Detex 106675-2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I put a delayed egress exit device on an outdoor gate?
That is exactly what the Detex WDEx10EEX Weatherized Easy Kit is built for. It is a fully weatherized delayed egress package for outdoor gates and exit points, where moisture and temperature extremes would kill standard exit hardware. The kit ships pre-configured and pre-wired under one part number, and it includes a 10-foot armored flex conduit loop so the wiring run is protected outdoors. Standard indoor panic hardware on a perimeter gate will not survive the same exposure.
2) Does the Detex WDEx10EEX delayed egress kit need a maglock?
No maglock, no separate power supply for one, no armature plate. The panic hardware itself provides the delayed exit function on the WDEx10EEX, so the delay lives in the device rather than in an electromagnetic lock above the opening. For a gate or outdoor exit where mounting and weatherproofing a maglock and header bracket is a job in itself, that removes most of the install.
3) How long is the delay on the Detex WDEx10EEX before the gate releases?
Fifteen seconds, with a 100dB alarm sounding during the delay, and the duration is field adjustable at install. Delayed egress is a code-governed function, so set the delay to what your local authority having jurisdiction permits for the occupancy, not just to what deters theft.
4) What is the difference between the two Detex WDEx10EEX weatherized kit versions?
The only ordering choice is how many metal egress signs come in the box: one sign or two. Delayed egress requires posted signage at the opening, so a single leaf takes the one-sign kit and a pair of gates, or an opening that has to be signed on both faces, takes the two-sign kit. The hardware and the 15-second delayed egress function are the same either way.
5) Will a delayed egress gate device still let people out in a fire?
The WDEx10EEX has a fire alarm override connection integrated at the controller level, so a fire alarm signal drops the delay and the opening releases. That wiring is not optional on a delayed egress opening; it gets landed per the manufacturer wiring diagram and per local fire code at the time of install, along with the egress signage included in the kit.
6) Do I need a delayed egress device or just a plain vertical rod panic device?
Two different jobs. A plain surface vertical rod device like the Marks USA M9900VR or the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is exit only: push the bar, the door opens immediately, no alarm and no hold. The Detex WDEx10EEX holds the opening for 15 seconds with a 100dB alarm before releasing, which is what you want when the concern is people walking merchandise out a back gate, a memory care resident leaving a courtyard, or crowd control at a stadium exit. If nobody needs to be delayed or announced, buy the simpler device.
7) What is the closest standard vertical rod exit device to the Detex WDEx10EEX for an interior door that does not need delayed egress?
The WDEx10EEX is a weatherized delayed egress kit built around a 15-second field-adjustable delay and a 100dB alarm, so on an ordinary interior door most of what you are paying for goes unused. For a plain surface vertical rod device, the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for a 3 ft door on 1-3/4 inch thickness. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is another Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in a 36 inch width, exit only. Both latch top and bottom the same way; neither carries a delay, an alarm, or the weatherized housing and 10-foot armored flex conduit that the Detex kit includes.
8) The WDEx10EEX is going on a fire rated door opening. What vertical rod device should be used instead?
Delayed egress hardware and fire rated openings are a specific combination that has to be specified as such. For a fire rated vertical rod opening, the Delaney F9100 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door in an aluminum finish, and the Marks USA M9900FVR is a fire rated vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door, exit only and non-handed. For a 48 inch fire rated leaf, the Marks USA M9900F-VR covers 48 x 84, fire rated and exit only. The Detex kit's own role is outdoor gates and exit points where weather would compromise standard exit hardware.
9) Does a standard surface vertical rod panic device with an exit alarm do the same job as the Detex WDEx10EEX?
No. An alarmed exit device sounds when the door is used; the WDEx10EEX holds the door for a field-adjustable 15-second delay with a 100dB alarm and a fire alarm override wired at the controller, and the panic hardware itself provides the delayed exit function with no electromagnetic lock. Devices such as the Marks USA M9900VR, a 36 x 84 exit only non-handed vertical rod panic device, or the Cal-Royal 9860 heavy duty surface vertical rod device, release the moment the pushbar is pressed. If the requirement is to slow an unauthorized exit rather than annunciate it, the substitution does not hold.
10) Is the Detex WDEx10EEX fire rated?
If the opening is a fire door assembly, this is not the device to spec. For a rated opening, ZenSupply carries fire rated surface vertical rod devices including the Marks USA M9900FVR at 36 x 84 inches, the Marks USA M9900F-VR at 48 x 84 inches, and the Delaney F9100 Series, all listed fire rated. The WDEx10EEX is a weatherized delayed egress kit for exterior gates and perimeter exits, which is a different application from a rated interior door.
11) What comes in the Detex weatherized delayed egress kit, and what do I still have to buy?
The kit arrives factory programmed and pre-wired under a single part number with the panic hardware, controller, the 10-foot armored flex conduit loop, the heavy-duty angled end cap for impact protection, and the metal egress sign or signs. What it does not include is fasteners suited to your gate: you mount with hardware appropriate to the material, whether that is wood, metal, or composite. Outdoor-rated wiring connections and sealant for the penetrations are also on you.
12) Can I use this on a childcare playground gate or a memory care courtyard exit?
Those are named applications for the WDEx10EEX. Outdoor childcare facilities and playgrounds, assisted living exits and memory care courtyards, garden centers, stadiums and amusement parks, retail delivery exits, and fenced inventory areas all use the same combination: a weatherized exterior gate that has to stay usable for egress but announce and hold anyone leaving for 15 seconds. On a licensed care facility, get the delay setting and the fire alarm interface signed off by your AHJ before final inspection.
13) Is the Detex WDEx10EEX a rim device or a vertical rod device?
Vertical rod. It latches at the top and bottom of the leaf rather than into the frame edge, which is how it works on a gate leaf that has no strike jamb to catch a rim latch. If your opening is a standard interior door in a frame and you want a straight exit only device instead, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 and the Delaney 8100 Series are Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices sized for a 36 inch door.
14) Is there a cheaper ADA compliant vertical rod device if I do not need the alarm?
The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod exit device with ADA compliance, exit only and not fire rated. It gives you push bar egress on the opening without the delayed egress controller, alarm, or weatherized package. Where the Detex kit earns its keep is exterior exposure and the 15-second hold with the 100dB alarm; if the opening is interior and nobody needs to be delayed, the Cal-Royal covers it.
15) What vertical rod exit device fits a 48 inch wide leaf if the Detex WDEx10EEX does not suit the opening?
For a 48 inch leaf, the Marks USA M9900VR is offered in a 48 x 84 vertical rod panic exit device, exit only, and the Marks USA M9900F-VR covers 48 x 84 as a fire rated exit only device. The Detex WDEx10EEX is ordered as a complete pre-configured kit under a single part number and differs by the egress signage supplied, one metal sign or two metal signs, rather than by leaf width.
16) Which vertical rod exit devices carry a Grade 1 rating for a facility standardizing on Grade 1 hardware?
Among vertical rod devices, the Delaney 9100 Series is Grade 1 heavy duty for a 36 x 84 door in stainless steel, the Delaney 8100 Series is Grade 1 for a 36 x 84 door, the Delaney F9100 Series is Grade 1 and fire rated, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is Grade 1 wide stile, and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is Grade 1 in the 88 Series. The Cal-Royal 9860 is Grade 2 heavy duty. All of these are dry-location devices; the Detex WDEx10EEX is the weatherized delayed egress option for outdoor gates and exit points.
17) Can a wide stile surface vertical rod device be substituted for the Detex WDEx10EEX on an outdoor gate?
Wide stile devices such as the Von Duprin 8827-3FT and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 are specified for wide stile doors and, in the case of the 8827-3FT, a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Neither is built for outdoor exposure. The WDEx10EEX uses fully weatherized components intended to withstand moisture and temperature extremes that would compromise standard exit hardware, plus a heavy-duty angled end cap for impact protection and a 10-foot armored flex conduit loop for the wiring. On a gate, that construction is the reason for the choice, not an extra.
18) Is a lower cost exit only vertical rod device enough for a fenced inventory area, or is the delayed egress kit needed?
It depends on whether the gate has to resist unauthorized use. Exit only devices such as the Cal-Royal 9860, the Marks USA M9900VR, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 free the opening as soon as the bar is pushed. The WDEx10EEX is aimed at retail delivery exits, fenced inventory areas, and perimeter gates requiring theft deterrence, and holds the door through a 15-second delay with a 100dB alarm before releasing. If the gate is purely an egress path with no loss concern, the exit only devices perform the latching function; if the point is deterrence, they do not.
19) Why does the Detex weatherized exit device have an angled end cap?
Impact protection. On an outdoor gate at a stadium, a garden center, or a delivery yard, the end of the push bar is what carts, pallet jacks, and shoulders hit. The heavy-duty angled end cap takes that abuse instead of the panic hardware. It is a detail that matters more on a high traffic exterior opening than on an interior door.
