Kawneer KW033449 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kawneer KW033449 upper rod assembly work with my Falcon exit device?
The KW033449 upper rod assembly is made for Falcon 1690 and 1990 Series vertical rod exit devices only. On those two series it drops in without modification. If your device is another Falcon series or another brand, this rod is not the part.
2) What door height does the KW033449 rod assembly cover?
It is sized for openings from 7 ft up to 8 ft tall. Rod length on a vertical rod device has to match door height for the top latch to engage the head strike, so on a door under 7 ft or over 8 ft you need the rod assembly built for that height instead.
3) Does this Kawneer rod fit an Insul Clad door specifically, or any aluminum door?
The KW033449 is built for Insul Clad door construction, which has its own profile requirements. It is not a general-purpose rod for any aluminum or hollow metal door with a Falcon 1690/1990 on it.
4) Is the KW033449 an upper rod only, or does it include the bottom rod too?
Upper rod only. It is the complete upper rod assembly that drives the top latch. If the bottom rod or bottom latch is also worn, that is a separate part.
5) Is this a genuine Kawneer part or an aftermarket rod?
It is an authorized Kawneer service part, listed under Kawneer Service Parts, built to OEM specification for the Falcon 1690/1990 device. That matters on a maintained exit device where a non-OEM rod can throw off latch timing.
6) Do I need to modify the door or device to install this Kawneer upper rod?
No modification. On a Falcon 1690 or 1990 on a 7 ft to 8 ft Insul Clad door, the KW033449 is a direct-fit replacement using the existing prep, so it is a swap rather than a re-prep.
7) Is the KW033449 rod assembly suitable for a high traffic commercial entrance?
Yes. It is a commercial-grade replacement rod, intended for high-traffic exit device service in offices, schools, healthcare, retail and municipal buildings rather than residential use.
8) How is the KW033449 ordered, by the piece or as a set?
It is ordered as a single item, one upper rod assembly per unit, under model KW033449. Order one per leaf you are servicing.
