Norton Rixson F180-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson F180 top pivot work on a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes. The F180 top pivot carries a 3 hour fire rating, so it belongs on fire door assemblies rated up to 3 hours. A 20 minute label version is also built, ordered with the -20 suffix. The base material is non-ferrous with an oil impregnated sintered bronze bushing.
2) What is the difference between the 3/4 inch offset and the 1-1/2 inch offset on a Rixson F180 pivot?
The offset is measured from the centerline of the pivot to the face of the door, and it sets how far the door swings clear of the frame. The F180 is built in both a 3/4 inch (19mm) offset and a 1-1/2 inch (38mm) offset. Match the offset to the floor closer and bottom pivot already in the opening, and to the offset the frame was prepped for. Mixing a 3/4 inch top with a 1-1/2 inch bottom will not hang the door straight.
3) Do I have to order a Rixson F180 top pivot left hand or right hand?
Yes, handing has to be specified. The F180 is a handed pivot and is ordered left hand or right hand. Stand outside the door, on the side the door swings away from: hinges on your left is left hand, hinges on your right is right hand. Ordering the wrong hand means the pivot will not line up with the door prep.
4) Is the Rixson F180 a full mortise pivot, and what prep does the door and frame need?
Full mortise, so both the door top and the frame soffit have to be routed to receive it rather than surface applied. It is an offset hung arrangement, meaning the pivot point sits out from the frame rather than on the door edge like a butt hinge. Use the manufacturer template to mark the mounting holes before cutting. Both wood and machine screws come in the box, so the same pivot covers a hollow metal frame or a wood one.
5) Can I use the Rixson F180 top pivot with my existing floor closer?
The F180 is a standard top pivot that works with most offset pivot sets and floor closers. The thing that decides it is offset: pick the F180 in the same offset as the floor closer and bottom pivot in the opening, either 3/4 inch or 1-1/2 inch. The top pivot carries no closing function itself, it just locates the top of the door, so the floor closer does the control.
6) My door is thicker than standard and the pivot pin does not reach. Is there a longer pin for the Rixson F180?
Yes. The F180 can be furnished with longer than standard pivot pins in 1/4 inch (6mm), 1/2 inch (13mm), and 3/4 inch (19mm) increments for conditions where the standard pin will not pick up the door. That is the fix for oversized door tops or unusual frame conditions, and it is specified at time of order rather than adjusted in the field.
7) Is the Rixson F180 pivot heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance door?
The F180 is rated standard duty. For a busy main entrance, a stairwell in constant use, or an oversized or heavy door, step up to a heavy duty offset pivot instead. Where it fits well is standard commercial doors on offset pivot sets, in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, and multi-tenant residential, where a fire rating is needed but the traffic is ordinary.
8) Does a Rixson F180 top pivot set include the bottom pivot, or do I order that separately?
The F180 is the top pivot. Offset hung doors need a matching bottom pivot or floor closer at the sill to complete the hang, ordered in the same offset. What ships with the F180 itself is the mounting hardware, both wood screws and machine screws; Torx screws are an option if the job calls for a tamper resistant head.
9) Should I use an offset pivot or butt hinges on a commercial door?
Offset pivots like the F180 carry the door load at the top and bottom rather than along the edge, which is what you want on heavy doors, doors with a floor closer, and doors where the leaf has to clear the frame by a set offset. Butt hinges spread the load down the hinge edge and are simpler on ordinary interior doors. If the opening already has a floor closer, or the frame is prepped for offset hung hardware, you are in pivot territory and the F180 is the fire rated top half of that set.
10) What finishes does the Rixson F180 fire rated top pivot come in?
Seventeen finishes, so it can be matched to whatever else is on the opening: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 689 aluminum painted, 690 dark bronze, 691 bronze painted, 696 satin brass painted, plus BSP black suede powder and WSP white suede powder. For a building being standardized, 626 satin chrome and 630-family looks are the usual commercial default; 689 and 690 are the common painted aluminum-storefront matches.
11) Is the Rixson F180 pivot electrified or can it transfer power to the door?
No. The F180 is a mechanical pivot with no electrical function and carries no power transfer. If the opening needs power to an electrified lock or exit device, that has to come from a separate power transfer hinge, an electric power transfer device in the frame, or a door loop.
