Kawneer KW033469 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the KW033469 rod assembly a direct replacement, or does it need modification to install?
It goes in as a direct fit. The KW033469 is a Kawneer service part built to the original specifications for Falcon 1690 and 1990 Series vertical rod devices, so no cutting or modification of the existing hardware is required when the door falls in the 9 to 10 foot range.
2) Will the KW033469 fit a Falcon 24 or 25 Series exit device?
No. This upper rod assembly is made for the Falcon 1690 and 1990 Series vertical rod devices only. Rod assemblies are not interchangeable across Falcon device families, so match the part to the series stamped on your device chassis.
3) What part of a vertical rod exit device does an upper rod assembly actually replace?
The upper rod is the linkage that runs from the exit device push rail up to the top latch at the head of the frame. When it bends, binds, or falls out of adjustment the door stops latching at the top. The KW033469 restores that upper rod function on Falcon 1690 and 1990 installations without replacing the whole device.
4) Does the KW033469 include the bottom rod as well?
No. This is the upper rod assembly only. If the bottom latch on your Falcon 1690 or 1990 device is also out of service, order the lower rod assembly for the same 9 to 10 foot door height separately.
5) I manage a building with several tall Falcon exit devices. Can I standardize on one rod part number?
Only for openings in the same height band. The KW033469 covers Falcon 1690 and 1990 vertical rod devices on 9 to 10 foot doors, so any of your tall openings in that range take the same upper rod. Standard height openings in the same building will take a different rod length, so measure door height before you stock a single number across the property.
6) Is this Kawneer rod assembly rated for commercial traffic, or is it a residential part?
Strictly commercial. The KW033469 is catalogued as a commercial part and is built for high-traffic egress openings, the kind found in schools, hospitals, retail entries, and municipal buildings running Falcon exit hardware.
