Detex V5001P-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex V5001P vertical rod device secure a pair of doors that has no center mullion?
Yes. The Detex 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 in the opposite door. That is exactly the setup for double doors without a mullion. 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.
2) Do I have to order the Detex V50 exit device handed, or can I reverse it in the field?
You pick a hand when you order, Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, but the device itself is handed and field reversible, so a unit already on the shelf can be converted if the opening turns out to be the other hand.
3) Is the Detex Value Series V50 available fire rated?
Yes. Rating is a choice when you order: Non-Rated, Fire Rated, Hurricane, or Hurricane and Fire Rated. For a fire door assembly you need the Fire Rated version, and note that fire rated exit hardware cannot be dogged, so plan your dogging selection accordingly.
4) What door widths and heights does the Detex V5001P cover, and what about a 10 foot tall door?
Rail sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch for the door width, and rod lengths are ordered by door height in 84 inch, 96 inch, or 120 inch. The 120 inch option covers a 10 foot door without splicing rods. The rails are field sizable, so a narrower leaf within the range can be cut down on site.
5) Can I get the Detex V50 without a bottom rod for a door with carpet or an uneven threshold?
Yes. The vertical rod option is either a top and bottom rod device or a top rod only device. Top rod only avoids the floor strike entirely, which is the usual answer where carpet, snow, debris, or a sloping slab would foul a bottom bolt.
6) What dogging choices are there on the Detex Value Series, and which should I pick for a school?
Three choices: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less/no dogging. Hex key dogging is the standard low cost option and holds the pushpad retracted with 1/8 turn. Cylinder dogging locks that function behind a key so staff or the public cannot dog the door open, which is what most schools and institutions specify. Less/no dogging is what you order on a fire rated opening.
7) Does the Detex V50 fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The V50/V51 Value Series is a wide stile device, so it needs the stile width of a hollow metal, wood, or wide stile aluminum door. On a narrow stile storefront leaf you want a narrow stile rim or vertical rod device instead. Narrow stile pull trim is offered for the outside, but that does not change the wide stile rail requirement.
8) Can I get a Detex V50 with an exit alarm or delayed egress instead of adding a separate alarm?
Yes, the electrified options are built into the device order: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with its own battery, EE delayed egress, and EX request to exit signal switch. EB is the one to use where there is no power at the door. EX just reports the pushpad to an access control panel, it does not sound locally. Or take None for a straight mechanical device.
9) What is the closest wide stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the Detex V5001P if a job spec calls out Von Duprin?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest match: a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, in the 88 Series, listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Detex V5001P/V5101P Value Series is also Grade 1 and wide stile. The difference is configuration breadth - the Detex is ordered in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes for 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights, with top-and-bottom rod or top rod only, while the 8827-3FT is a 3 ft non-fire-rated device.
10) I need a fire rated vertical rod device on a pair of doors - what are my options besides the Detex V5001P?
The Detex V5001P/V5101P can be ordered fire rated, and hurricane or hurricane-and-fire-rated versions are also configurable. If you want an alternative, the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device sized for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in an aluminum finish, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR fire rated vertical rod exit device in 36 inch by 84 inch as well as the M9900F-VR at 48 inch by 84 inch, both exit only.
11) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a drop-in substitute for the Detex V5001P vertical rod device?
Not on a rated opening or a Grade 1 spec. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2 and not fire rated, exit only function. The Detex V5001P/V5101P is Grade 1 and can be ordered fire rated. If the drawing calls Grade 1 or the door is in a fire rated assembly, the 9860 will not satisfy it.
12) The Detex V5001P is handed - what vertical rod device is non-handed?
The Detex V5001P/V5101P is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse and is field reversible. If you would rather not carry handing at all, the Marks USA M9900VR is listed as non-handed in 36 inch by 84 inch, and the fire rated M9900FVR at 36 inch by 84 inch is also non-handed. Both are exit only, so they will not accept the outside trim functions the Detex accepts.
13) I have a 96 inch tall pair of doors - can I use the Marks USA M9900VR or do I need the Detex V5001P?
The Marks USA M9900VR devices are cataloged for 84 inch doors, in 36 inch and 48 inch widths. The Detex V5001P/V5101P is ordered by door height in 84, 96 and 120 inch, so for a 96 inch tall leaf the Detex is the device that covers it.
14) Which of these vertical rod devices can take outside trim rather than being exit only?
The Detex V5001P/V5101P accepts a variety of outside trims and functions, with standard and narrow stile pull trims available. The Cal-Royal 9860, Imperial USA ED-VR531 and the Marks USA M9900VR and M9900FVR are all listed with an exit only function, meaning no outside operating trim. If the opening needs outside access, the Detex is the device built to take it.
15) Which bottom strike do I order for a Detex V50 exit device, 96 or 96B?
The 96 package gives a surface non-roller top strike with a non-dust proof bottom strike. The 96B swaps that bottom strike for a dust proof strike, which is the one to take on exterior openings or dusty industrial floors where a plain floor strike fills with grit. Strike selection is required at order time.
16) Is the Detex Value Series exit device Grade 1, and how does it compare to a Cal-Royal 9860?
The Detex V50/V51 carries a BHMA Grade 1 rating for commercial use. The Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod device we carry is Grade 2 and is not fire rated, so it is the lighter duty option for a lower traffic opening. If you need Grade 1 in a vertical rod, the Detex, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, and the Delaney 9100 Series are all Grade 1.
17) I need a wide stile Grade 1 vertical rod device for a 1-3/4 inch door. What are my options besides Detex?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the closest wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod alternative, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors in the 88 Series at 3 ft. Imperial USA ED-VR531 is another wide stile Grade 1 at 36 inches, exit only. The Detex V50/V51 differs from both in that you can order it with a built in exit alarm or delayed egress and with cylinder dogging.
18) If I only need push to exit with no outside trim, is there a cheaper alternative to the Detex V50?
Exit only devices are the simpler route. Marks USA M9900VR at 36 x 84 and M9900VR-48X84 at 48 x 84 are exit only vertical rod panic devices, and the Marks M9900FVR 36 x 84 and MARM9900F-VR 48 x 84 are the fire rated exit only versions. The Detex V50/V51 is the one to choose when you do want outside access, since it accepts a range of outside trims and functions.
19) Does the Detex Value Series come with templates, or do I need to lay it out myself?
Layout is handled by a patented mounting plate and strike locator system rather than a paper template, which is what keeps the top and bottom strikes in line with the rods on a double door. Door prep requirements are minimal. Full installation instructions and the parts list are published for the V50/V51, and Detex posts door prep templates and an installation video for the series as well.
20) Will the Detex V50 hold up on a high traffic exterior door that gets kicked and cart-struck?
Construction is aimed at that: a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion for stiffness, impact resistant ABS on the pushpad housing, an angled end cap that deflects blows away from the device, and stainless steel latch bolts. It is rated Grade 1 commercial. For exterior use with a bottom bolt, take the 96B dust proof bottom strike.
21) I have a hurricane rated opening. Is there a Detex V50 version that qualifies?
Yes. Along with Non-Rated and Fire Rated, the V50/V51 is offered as Hurricane and as Hurricane and Fire Rated. Pick the combined version where the opening has to satisfy both the fire door assembly and the impact requirement.
22) If I only need a plain exit-only vertical rod device with no alarm or delayed egress, what should I look at instead of the Detex V5001P?
The Detex V5001P/V5101P is configured with electrified options including hardwired electric alarm, battery alarm, delayed egress and request-to-exit switch, and can also be ordered with none of those. For a straightforward mechanical exit-only device, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in the ED-500 Series, exit only and non-fire-rated, and the Marks USA M9900VR is a vertical rod panic exit device in 36 inch by 84 inch, exit only, non-handed.
23) Do any of these vertical rod exit devices cover a hurricane rated opening?
The Detex V5001P/V5101P is configurable as hurricane, hurricane and fire rated, fire rated, or non-rated. Among the comparable wide stile vertical rod devices, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Imperial USA ED-VR531, Delaney 8100 and 9100 Series and Cal-Royal 9860 are all listed non-fire-rated, so for a hurricane application the Detex is the one to configure.
24) What finishes does the Detex V5001P come in, and will it match my other exit devices?
Two finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. 628 is the clear anodized look that matches most aluminum storefront and existing aluminum exit hardware; 711 is the dark option for black anodized or painted dark frames.
