Detex V50xNS HD 628 96 36X84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex V50xNS work on a pair of aluminum storefront doors with no mullion?
That is exactly the opening it is built for. The V50xNS is a narrow stile surface vertical rod device intended for double doors without a mullion. It latches at the head with a 3/4 inch deadlocking stainless top latch bolt and at the sill with a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long bottom drop bolt, so each leaf secures itself top and bottom and no center post is needed. If your pair already has a mullion, a rim device would be the simpler choice.
2) Is the Detex V50xNS available fire rated for a labeled door?
Yes, the rating is a choice you make when ordering: Standard or F for fire rated. Fire rated devices are ordered without mechanical dogging, so pair the F option with the Less Dogging build rather than cylinder or hex dogging.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Detex V50xNS narrow stile exit device?
Handing is required at order: Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, which are the two handings exit devices use on outswing doors. The device is field reversible, so an installer can flip it on site if the opening turns out opposite to what was ordered.
4) What door heights and widths does the Detex V50xNS cover?
Rod lengths are ordered by door height in 84, 96, and 120 inch builds, and the rail comes in 36 or 48 inch device sizes to suit the door width. Measure the actual leaf height before ordering, since the vertical rod set is what changes between the three heights.
5) Can I get the Detex V50xNS with an exterior lever or key pull instead of exit only?
Outside trim is part of the order. Choices are 01PN blank plate narrow, 03AN night latch pull trim narrow, 03PN night latch trim narrow, 08BN classroom lever, 09BN storeroom lever, or exit only with no outside trim at all. Trim is modular, so it can be changed out or rekeyed later without pulling the device off the door.
6) Does the Detex V50xNS come with an alarm or delayed egress option?
Three electrified builds are offered alongside the standard mechanical device: EB battery powered electric alarm, EA hardwired electric alarm, and EE delayed egress. Choose None if you only need panic hardware. Delayed egress installations are governed by local code and typically require fire alarm tie in, so coordinate EE with the alarm contractor.
7) How does the Detex V50xNS compare to a Von Duprin 8827 surface vertical rod device?
Different stile applications. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, so it suits hollow metal and wood leaves. The V50xNS is the narrow stile answer, for aluminum storefront leaves that do not have the face width to take a wide stile rail. Both are Grade 1.
8) My doors are wide stile aluminum, not narrow stile — what surface vertical rod device should I use instead of the Detex V50xNS?
The Detex V50xNS is built specifically for narrow stile doors, so on a wide stile opening you want a device catalogued for that stile. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, Grade 1, 3 ft, listed for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is also a wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod device in a 36 inch width. Both are Grade 1 like the V50xNS, so the deciding factor is the stile width of the door you are hanging them on.
9) I need a fire rated vertical rod device — what are my options besides ordering the Detex V50xNS in the F configuration?
The V50xNS is ordered with a Rating selection of Standard or F - Fire Rated, so the fire label is handled within the same device. If you prefer a dedicated fire rated unit, the Delaney F9100 Series (DLY-694300) is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 inch x 84 inch door in an aluminum finish, and Marks USA offers the M9900FVR at 36 inch x 84 inch and the M9900F-VR at 48 inch x 84 inch, both fire rated and exit only. The Detex remains the choice where narrow stile doors and outside lever or night latch trim are involved.
10) What is the closest Grade 1 equivalent to the Detex V50xNS for a standard 36 x 84 non-fire-rated opening?
On a plain 36 inch x 84 inch non-rated door, the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301) is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod type device in a stainless steel finish, and the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for the same 36 inch x 84 inch door. Both match the V50xNS on Grade 1 and heavy-duty class. The V50xNS differs in that it is weatherized for exterior exposure and is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch widths with 84, 96 and 120 inch heights.
11) Will a Von Duprin 8827 or Marks M9900VR work as a drop-in replacement for a Detex V50xNS?
No, treat them as different devices rather than swaps. The 8827-3FT is a wide stile device and the V50xNS is narrow stile, so the door prep and stile width do not correspond. The Marks M9900VR is non-handed and exit only, while the V50xNS is a handed device with field reversible capability and accepts outside trims including 08BN classroom lever, 09BN storeroom lever and 03PN night latch. If the existing opening was prepped for the Detex, staying with the V50xNS keeps the mounting plate and strike locations consistent.
12) Which dogging should I order on the V50xNS for a retail entrance that stays unlocked during business hours?
Pick cylinder dogging if staff should hold the latches retracted with a key, or hex dogging if a hex key in the hands of maintenance is acceptable. Less dogging is the build for fire rated openings, where holding the latches back is not permitted.
13) Can the Detex V50xNS be used on an exterior door exposed to weather?
Yes. The V50xNS is built weatherized, with impact resistant ABS and anodized surfaces for outdoor exposure. That is the main reason to choose it over a plain interior rated vertical rod device on a perimeter or courtyard opening.
14) What else could I buy if I need a fire rated vertical rod device on a 36 x 84 door?
Two routes. Ordering the V50xNS with the F rating option gets you a Grade 1 narrow stile fire rated device. If the leaf is not narrow stile, the Delaney F9100 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated vertical rod device sized for a 36 by 84 door, and the Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated exit only vertical rod device in the same 36 by 84 size.
15) Is there a cheaper vertical rod exit device than the Detex V50xNS if I do not need Grade 1?
The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod device, exit only and not fire rated, so it is the lighter duty option for a low traffic interior opening. For anything on a main entrance or a high cycle door, stay with a Grade 1 device like the V50xNS.
16) How much door prep does the Detex V50xNS need on an existing aluminum door?
Minimal. Detex uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator system in place of paper templates, which sets the strike positions off the device itself and keeps the hole pattern small. Door prep templates and the printed installation instructions are published by Detex for the V50 platform.
17) Will the 3/4 inch top latch on the V50xNS engage my existing head strike?
Probably not without changing the strike. The top bolt is a 3/4 inch deadlocking stainless latch and the bottom is a 5/8 inch diameter drop bolt 5-5/8 inches long, and Detex supplies its own strike locator system to set both. Plan on using the strikes and locator that come with the device rather than reusing what is in the header and threshold.
18) I only need push-to-exit with no outside trim on a 36 x 84 door — is there a simpler vertical rod device than the Detex V50xNS?
Yes. The V50xNS can be ordered Exit Only, but it is a handed device with dogging and trim options built into the order. If you want a fixed exit-only unit, the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 inch x 84 inch vertical rod panic exit device, exit only and non-handed, and the Cal-Royal 9860 is a surface vertical rod exit device with an exit only function and ADA compliance. Note the 9860 is Grade 2 where the V50xNS is Grade 1, so check what your spec calls for.
19) I need a 48 inch wide vertical rod device — which ones cover that width?
The Detex V50xNS is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch widths and covers 84, 96 and 120 inch door heights. In the 48 inch range the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 is a 48 inch x 84 inch vertical rod panic device, exit only, and the Marks USA M9900F-VR at 48 inch x 84 inch is the fire rated exit only version. The Detex is the option to look at when the door is narrow stile or exposed to weather.
20) What finishes does the Detex V50xNS come in for matching aluminum storefront?
Two: 628 brushed aluminum, which matches clear anodized storefront, and 711 black aluminum for dark bronze or black anodized frames. Both are aluminum finishes chosen to blend with narrow stile entrances.
