Falcon 4270100018 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Falcon 4270100018 SU rod actually used for?
It's a bare 8 foot extension rod for Falcon exit devices, not a complete device. On a vertical rod exit device the rod is what carries the motion from the pushbar up to the top latch or down to the bottom latch. The 8 foot length is stock for tall door openings where the standard rod supplied with the device is too short to reach the head. You order it as a component and fit it to an existing Falcon device.
2) I have an 8 foot door with a Falcon vertical rod exit device. Will this rod let me use the standard device?
That's what it's for. Falcon exit devices are supplied for a standard door height and the 8 foot rod is the component that extends the reach to a taller opening. Confirm the rod part number against the specific Falcon series on your door before you cut or order, since rod components are matched to the device family they were built for.
3) Will a Falcon extension rod work on a Von Duprin or Precision exit device?
No. Rods are matched to the device family that drives them, and this one is a Falcon component. Fitting it to another manufacturer's device means the rod ends, connection, and travel won't match the mechanism. If the device on the door is another brand, get the rod from that brand's parts list.
4) Does the Falcon 4270100018 rod come with the exit device, or do I have to buy it separately?
Separate. The 4270100018 is an installation accessory ordered on its own, in one size only, 8 feet. Nothing else is included with it, no device, no latches, no trim. If you're building a tall opening you order the exit device to suit the door and add this rod for the extra height.
5) Can I cut a Falcon 8 ft exit device rod down to fit a shorter door?
Cutting to length is normal practice on vertical rod devices, which is why an oversize rod is stocked at all. The 8 foot length gives you material to trim down to the opening. Follow the Falcon device's own installation instructions for where the rod is cut and how the end is refitted, since the cut end has to still engage the mechanism correctly.
6) Is the Falcon 4270100018 a top rod or a bottom rod?
It's sold as an extension rod component in a single 8 foot size, without a top or bottom designation attached to it. On a surface vertical rod device the rod that matters for a tall opening is the top one, since that's the run that grows with door height, while the bottom rod length is fixed by the pushbar height above the threshold. Check the rod callout in the Falcon exit device documentation for your series to confirm which position the part is called out for.
7) Where can I get the Falcon rod dimensions and the device series it belongs to?
Falcon publishes the exit device catalog covering the series and their rod components, and ZenSupply hosts it with the part: https://zensupply.com/content/pdf/falcon/Falcon_Exit_Devices_Catalog_116520.pdf. Match your device series in there before ordering the rod, the catalog is the authority on which components go with which device.
