Detex V5001PN-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex V50 vertical rod device secure a pair of doors with no mullion?
That is what the V50/V51 Value Series is built for. It is a surface vertical rod device, so it latches into the frame head and, on the V50, into the floor, which is how you secure double doors without a center mullion. The V50 is the top and bottom rod version; the V51 runs a top rod only, which you pick when you want to avoid a bottom strike in the floor.
2) Should I order the V50 with both rods or the V51 top rod only?
Take the V50 (top and bottom rod) where you need the extra bottom latch point and the floor can take a strike. Go V51 (top rod only) on openings where a floor strike is a trip hazard, a maintenance headache with dirt and water, or the slab prep is not there. The bottom drop bolt on the V50 is 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inches long.
3) Will the Detex V50 fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The V50/V51 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 glass storefront door you need a narrow stile device instead. Note the distinction is the device body itself, not the trim, even though narrow stile pull trim is offered for the outside.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex V50 exit device?
Yes, it is ordered handed, either right hand reverse or left hand reverse. The good news for a locksmith carrying stock is that the device is field reversible, so a unit on the truck can be flipped to the other hand on site rather than sent back.
5) What door sizes and heights does the Detex Value Series vertical rod device cover?
Rails come in 36 inch and 48 inch device widths, with rod kits for 84 inch, 96 inch, and 120 inch door heights. The rail is field sizable, so you trim to the actual door leaf. Order the rod length by the door height, not by the frame opening.
6) Is the Detex V50 available fire rated for a stairwell or corridor pair?
Fire rated versions are offered, along with non-rated, hurricane, and hurricane plus fire rated builds. On a fire rated opening you cannot use dogging, so specify Less/No dogging on those units; hex or cylinder dogging belongs on non-rated doors where you want the pushbar held down during business hours.
7) Can I get the Detex Value Series device with an alarm or delayed egress?
Yes. Electrified builds include EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EX request to exit signal switch, and EE delayed egress, plus a plain mechanical version with no electrical option. EB is the one to look at on a remote exterior exit where you have no power run; EX is what you use to signal an access control panel that the bar was pushed.
8) What other wide stile surface vertical rod devices could I use instead of the Detex V50?
The closest wide stile Grade 1 alternatives we carry are the Von Duprin 8827-3FT (88 Series, 3 ft, rated for 1-3/4 inch doors) and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 from the ED-500 Series in 36 inch. Both are listed non fire rated, so if the opening is a fire door the Detex fire rated build or a Delaney F9100 Series fire rated vertical rod device is the direction to go. If you only need Grade 2 on a light traffic non-rated door, the Cal-Royal 9860 is the lighter spec.
9) Which vertical rod devices can take outside trim, and which are exit only?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series accepts a variety of outside trims and functions, with standard and narrow stile pull trims available. Several peers are catalogued specifically as exit only, meaning no outside operating trim: the Cal-Royal 9860, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Marks USA M9900VR, M9900VR-48X84, M9900FVR-36X84 and MARM9900F-VR. If the opening needs outside key or pull entry, the trim-accepting Detex device fits that requirement directly.
10) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the Detex V50 for a 3 ft door?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest peer: a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 1 in a 3 ft width, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is also a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device and covers 36 inch and 48 inch rail sizes. The main difference in ordering is that the Detex is specified by handing - right hand reverse or left hand reverse - along with a rating option of non-rated, fire rated, hurricane, or hurricane and fire rated, and an electrified option, while the 8827-3FT is a single fixed 3 ft configuration.
11) I need a fire rated vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 double door leaf - what are my options besides the Detex V50?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series can be ordered in a fire rated rating option, or hurricane and fire rated, in 36 inch rail length for 84 inch door height. Fire rated peers include the Delaney F9100 Series DLY-694300, a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device built for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR-36X84, a fire rated vertical rod exit device for 36 inch by 84 inch doors in an exit only function. The Marks device is non-handed, while the Detex is a handed design that is field reversible.
12) What should I use instead of the Detex V50 if I want a non-handed vertical rod device so I do not have to specify left or right?
The Marks USA M9900VR 36 inch by 84 inch vertical rod panic exit device is non-handed and exit only, and the fire rated M9900FVR-36X84 is non-handed as well. For 48 inch openings Marks lists the M9900VR-48X84 and the fire rated MARM9900F-VR at 48 inch by 84 inch. The Detex V50/V51 is a handed design ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though it is field reversible, so a single Detex device can be turned over on site rather than restocked.
13) I need a vertical rod device with a built-in alarm or delayed egress - do any of the comparable devices cover that?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is the one to specify for that. Its electrified options include EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, and EX request to exit signal switch, or none for a purely mechanical device. The comparable Grade 1 vertical rod devices - the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301, Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684, and Imperial USA ED-VR531 - are catalogued as mechanical vertical rod devices without those alarm or delayed egress options.
14) I need hurricane rated exit hardware - will any of the comparable vertical rod devices work?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is the device to specify for that, since its rating options include hurricane and hurricane and fire rated in addition to non-rated and fire rated. The comparable vertical rod devices are catalogued by fire rating only - for example the Delaney F9100 DLY-694300 and Marks USA M9900FVR-36X84 are fire rated, while the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Imperial ED-VR531 and Cal-Royal 9860 are not fire rated - so for a hurricane opening the Detex hurricane rating option is the direct match.
15) I have a 120 inch tall door - do the comparable vertical rod devices cover that height?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series lists door heights of 84 inch, 96 inch, and 120 inch. The comparable vertical rod devices that state a door size are built around 84 inch doors - the Delaney DLY-692301, DLY-694300 and DLY-8100-3684 at 36 inch by 84 inch, and the Marks USA M9900VR and M9900FVR at 36 inch by 84 inch with 48 inch by 84 inch versions. For a 120 inch opening the Detex device with the 120 inch door height selection is the correct choice.
16) What is the difference between the 96 and 96B strike options on the Detex V50?
The 96 package gives you a surface non-roller top strike with a standard (non dust proof) bottom strike. The 96B swaps that bottom strike for a dust proof strike, which is the one to take on exterior pairs or anywhere grit, sand, or mop water collects at the threshold and would foul the drop bolt pocket. Strike choice is a required selection on the order.
17) Will the 3/4 inch latch bolt on the Detex V50 hold in my existing head strike?
The top latch is a stainless steel deadlocking bolt with a 3/4 inch throw, and it is designed around the Detex 96 surface top strike supplied with the device. Because it is a surface applied strike rather than a mortised one, plan on mounting the supplied strike to the frame head rather than reusing whatever is there from a different brand device.
18) Is the Detex V50 Grade 1 for a school or hospital corridor?
BHMA Grade 1 and listed as commercial duty, which is the level specified for high traffic institutional openings. Construction is a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion with impact resistant ABS and an angled end cap that pushes cart and door strikes away from the device body, which matters in hospital and school corridors more than anywhere else.
19) Does the Detex V50 need a lot of door prep, and does it come with a template?
Door prep is minimal compared with traditional panic hardware, and the device uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of a paper template, which is what keeps the top strike and bottom strike lined up with the rods. Detex publishes installation instructions, a parts list, door prep templates, and an installation video for the Value Series.
20) Is there a lower grade surface vertical rod device if Grade 1 is not required by my spec?
The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2 in an exit only function, with no fire rating. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is Grade 1 and can be ordered non-rated or fire rated. If the opening is a fire door, the Grade 2 non-fire-rated 9860 will not satisfy it; on a non-rated opening either grade may be acceptable depending on what the drawing calls for.
21) Is a top rod only device the same as a top and bottom rod device, and do the comparables offer that choice?
They are not the same. On the Detex Value Series the vertical rod axis is a real choice: V50 is a top and bottom rod device, V51 is a top rod only device. The Detex also offers a bottom strike choice - 96 surface non-roller top strike with non-dust proof bottom strike, or 96B substituting a dust proof bottom strike - which matters when a bottom rod is present. Peer devices such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT, Delaney DLY-692301 and Imperial ED-VR531 are each catalogued as a single surface vertical rod configuration rather than a top-rod-only alternative, so do not order one expecting to omit the bottom rod.
22) Which 48 inch vertical rod exit devices are comparable to the Detex V50 at that width?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is offered in a 48 inch rail size alongside 36 inch. At 48 inches the peers are the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84, a 48 inch by 84 inch vertical rod panic exit device in an exit only function, and the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR, the fire rated 48 inch by 84 inch version, also exit only. Both Marks devices are non-handed. The Detex at 48 inches is ordered by handing and can take outside trim.
23) What finishes does the Detex V50 come in, and will it match my other exit doors?
Two finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. 628 is the standard clear anodized look that matches most aluminum storefront and commercial hollow metal hardware; 711 is the choice on dark bronze or black painted frames. If you are standardizing a building, pick one and carry it across all the pairs.
