Detex V5002ANxNS-628-36x84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex Value Series V50xNS vertical rod device work on a pair of aluminum storefront doors with no mullion?
That is exactly what it is built for. The Detex Value Series V50xNS/V51xNS is a narrow stile surface vertical rod device intended for narrow stile double doors without a mullion. It latches at the head and at the threshold, so each leaf secures on its own and no center mullion is needed. Narrow stile is the stile type called out for the device, so it suits aluminum storefront leaves rather than wide stile hollow metal.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Detex V5002ANxNS exit device?
Yes, handing is a required choice: right hand reverse or left hand reverse, which are the two handings exit devices use. The device is handed but field reversible, so a leaf that was mis-specified can be corrected on site rather than returned.
3) What is the Dummy Pull Trim function on the Detex Value Series device, and can someone get in from outside?
Dummy pull trim means the outside pull is fixed and does nothing mechanically. It gives a grip to close the door, but it will not retract the latches. Entry from outside requires dogging the device down (hex or cylinder dogging is a required selection) or a different keyed trim. The trim system is modular, so outside trim can be changed or rekeyed later without pulling the device off the door.
4) Should I order the top and bottom rod device or the top rod only version?
Both are offered. Top and bottom rod gives two locking points, the 3/4 inch deadlocking stainless top latch bolt plus a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long bottom drop bolt, which is the more secure setup. Top rod only (commonly called less bottom rod) removes the floor strike and drop bolt, which keeps the threshold clear of a trip point, avoids problems with uneven floors or carpet, and cuts maintenance on high traffic exterior pairs. Security at the sill is lower, so pick it where the threshold condition matters more than the second latch point.
5) My door is a wide stile hollow metal leaf. Is the Detex V50xNS still the right device?
No. The V50xNS/V51xNS is a narrow stile device and belongs on narrow stile aluminum leaves. For a wide stile opening, look at the Von Duprin 8827-3FT surface vertical rod, a Grade 1 wide stile device listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod in 36 inch. Both are exit only, so neither carries outside trim as configured.
6) I need a 48 inch fire rated vertical rod device - what are my options besides the Detex Value Series?
The Detex V5002ANxNS/V5102ANxNS is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes with a fire rated option. For a 48 inch fire rated alternative, the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR is a 48 by 84 inch fire rated vertical rod panic exit device, exit only. Note the Marks device is exit only, so it takes no keyed or pull trim, whereas the Detex accepts outside trim including the dummy pull.
7) What surface vertical rod exit device should I use on a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal door instead of the Detex V50xNS?
The Detex V5002ANxNS/V5102ANxNS Value Series device is built for narrow stile doors. For a wide stile door, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in the 88 Series sized for a 3 ft door and prepped for 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in the ED-500 Series for a 36 inch door. Both are wide stile devices, so confirm the stile width on your opening before ordering.
8) Is there a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod exit device equivalent to the Detex V50xNS fire rated version?
The Detex V5002ANxNS/V5102ANxNS is offered in fire rated and non-rated configurations and carries a Grade 1 rating. Comparable fire rated Grade 1 vertical rod devices include the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300), a fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door in aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR for a 36 by 84 inch door, which is fire rated and exit only, non-handed. The Detex is handed and field reversible, while the M9900FVR is non-handed.
9) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex V50xNS narrow stile exit device?
They are not interchangeable on a Grade 1 specification. The Detex V5002ANxNS/V5102ANxNS is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device available fire rated or non-rated. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod device that is not fire rated and is exit only. If the drawing calls for Grade 1 or a fire rated opening, the 9860 will not satisfy it.
10) Which vertical rod exit device covers a 120 inch tall door?
The Detex V5002ANxNS/V5102ANxNS is offered for 84 inch, 96 inch, and 120 inch door heights and can be ordered as a top rod only or top and bottom rod device. The comparable devices are catalogued for 84 inch tall doors, including the Delaney 9100 and F9100 Series for 36 by 84 inch doors and the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 by 84 and 48 by 84 inch. For a tall opening the Detex is the device to configure.
11) What is the difference between the 96 and 96B strike options on the Detex V50 series?
Strike selection is required. The 96 package is 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 what you want where the floor strike sits in a doorway collecting grit, sand or water and the bottom bolt would otherwise jam. Exterior and warehouse openings usually justify the 96B.
12) What electrified options can I add to a Detex Value Series V51 exit device?
Four, plus a plain mechanical build: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery power, EE delayed egress, and EX request-to-exit signal switch. EB suits an opening with no power run to the door. EX is the one to pick when the exit only needs to report to an access control panel or shunt an alarm. EE delayed egress is used where local code permits holding the door for a delay before release.
13) Will the Detex narrow stile exit device latch into my existing storefront strikes?
Plan on using the supplied strikes. The top latch bolt is a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking stainless bolt and the bottom bolt is 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long, and the strike set is a required order selection (96 or 96B), so the head and sill strikes come with the device and are located using the patented mounting plate and strike locator instead of a paper template.
14) Is the Detex Value Series exit device Grade 1, and what finishes does it come in?
Grade 1, rated for commercial duty, with a ribbed aluminum rail extrusion, impact resistant ABS and anodized surfaces. Two finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum, both of which match common storefront framing so a facility can standardize across entrances.
15) What else could I buy instead of the Detex Value Series vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 opening?
Several Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices sized 36 x 84 are available. The Delaney 9100 Series (stainless finish) and the Delaney 8100 Series are Grade 1 non-rated; the Delaney F9100 Series is the Grade 1 fire rated equivalent. Marks USA M9900VR covers exit only non-handed at 36 x 84, with the M9900FVR as the fire rated version. Note the Marks devices are non-handed, so handing is not an order decision the way it is on the Detex. The Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2 rather than Grade 1 and non-rated, so it is a lighter duty substitute.
16) What is the difference between the Detex V50xNS with dummy pull trim and an exit only vertical rod device?
The Detex V5002ANxNS/V5102ANxNS is configured with dummy pull trim, giving the outside face a pull for a door that is not meant to be opened from outside without dogging. Exit only vertical rod devices such as the Cal-Royal 9860, Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 by 84 and 48 by 84 sizes have no outside trim at all, so the outside face is blank. Choose exit only where no outside pull is wanted on the door.
17) What non-rated Grade 1 vertical rod exit devices compare to the Detex Value Series V50xNS?
The Detex V5002ANxNS/V5102ANxNS is Grade 1 and offered in a non-rated configuration for narrow stile doors. Non-rated Grade 1 peers include the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door in stainless steel finish, the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) for a 36 by 84 inch door, and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT in the 88 Series for a 3 ft door. The Von Duprin is a wide stile device; verify your stile width when cross-shopping.
18) Which vertical rod device should I choose if I do not want to specify handing?
The Detex V5002ANxNS/V5102ANxNS is ordered by handing, right hand reverse or left hand reverse, and is field reversible. If you would rather avoid a handing decision at order time, the Marks USA M9900VR 36 by 84 inch vertical rod panic device and the fire rated M9900FVR 36 by 84 inch are both non-handed, exit only devices.
19) Do any comparable vertical rod exit devices offer the electrified options the Detex V50xNS does?
The Detex V5002ANxNS/V5102ANxNS can be ordered with hardwired electric alarm, electric alarm with battery, delayed egress, or a request-to-exit signal switch, in addition to a non-electrified build. The comparable vertical rod devices from Cal-Royal, Delaney, Imperial USA, Marks USA, and Von Duprin are mechanical exit devices in their listed configurations, so if the opening needs alarm or delayed egress function the Detex is the one to configure.
20) How hard is the Detex V50 series to install compared to other panic devices?
Detex ships a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of paper templates, which is the part that normally goes wrong when locating the head and sill strikes on a pair. Door prep is minimal for narrow stile leaves. Installation instructions and the parts list are published as PDFs, and door prep templates and an installation video are available from Detex.
21) I need 48 inch wide leaves on one entrance and 36 inch on another. Can I standardize on one Detex device?
Yes, within the same series. The V50xNS/V51xNS is offered in 36 and 48 inch device sizes and the rail is field sizable, so a property can keep one series, one finish (628 brushed or 711 black) and one strike package across mixed entrance widths while still ordering the right rod length for 84, 96 or 120 inch leaves.
