware. For a straight mechanical exit-only pair with no power at the door, the 8827 is the simpler build.
13) Is the Detex V50/V51 heavy enough for a school or hospital exit door?
It's a Grade 1 commercial device, which is the top ANSI/BHMA duty level and the one specified for high-traffic institutional openings like schools, hospitals, and government buildings. Latch components are stainless steel and the rail is an extruded aluminum section with impact resistant ABS. If you are looking at lighter-duty budget options, the Cal-Royal 9860 vertical rod device is Grade 2 rather than Grade 1.
14) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex V50EU2W/V51EU2W?
They are not interchangeable on a Grade 1 spec. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2, Exit Only, and not fire rated. The Detex V50EU2W/V51EU2W is Grade 1 and is ordered with a rating option that includes Fire Rated and Hurricane configurations, plus an Electric Lock/Unlock function. If the drawing calls for Grade 1 or a fire rated opening, the 9860 will not meet it.
15) I need a 48 inch wide door covered. Which vertical rod devices come that wide?
The Detex V50EU2W/V51EU2W is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes and is field sizable and reversible. Among mechanical alternatives at that width, the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 is a 48 by 84 inch Exit Only vertical rod panic device, and the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR is the 48 by 84 inch fire rated version. The Delaney and Imperial USA vertical rod devices listed are built for 36 by 84 inch doors.
16) What finishes does the Detex V50/V51 come in, and will it match my other exit doors?
Two anodized finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. 628 is the clear anodized look that matches most aluminum and storefront hardware; 711 is the dark option for black-framed openings. The rail is a ribbed aluminum extrusion with impact resistant ABS end caps, so the finish holds up in high traffic.
17) Can I add an outside lever or pull to the Detex V50 device?
Yes. The V50/V51 accepts a range of outside trims and functions, including standard and narrow stile pull trims. Trim is ordered separately from the device, so specify the function you want outside (pull, key-retracted, or dummy) along with the device.
18) Do I need a paper template to lay out the door prep for the Detex V50?
No. Detex ships a patented mounting plate and strike locator system with the device, which replaces paper templates and sets the top and bottom strike positions off the device itself. Door prep templates, full installation instructions, and a parts list are published by Detex if your installer wants them in advance.
