Norton Rixson 340 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Rixson 340 top pivot hold a heavy commercial door?
The 340 center hung top pivot is rated for doors up to 500 lbs, with an oil-impregnated sintered bronze bushing carrying the load. It is classified as heavy-duty in application but standard duty in performance level, so it suits normal commercial traffic on a heavy leaf rather than abusive high-frequency openings.
2) Do I need to specify left or right hand when ordering a Rixson 340 pivot?
No handing to specify. The 340 top pivot is non-handed, so one part covers left and right hand openings. That is why property managers standardizing across a building can stock a single item instead of two.
3) Which Rixson floor closers and pivot sets does the 340 top pivot work with?
The 340 is the standard top pivot for the 370 and 117-3/4 pivot sets, and it pairs with Rixson 28, 30, 40 and 50 Series floor closers. If you are replacing a bottom-mounted closer on a center hung door, the 340 is the mate at the head.
4) What size pivot pin does the Rixson 340 use and how deep does it engage?
The pin is 1/2 inch (13mm) diameter with 3/4 inch (19mm) engagement, on a walking beam type pivot. Those two numbers decide your top prep: the frame or header side needs to accept a 1/2 inch pin and the door top rail has to give you a full 3/4 inch of pin engagement, so check rail depth on hollow metal and aluminum leaves before drilling.
5) Can I use a Rixson 340 center hung pivot on a fire rated door?
No. The 340 top pivot carries no fire rating, so it should not be specified on a labeled opening. For a rated door, use a pivot assembly listed for fire door service.
6) Can I get a Rixson 340 pivot with a longer pin for an oversized frame condition?
Yes. Longer pivot pins are offered in 1/4 inch (6mm), 1/2 inch (13mm) and 3/4 inch (19mm) increments over the standard length, which covers deep header conditions or an added ceiling or soffit build-out. Specify the increment you need at time of order.
7) Center hung pivot or offset pivot: which should I use on a commercial door?
The 340 is center hung, meaning the door turns on an axis set within the door thickness rather than on a pivot offset toward the hinge jamb. Center hung is what you want when the door has to swing both ways or when you want the hardware out of sight, since the pivot is fully concealed with the door closed. Offset hung is the better pick when the door must clear a frame stop and swing one way only, or where you need the leaf to open clear of the opening for traffic. The 340 also has to be paired with a matching center hung bottom pivot or floor closer, not an offset one.
8) Does the Rixson 340 top pivot come with mounting screws?
Both wood and machine screws are furnished with the pivot, so it can go into a wood or a metal frame without a separate fastener order. What is not included is the bottom half of the assembly, the 340 is the top pivot only and needs a matching center hung bottom pivot or floor closer to complete the opening.
9) What finishes does the Norton Rixson 340 top pivot come in?
Ten BHMA finishes cover the 340: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. Since a center hung top pivot is concealed with the door shut, finish here is mostly about matching the visible edge when the door stands open, so 626 and 625 cover most commercial jobs.
10) Is the Rixson 340 pivot an electrified or power transfer part?
No, the 340 is purely mechanical. There is no electrified version and no power transfer through the pivot, so if you need to run current to an electric lock or exit device on a center hung door, plan on a separate electric power transfer or a raceway detail.
11) How much maintenance does a Rixson 340 pivot need in a high traffic entrance?
The bushing is oil-impregnated sintered bronze, which is self-lubricating, so there is no scheduled greasing and it resists wear under repeated cycling. In a school or retail entry that means the top pivot is not usually the part on the PM schedule, the floor closer below it is.
