Detex V5002BNxNS-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 the application. The Detex Value Series V50xNS/V51xNS is a narrow stile surface vertical rod device built for narrow stile double doors without a mullion. Because it latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a center post, the pair stays clear when both leaves are open. Narrow stile aluminum doors are the intended stile type.
2) Is the Detex V5002BNxNS handed, and can I flip it in the field?
It is handed, but field reversible, so one device can be set up either way during install. On the order form you still pick a hand: Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, which are the two handings used on doors that swing out, as an exit device door does.
3) Does the Detex Value Series narrow stile exit device come fire rated?
Both ways. The V50xNS/V51xNS is ordered either Fire Rated or Non-Rated. If the opening is a labeled fire door pair, specify the fire rated build and skip dogging, since fire exit hardware cannot be held retracted.
4) What bolts does the Detex V50 series vertical rod device latch with, and will they hold up on a high traffic door?
Top latching is a stainless steel 3/4 inch deadlocking bolt; the bottom is a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long drop bolt into the threshold strike. The device carries a BHMA Grade 1 rating, the top commercial grade, so it is built for heavy use openings like schools, retail and office entries.
5) Do I need the top and bottom rod version, or will top rod only work?
Both are offered. Top and bottom rod gives you the 5-5/8 inch drop bolt into the floor strike as well as the top latch, which is the more secure setup. Top rod only latches at the head, which keeps the bottom of the door clear where floor conditions, carpet or drainage make a bottom strike a problem. On fire rated pairs, follow the door manufacturer's listing for which configuration is permitted.
6) What does the dummy lever trim on the Detex V5002BNxNS actually do?
Nothing but pull. The dummy lever is a fixed outside trim with no cylinder and no latch retraction, so the door is exit only from the inside and the outside lever is a pull handle. If you need key access from outside, order a keyed trim function instead. The trim system is modular and accepts other outside trims, and cylinders can be changed or rekeyed without pulling the device off the door.
7) Can I add an alarm or delayed egress to the Detex Value Series exit device?
Four electrified builds are available on the V50xNS/V51xNS: EA hardwired electric alarm, EB electric alarm with battery, EE delayed egress, and EX request to exit signal switch. EB suits a door with no power run to it. EX is the one to pick when you just need a signal back to an access control panel. Delayed egress installations have to be approved by your local authority having jurisdiction.
8) What is a comparable Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device for a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal door?
The Detex V5002BNxNS/V5102BNxNS Value Series device is built for narrow stile doors. For a wide stile door, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device listed as wide stile with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in a 36 inch size. Confirm the stile width of your door leaf before choosing between narrow and wide stile chassis.
9) If I do not need outside trim, what vertical rod exit device should I use instead of the Detex V5002BNxNS?
The Detex V5002BNxNS/V5102BNxNS is configured with a dummy lever as outside trim. For openings where no outside operation or pull is wanted, exit only devices include the Marks USA M9900VR in 36 inch x 84 inch and the M9900VR 48 inch x 84 inch, the Imperial USA ED-VR531, and the Cal-Royal 9860, all listed as exit only function.
10) Which fire rated vertical rod exit devices compare to the Detex Value Series V50xNS?
The Detex V5002BNxNS/V5102BNxNS is orderable in a fire rated or non-rated configuration. Other fire rated surface vertical rod options are the Delaney F9100 Series for a 36 inch x 84 inch door in aluminum finish, listed Grade 1 fire rated, and the Marks USA M9900FVR 36 inch x 84 inch and MARM9900F-VR 48 inch x 84 inch, both fire rated exit only devices.
11) Should I pick hex dogging or cylinder dogging on this Detex device?
Hex dogging uses an Allen key, which is fine where only staff touch it and keeps cost down. Cylinder dogging takes a key cylinder, so dogging is controlled by the same key system as the rest of the building, which is what most institutions specify. Less/no dogging is the option to take on fire rated openings.
12) What is the difference between the 96 and 96B strike option on the Detex V50 vertical rod?
The 96 package is 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 has a spring loaded cover that keeps dirt and grit out of the floor hole. Choose 96B for exterior doors, sidewalk level entries and anywhere the threshold collects debris.
13) How do I lay out the door prep for the Detex Value Series without paper templates?
The Value Series ships with a patented mounting plate and strike locator system that takes the place of a paper template, which is what gets the top and bottom strikes in line with the rods on the first try. Detex also publishes installation instructions and a parts list PDF, plus door prep templates and an install video, all linked from the product resources.
14) What are the alternatives to the Detex Value Series if I just need a plain exit only vertical rod device?
If no outside trim is needed at all, several exit only surface vertical rod devices cover it. Marks USA M9900VR comes in 36 x 84 and 48 x 84 exit only and non-handed, which removes the handing decision. Delaney's 8100 and 9100 Series are Grade 1 vertical rod devices for 36 x 84 doors. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 exit only device, a step down in grade from the Grade 1 Detex. Where the opening is a fire door, the fire rated peers are the Delaney F9100 Series and the Marks USA M9900FVR.
15) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a direct substitute for the Detex V5002BNxNS narrow stile vertical rod device?
No. The Detex V5002BNxNS/V5102BNxNS carries a Grade 1 rating and is offered in fire rated or non-rated form with a dummy lever. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod device, exit only function, and is listed as not fire rated. If the opening requires Grade 1 or a fire label, the 9860 will not cover it.
16) What Grade 1 vertical rod device should I look at for a standard 36 inch by 84 inch door if I do not need electrified options?
The Detex V5002BNxNS/V5102BNxNS can be ordered with electrified options including hardwired electric alarm, alarm with battery, delayed egress, or request to exit switch, or with none. For a straightforward mechanical 36 inch x 84 inch opening, the Delaney 9100 Series device is Grade 1 in a stainless steel finish and the Delaney 8100 Series is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for the same door size; both are listed non fire rated.
17) Do any comparable vertical rod exit devices avoid specifying handing?
The Detex V5002BNxNS/V5102BNxNS is ordered as right hand reverse or left hand reverse, though the chassis is field reversible. The Marks USA M9900VR 36 inch x 84 inch and the M9900FVR 36 inch x 84 inch fire rated version are both listed as non-handed, which removes the handing decision at the time of order.
18) Will the Detex Value Series finish match my existing storefront hardware?
Two finishes are offered: 628 brushed aluminum, which is the standard clear anodized look on most aluminum storefront, and 711 black aluminum for dark anodized frames. The rail itself is a ribbed aluminum extrusion with impact resistant ABS and anodized surfaces, so it wears in line with the rest of the entrance hardware.
