Ives 7226 SET US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) My door is too heavy for hinges. How much weight will the Ives 7226 pivot set carry?
Up to 600 pounds. The 7226 is a heavy duty top and bottom pivot set, so the door is carried at the header and at the floor and the weight runs down through the floor and the building structure rather than hanging off the jamb. That is the reason to pivot a heavy leaf instead of hinging it: hinges put the whole load into the frame, a pivot set does not.
2) Does the Ives 7226 come as a complete top and bottom pivot, or are the pieces sold separately?
Both. Ordering SET gets the top header mount and the bottom base together, which is what a newly hung door needs. TOP and BTM are also sold on their own, which is what you want when one worn pivot is being swapped on a door that is already hanging and the other end is fine. Intermediate pivots are ordered as their own items on top of that.
3) Is the Ives 7226 pivot handed, or does one part cover left and right hand doors?
The top and bottom pivots are non-handed, so the same SET, TOP or BTM part goes on a left hand or right hand door with no modification and there is nothing to specify. Handing only enters the picture on the intermediate pivot, which is ordered specifically as INT LH or INT RH, and the same is true of the power transfer intermediates. Get the hand right on the intermediate and the rest of the set follows the door either way.
4) Can the Ives 7226 pivot set be used on a fire rated door?
Yes, on a 20 minute opening. The 7226 is UL 10C tested and approved for a 20 minute fire rating and is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 under C07162. Twenty minutes is where that rating stops, so if the schedule calls for a 45, 60 or 90 minute door, specify hardware carrying that rating instead.
5) Can I use a Dormakaba 15220 intermediate pivot in place of the Ives 7226 intermediate?
Not in the same opening. The Dormakaba 15220 is a 1-1/2 inch offset brass right hand intermediate pivot; the 7226 runs 3/4 inch offset. Offset is the dimension the door and frame are prepped and cut for, so a 1-1/2 inch offset part will not drop into a 3/4 inch offset prep. Matching an existing 3/4 inch offset opening means the 7226 INT LH or INT RH, or the Dorma 75220, which is also a 3/4 inch offset hung full mortise intermediate.
6) Can a 1-1/2 inch offset pivot be used in place of an Ives 7226 pivot?
No. The Dormakaba 15220 is a 1-1/2" offset brass right hand intermediate pivot in satin chrome, while the Ives 7226 works to 3/4" offset. The offset dimension sets how far the door leaf stands off the frame and where the pivot point falls, so the two use different door and frame prep and are not interchangeable in an existing opening. Handing also differs in how each is ordered: the 15220 is a right hand part, whereas the 7226 intermediate pivots are specified as INT LH or INT RH and the top and bottom components of the 7226 are non-handed. Both are brass and both carry a heavy duty classification and a fire rating, so the deciding factor is the offset the opening was prepped for.
7) What pivot should be used on an aluminum storefront door rather than the Ives 7226?
The Ives 7226 is a commercial heavy duty brass offset pivot set recommended for doors of 1-3/4" minimum thickness and up to 600 lbs. For aluminum doors and frames, Kaba Ilco builds intermediate pivots specifically for that construction: the IP-10 Series intermediate pivot hinges for aluminum doors and frames, the IP-12 Series intermediate pivots for aluminum doors and frames in a non-handed form, and the IP-22 Series intermediate pivots for aluminum doors and frames. All three Kaba Ilco series are classed standard duty. Kaba Ilco also lists the IL-OP-10 Series, a 1/8" recessed Arch and Vistawall pivot set, standard duty, for those specific aluminum door systems. The 7226 set carries a UL 10C 20-minute fire rating, while the IP-10, IP-12, IP-22, and IL-OP-10 series carry a fire rating of No, which matters if the storefront opening is in a rated wall.
8) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Ives 7226 offset pivot set?
The Ives 7226 is a 3/4" offset pivot set with a top header mount and a bottom base mount, non-handed, heavy duty, and rated for doors up to 600 lbs. Working to the same 3/4" offset geometry, Dormakaba offers the 75120, a 3/4" offset hung full mortise standard top pivot, and the 75220, a 3/4" offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot. Both Dormakaba parts carry a fire rating, as does the 7226, which is UL 10C tested for a 20-minute rating. The 75120 is classed standard duty and the 75220 heavy duty, while the 7226 set is heavy duty across the top and bottom components. Because all three are built to a 3/4" offset, the door and frame prep dimension is the common point to confirm against the drawing before ordering.
9) Is the Hager 253 reinforcing pivot a substitute for an Ives 7226 pivot set?
They do different jobs. The Hager 253 is a full surface reinforcing pivot for 4-1/2" wide hinges in a zinc plated finish, listed for 1-3/4" door thickness and classed heavy duty with a fire rating of No. It reinforces a door already hung on hinges. The Ives 7226 is the hanging hardware itself, a top and bottom pivot set with a top header mount and a bottom base mount that carries the full door weight up to 600 lbs, non-handed, and UL 10C rated for 20 minutes. A door hung on the 7226 has no hinges for a reinforcing pivot to reinforce, so the two are specified for different openings rather than one replacing the other.
10) Which offset pivots carry a fire rating for a rated opening?
The Ives 7226 is UL 10C tested and approved for a 20-minute fire rating and is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07162. Among comparable pivots, the Dormakaba 75120 3/4" offset hung full mortise standard top pivot, the Dormakaba 75220 3/4" offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot, the Dormakaba 15220 1-1/2" offset intermediate pivot, and the Dorma 7471K side load floor pivot set all carry a fire rating of Yes. The Hager 253 full surface reinforcing pivot, the Hager 497 heavy-duty bottom pivot hinge, and the Kaba Ilco IP-10, IP-12, IP-22, and IL-OP-10 series all carry a fire rating of No. For a rated wall, that split is the first filter before offset dimension or duty level.
11) When do I need an intermediate pivot with an Ives 7226 offset pivot set, and how is it ordered?
An intermediate pivot shares the door's weight between the top and bottom pivot, which is what a tall or very heavy leaf needs so the whole load is not resting on two points. On a door working up toward the 600 pound ceiling, plan on one. It is ordered separately and by hand, INT LH or INT RH, and the same intermediate covers the 7215, 7226 and 7227 pivots.
12) How do I run power through the door for an electric lock on an Ives 7226 pivot installation?
Through a power transfer intermediate pivot rather than a plain one. Four are offered: PT TW4 INT LH, PT TW4 INT RH, PT TW8 INT LH and PT TW8 INT RH. TW4 and TW8 are the wire counts, so pick based on how many conductors the electrified lock or exit device needs, then pick the hand of the door. The transfer happens at the pivot itself, so no separate door loop is hanging on the hinge edge.
13) How do you adjust door height after hanging it on Ives 7226 pivots?
There is 3/16 inch of vertical adjustment built into the 7226 with a positive locking mechanism, so the door can be raised or dropped to even out head and threshold clearance and then locked at that setting. It is adjusted at the pivot rather than by shimming the plate, and it is also how the load gets balanced between top and bottom on a heavy leaf.
14) What is the difference between an offset hung pivot like the Ives 7226 and a center hung pivot?
Offset hung sets the pivot point out from the door face, 3/4 inch on the 7226, and the door swings one direction. Center hung puts the pivot on the door's centerline, which is what a double acting door needs to swing both ways. The two take completely different door and frame prep, so the choice is usually already made by what is cut into the opening. If the existing prep is 3/4 inch offset hung, the 7226 set is the match for it.
15) I need a heavy duty bottom pivot on a fire rated opening. Which ones qualify?
The Ives 7226 BTM base is the straight answer: heavy duty, brass, part of a set rated to 600 pounds and UL 10C tested for 20 minutes. The Dorma 7471K side load floor pivot set is also heavy duty and fire rated. Worth knowing what to rule out: the Hager 497 heavy duty forged bronze full mortise bottom pivot with ball bearing is not fire rated, so it is a good bottom pivot for an unrated opening only.
16) What is the alternative for a heavy wood door where an offset hung pivot set is not the right approach?
The Ives 7226 hangs the door offset from the frame, with a top header mount and a bottom base mount, and is rated for doors up to 600 lbs at 1-3/4" minimum thickness. Where the door is wood and the preference is a floor pivot rather than offset hung hardware, the Dorma 7471K is a side load floor pivot set recommended for wood doors or any door weighing in excess of 200 pounds. It is classed heavy duty and fire rated. The two use different hanging methods, so the choice follows the prep: the 7226 needs header and base plate prep for offset mounting, while the 7471K is a side load floor pivot set.
17) If only the bottom pivot needs replacing, how does the Hager 497 compare to an Ives 7226 bottom?
The Hager 497 is a heavy-duty bottom pivot hinge with a ball bearing, forged bronze in a full mortise configuration, classed heavy duty with a fire rating of No. The Ives 7226 can be ordered as a bottom component on its own, the BTM bottom base, without taking the full SET, and the 7226 carries a UL 10C 20-minute fire rating and ANSI/BHMA A156.4 C07162 certification. For a rated opening, that rating difference decides it. For a non-rated opening, the deciding points are the mounting geometry the floor is already prepped for, since the 7226 bottom is a 3/4" offset base mount and the 497 is a full mortise bottom pivot, and the finish family, since the 497 is forged bronze while the 7226 bottom is brass.
18) Which offset pivot can be matched to a satin chrome opening across a building?
The Ives 7226 is produced in 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 643E aged bronze, 689 aluminum painted, 691 bronze painted, 695 dark bronze, and 706 brass painted, so a satin chrome opening is matched with the 626 finish and the same part standardizes across mixed-finish buildings. Comparable pivots are narrower in that respect: the Dormakaba 15220 1-1/2" offset intermediate pivot and the Dorma 7471K side load floor pivot set are both catalogued in satin chrome. For a facility standardizing one pivot across doors in several finishes, the 7226 covers the finish range from a single model number.
19) What intermediate pivot works with an existing Ives 7215 or 7227 offset installation?
The Ives 7226 intermediate pivots, INT LH and INT RH, are built for the 7215, 7226, and 7227 offset series, so a tall or heavy door already hung on any of those three takes the same intermediate. Cross-brand intermediates are prepped to their own offset dimension: the Dormakaba 75220 is a 3/4" offset hung full mortise intermediate pivot, heavy duty and fire rated, which matches the 3/4" offset the 7226 works to, while the Dormakaba 15220 is a 1-1/2" offset brass right hand intermediate pivot and follows a different prep. For an aluminum door, the Kaba Ilco IP-10, IP-12, and IP-22 series are the intermediates made for aluminum doors and frames, all classed standard duty.
20) What finishes does the Ives 7226 pivot come in for matching hardware across a building?
Thirteen finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 643E aged bronze, 689 aluminum painted, 691 bronze painted, 695 dark bronze and 706 brass painted. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so read the code off the levers or closers already on the openings and order the pivot in the same number.
