Norton Rixson F480 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Norton Rixson F480 top pivot work on a 1-3/4 inch door?
That is the only thickness it fits. The F480 offset top pivot is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the standard commercial door thickness, and the 3/4 inch (19mm) offset is measured from the centerline of the pivot to the face of the door. On a thinner or thicker leaf you need a different pivot, not this one.
2) Can I use a fire rated pivot on a 3 hour fire door assembly?
The F480 offset top pivot carries a 3 hour fire rating for fire door assemblies using ferrous materials. That covers the longest-duration openings most commercial buildings have, including stair enclosures and separation walls in healthcare, education and government facilities.
3) My frame is channel iron and cannot be mortised. What top pivot do I use?
That is exactly the case the F480 is made for. It is a full surface pivot, so both the door portion and the jamb portion mount on the face rather than into a mortise, and it takes thru-bolting. Channel iron frames and flush door and frame conditions where you have nothing to rout into are the intended application.
4) Is the Norton Rixson F480 pivot handed, and do I have to specify left or right?
Handed, yes. Offset hung pivots are not reversible, so you specify the hand of the opening when you order. Get it wrong and the pivot will not mount to the correct edge of the door. Confirm the swing from the door's hinge side as you face the outside of the opening before placing the order.
5) Does a top pivot need a matching bottom pivot to hang the door?
Yes. The F480 is the top half of an offset hung installation and the 480 Series pivot type covers top and bottom, so you order a bottom pivot or a floor closer with an offset spindle to carry the door's weight. The top pivot locates and steadies the leaf; it does not support it on its own.
6) What is the difference between an offset hung pivot and a center hung pivot?
Offset hung, which is what the F480 is, sets the pivot point away from the door edge, here 3/4 inch (19mm) from pivot centerline to door face, so the door swings clear of the frame in one direction and behaves like a conventionally hinged door. Center hung puts the pivot on the door's centerline and lets the leaf swing both ways with half the door passing into the opening. If the opening needs a single-direction swing with a closer and a normal stop condition, offset is the right family; double-acting traffic doors go center hung.
7) Does the F480 pivot set include screws, or do I need to order fasteners separately?
Both wood and machine screws come with the set, so it lands on either a wood door and frame or a metal one without a separate fastener order. Torx screws are an option if you want a tamper-resistant head on the exposed surface plates.
8) Can I get a longer pivot pin for a deep frame or an unusual header condition?
Longer than standard pivot pins are available in 1/4 inch (6mm), 1/2 inch (13mm) and 3/4 inch (19mm) increments. That is the option to call out when the header build-out, an applied soffit, or an oversized frame puts the pin further from the door top than a standard pin reaches.
9) What finishes does the Norton Rixson F480 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. On a full surface pivot the plates are visible on the door and frame face, so finish is not a throwaway choice here the way it is on a mortised pivot.
10) Is the Norton Rixson F480 pivot heavy enough for a high traffic commercial entrance?
It is a heavy-duty commercial pivot at a standard duty level, non-ferrous base material, and the full surface plates thru-bolt through the door rather than relying on screw threads in the door face. That construction is what holds up under repeated cycles on office, school, healthcare and warehouse openings.
11) Does the F480 pivot need power or wiring for an access control door?
No wiring involved. The F480 is a mechanical top pivot with no electrified option, so it takes no power transfer and no conduit in the frame. If the opening needs electrified hardware, that goes in the lock, the strike or an electric power transfer hinge elsewhere on the door, not in this pivot.
