Hager 8228-00H/00 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Hager 8228 push plate work with my existing automatic door operator?
The 8228 is a hardwired actuator switch, so it needs to be wired into the operator's activation input. Every model in the range (6 inch round 8228-00H, 4.5 inch round 8228-01H, 4.5 inch square 8228-02H, and the narrow 8228-04W) is the hardwired configuration, not wireless. Before you order, confirm your operator accepts a dry hardwired activation input and that you can run cable from the plate location back to the operator. There is no transmitter or receiver in the box.
2) What size push plates does the Hager 8228 come in, and which one should I use on a narrow mullion?
Four shapes: 6 inch round (8228-00), 4.5 inch round (8228-01), 4.5 inch square (8228-02), and a narrow plate (8228-04W). Use the narrow plate where you are mounting on a jamb, mullion, or storefront stile that will not take a 4.5 inch face. The 6 inch round is the one to pick for high-traffic public entrances where you want the largest target for someone approaching with a cart or a wheelchair.
3) What electrical box do I need to rough in for a Hager 8228 actuator plate?
The 8228 mounts to a standard single or double gang electrical box, and surface mount options are available where you cannot cut into the wall. On a glass storefront or a masonry entry where recessing is not practical, plan on the surface mount configuration. Leave enough depth behind the plate for the wiring and for future service access.
4) Does the Hager 8228 push plate meet ADA requirements for an accessible entrance?
Yes. The 8228 meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for accessibility. It also uses an all-active plate, meaning any part of the face triggers the switch rather than a small button in the center, so it operates with an elbow, a forearm, a closed fist, or a wheelchair footrest. That is the practical part of accessible operation that a center-button plate does not give you.
5) Can a Hager 8228 push plate be mounted outside?
Yes, the 8228 is built for indoor and outdoor use, with a stainless steel or brass faceplate and weather-resistant construction. For an exterior bollard or wall post, that faceplate is what keeps the plate serviceable through weather; still pick a box and back-box detail that keeps water out of the wiring behind it.
6) Do I need two Hager 8228 push plates for one automatic door?
Most accessible entrances take two: one on the approach side outside and one inside. Each plate is a separate hardwired switch wired back to the operator's activation input, so budget one 8228 per side, plus the cable run for each. On a vestibule with an inner and outer door, that count doubles again. You can mix shapes across locations, for example a 6 inch round outside and a narrow plate on an interior mullion, since all four models are the same hardwired switch behind different faceplates.
7) Hager 8228 vs a wave-to-open touchless sensor: which should I specify for a healthcare entrance?
The 8228 is a contact plate, the user presses it. That is the right choice where you want a positive, deliberate activation that will not false-trigger from someone walking past, and it is the lower-cost, simpler wiring path since it is a straightforward hardwired switch to the operator. A touchless sensor is what you want where infection control drives the spec and nobody should touch the surface. Many healthcare projects run both: touchless at patient-facing doors, 8228 plates at staff and service entries.
8) Is the Hager 8228 a replacement for an existing round push plate actuator on a gang box?
In most cases yes, because the 8228 mounts to a standard single or double gang electrical box, which is the same rough-in nearly every actuator plate uses. Match the shape and size you are pulling off the wall: 6 inch round to 8228-00, 4.5 inch round to 8228-01, 4.5 inch square to 8228-02. Going from a 6 inch round down to a 4.5 inch plate can leave an unpainted or unfinished ring on the wall where the old plate sat.
