Falcon 4288 SP28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Falcon 4288 SP28 and which exit devices does it fit?
The 4288 SP28 is a surface vertical bottom rod, the lower rod that runs down the door face and drives the bottom latch on a Falcon 19 Series surface vertical rod exit device. It is sold as a replacement component for that series, so you can rebuild an existing assembly rather than replace the whole device. The SP28 suffix is the Aluminum Painted finish.
2) Will a Falcon 4288 bottom rod work on a rim or mortise exit device?
No. This rod only belongs on a surface vertical rod device, where latching happens at the top and bottom of the door. Rim devices latch into a strike on the frame at the lock edge and mortise devices latch into the jamb, so neither uses vertical rods at all. If your Falcon device has exposed rods running up and down the door face and it is a 19 Series, the 4288 is the bottom rod for it.
3) Do I have to replace the whole exit device if the bottom rod is bent or missing?
Not on a Falcon 19 Series. The 4288 bottom rod installs into the existing vertical rod assembly, so a bent, seized or missing bottom rod is a component swap and the chassis, top rod and trim stay in place. That is the point of the part.
4) What does SP28 mean on a Falcon part number?
SP28 is Falcon's Aluminum Painted finish. On the 4288 rod it gives the clean silver-grey look that matches standard 19 Series hardware, so a replaced bottom rod does not stand out against the rest of the device on the door.
5) Is the 4288 a top rod or a bottom rod, and will one part cover both ends of the door?
Bottom rod only. On a surface vertical rod device the top and bottom rods are different parts, so ordering the 4288 gets you the lower rod that throws the bottom latch toward the threshold. If the top latch is also damaged you need the corresponding 19 Series top rod as a separate item.
6) Does replacing the bottom rod affect egress compliance on a fire exit door?
A surface vertical rod device depends on both latch points working, and the bottom rod is what drives the lower one. Putting the correct 19 Series bottom rod back in restores the device to the latching and egress performance it was installed with; running the door with a missing or bent bottom rod does not. Use the Falcon part rather than a cut-down substitute so the throw and travel match the chassis.
7) I manage a building with 19 Series devices on the exterior pairs. Is this rod suitable for high-traffic doors?
It is a commercial-grade part, specified for commercial rather than residential use, and Falcon builds these rods for daily cycling in high-use openings. Typical placements are office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential and government facilities, which is the same traffic profile a 19 Series device is put in to begin with.
