Kawneer KW033448 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which exit devices does the Kawneer KW033448 upper rod assembly fit?
The KW033448 upper rod assembly is built for Falcon 1690 and 1990 Series vertical rod exit devices. It is a Kawneer service part sized for 7-foot Insul Clad doors, so it drops in on those openings without field modification. If your device is a different Falcon series or the door is not 7 feet, this is not the right rod.
2) Will the KW033448 rod work on an 8-foot door?
No. The rod length and geometry on the KW033448 are sized for 7-foot door height, which is what sets correct top latch engagement. A taller opening needs the rod assembly cut for that height, not this one.
3) Is the KW033448 the upper rod or the lower rod for a Falcon vertical rod device?
It's the upper rod assembly, the one that runs to the top latch at the head of the frame. A worn or bent lower rod running to the threshold is a separate part and this will not cover it.
4) Do I need to cut or modify this rod during install?
No cutting or field modification is called for. The KW033448 is supplied as a direct-fit service replacement for the Falcon 1690 and 1990 Series on 7-foot Insul Clad doors, so it goes in as a drop-in swap during servicing.
5) Why does the Insul Clad door callout matter on this Kawneer rod assembly?
Insul Clad construction has its own stile profile, and the KW033448 is configured for that door type. A rod assembly built for a different door construction can sit wrong in the stile even when the device series matches, so match the door construction as well as the exit device series.
6) Is the KW033448 a genuine Kawneer part or aftermarket?
It's a genuine Kawneer service part, model KW033448, made to original equipment specs for Falcon 1690 and 1990 Series devices. For a facility standardizing on OEM service parts across a portfolio of openings, that's the point of specifying it by this number.
7) Is this rod assembly suitable for a commercial building or is it residential hardware?
Strictly commercial. The KW033448 is a service component for commercial vertical rod exit hardware, the kind found on office, school, healthcare, retail, and municipal egress doors running Falcon 1690 or 1990 Series devices.
