Detex V50W HD 628 96 36X84 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Detex V50xW work on a pair of doors with no mullion?
That's exactly what the V50xW is built for. It's a surface vertical rod device, so it latches into the head at the top and into the threshold at the bottom, which means a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion. The top latch is a 3/4 inch deadlocking stainless bolt and the bottom is a 5/8 inch diameter by 5-5/8 inch long drop bolt. Order one device per leaf.
2) Can the Detex V50xW exit device be used on an exterior door exposed to rain and salt air?
Yes, weatherization is the whole point of the xW version. It's tested to MIL-STD 810F Method 506.4 driving rain and Method 509.4 salt fog, plus UL1034 Temperature Section 34 and UL1034 Dust Section 54. That makes it a candidate for coastal, loading dock, stairwell discharge and other openings where a standard interior exit device corrodes or jams.
3) Do I have to order the Detex V50xW handed, or can it be reversed in the field?
You pick a hand when you order, Right Hand Reverse or Left Hand Reverse, but the device is field reversible if you end up with the wrong one or the opening changes. Both leaves of a pair are usually opposite hands, so check each leaf before you place the order.
4) What door widths and heights does the Detex V50xW cover, and what if my doors are taller than 7 feet?
Device sizes are 36 inch and 48 inch to suit the door width, and rod lengths come in 84 inch, 96 inch and 120 inch to suit door height. So a standard 7 foot opening takes the 84 inch, an 8 foot door takes the 96 inch, and a 10 foot door takes the 120 inch. Specify width and height as two separate choices.
5) Can I get a Detex V50xW for a fire rated door opening?
Yes. Rating is an ordering choice: Standard, or F for fire rated. The device is UL listed panic and fire exit hardware and complies with UBC standard 7-2 positive pressure. One thing to plan for: fire rated openings cannot use dogging, so if you're specifying the F version, choose Less Dogging rather than hex or cylinder dogging.
6) Can I put a lever handle on the outside of a Detex V50xW, or is it exit only?
Either. Outside trim choices are 08BN classroom lever and 09BN storeroom lever, night latch pull trims in 03A, 03AN, 03P and 03PN, blank plates in 01P and 01PN, or Exit Only with no outside trim at all. The N suffix versions are the narrow variants for tighter stiles. Trim can be changed or rekeyed later without pulling the device off the door.
7) Does the Detex V50xW come with a door alarm or delayed egress?
Both are ordering options on the device rather than add-on boxes. EB gives you a battery powered local alarm on the device, EA is the same alarm but hardwired, and EE is delayed egress for openings where you need to hold someone at the door before it releases. Choose None if you just want mechanical panic hardware. Delayed egress and hardwired alarms need a power supply and, in most jurisdictions, fire alarm release, so coordinate EA and EE with your electrical scope.
8) Will a wide stile vertical rod exit device work on the same aluminum door as the Detex V50xW?
Not interchangeably. The Detex V50xW is a narrow stile device. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are both wide stile surface vertical rod devices, which need a wider lock stile than a narrow stile aluminum storefront leaf provides. Measure the stile before substituting: a wide stile chassis on a narrow stile door will not land on the available face.
9) What is the closest Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device to the Detex V50xW if the door is interior and does not need weatherization?
The Detex V50xW is a Grade 1 heavy-duty surface vertical rod device built weatherized for outdoor and harsh-environment openings. For a dry interior opening, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device in the 88 Series, cut for 1-3/4 inch door thickness and wide stile. The V50xW is a narrow stile device, so the stile width of the door decides between them: aluminum storefront leaves that will not take a wide stile chassis need the narrow stile V50xW, while a hollow metal or wide stile leaf will accept the 8827.
10) Which vertical rod exit device should be used instead of the Detex V50xW when the opening only needs exit and no outside trim?
The Detex V50xW is trim-ready across a range of outside trims including night latch pull, classroom lever and storeroom lever, and it also configures as exit only. If the opening never needs outside access, the Marks USA M9900VR is a 36 inch by 84 inch vertical rod panic device supplied exit only and non-handed, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 36 inch surface vertical rod device that is also exit only. Both are fixed-function exit only devices, so the trim decision is made at purchase rather than left changeable later.
11) What is the fire rated alternative to the Detex V50xW vertical rod exit device?
The Detex V50xW is ordered with a rating choice of standard or F fire rated, so the fire label is a configuration of the same device. If a separate fire rated vertical rod device is wanted instead, the Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated vertical rod exit device for a 36 inch by 84 inch opening and non-handed, the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR covers the 48 inch by 84 inch opening fire rated, and the Delaney F9100 Series fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device is Grade 1 for a 36 inch by 84 inch door in aluminum finish. The V50xW is handed and field reversible; the Marks devices are non-handed.
12) Is the Cal-Royal 9860 a substitute for the Detex V50xW exit device?
They are not the same class of device. The Detex V50xW is Grade 1 heavy-duty and weatherized, with a fire rated configuration available. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 heavy duty surface vertical rod device, exit only function, and is not fire rated. On an opening where the specification calls for Grade 1 or a fire label, the 9860 does not answer it; on a non-rated, non-labeled exit only opening it is a surface vertical rod device of the same basic type.
13) Do any comparable vertical rod exit devices offer the alarm and delayed egress functions the Detex V50xW does?
The Detex V50xW is ordered with an electrified option of none, EB electric alarm with battery, EA hardwired electric alarm, or EE delayed egress, all within the same device family. The comparable vertical rod devices from Von Duprin, Delaney, Marks USA, Imperial USA and Cal-Royal are mechanical panic devices in the specifications carried for them. If the opening needs local alarm or delayed egress on the exit device itself, the V50xW covers it in one configured part rather than an added component.
14) What is the difference between cylinder dogging and hex dogging on a Detex V50xW?
Both hold the pushbar down so the door stays push-pull during business hours, using a 1/8 turn dogging mechanism. Hex dogging is operated with an Allen wrench, which is fine where only staff have access to the wrench. Cylinder dogging takes a key, so dogging is controlled by whoever carries the key, which is what most schools and multi-tenant buildings want. Less Dogging deletes the feature entirely and is what you order for a fire rated opening.
15) What finishes does the Detex V50xW come in, and will it match dark bronze or black storefront?
Two finishes: 628 brushed aluminum and 711 black aluminum. On a clear anodized storefront the 628 matches; on dark or black anodized frames the 711 is the one to order. There's no bronze option, so on a dark bronze frame the 711 black is the closest of the two.
16) How does the Detex V50xW compare to a Von Duprin 8827 or the Delaney 9100 vertical rod device?
All three are Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices, but they're aimed at different doors. The V50xW is narrow stile and weatherized for exterior and harsh environments. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is wide stile and specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, so it suits hollow metal and wood. The Delaney 9100 Series is a Grade 1 device sized for a 36 by 84 inch door in stainless finish, with the F9100 Series as the fire rated version. If you need fire rating on a narrow stile exterior pair, the V50xW ordered with the F rating is the one that covers all three requirements at once.
17) How much door prep does installing a Detex V50xW take on an existing aluminum door?
Minimal, and it doesn't rely on a paper template. Detex uses a patented mounting plate and strike locator to mark the holes on both the door and the frame, so top and bottom strikes land where the bolts actually throw. Door prep templates, installation instructions and a parts list are published for the V50 series if you want to confirm hole locations before the door is on site.
18) Will a Detex V50xW hold up in a high traffic entrance where doors get kicked and slammed?
It's built for that duty. Grade 1, heavy duty, with stainless steel latch and drop bolt hardware. The rail is a ribbed aluminum extrusion with impact resistant ABS and anodized surfaces, and the end cap is angled so a cart or a shoulder deflects off it rather than tearing the end of the device open. That angled end cap is the part that usually fails first on square-ended devices in a busy entrance.
19) What Grade 1 vertical rod device covers a 36 by 84 inch door if the Detex V50xW configuration is more than the opening needs?
The Detex V50xW is configured across device sizes of 36 and 48 inches with door heights of 84, 96 and 120 inches, plus dogging, finish and trim choices. For a plain 36 inch by 84 inch opening, the Delaney 9100 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device sized for that door in a stainless steel finish, and the Delaney 8100 Series is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for the same 36 by 84 door. Neither Delaney device is fire rated, so a labeled opening still needs the fire rated route.
20) For a pair of 48 inch exterior doors, which vertical rod exit devices are options besides the Detex V50xW?
The Detex V50xW is built for double doors without a mullion and is offered in a 48 inch device size, with weatherized construction for exterior use. On the 48 inch width the Marks USA M9900VR-48X84 is a 48 by 84 inch vertical rod panic device, exit only, and the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR is the fire rated 48 by 84 inch version. Those Marks devices are exit only, while the V50xW accepts outside trim such as storeroom or classroom lever if outside access is wanted on the active leaf.
21) Which vertical rod exit device holds a Grade 1 rating if the Detex V50xW does not suit the opening?
Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices comparable to the Detex V50xW include the Von Duprin 8827-3FT in the 88 Series, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 in the ED-500 Series, the Delaney 9100 Series and the Delaney 8100 Series for a 36 by 84 door, and the Delaney F9100 Series where a fire rated Grade 1 device is required. Of that group only the F9100 Series is fire rated, and the Detex V50xW is the weatherized one.
22) If I'm standardizing exit hardware across several buildings, can I keep one Detex V50xW spec and vary it per opening?
You can. The V50xW keeps one device platform across width (36 and 48 inch), door height (84, 96 and 120 inch rods), handing, standard or fire rated, dogging type, two finishes, and outside trim from blank plate through night latch pull to classroom and storeroom levers. That means one series, one set of spare parts and one install procedure across a portfolio, with the per-opening differences handled as options rather than as a different product.
