Norton Rixson FA19-RH-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Norton Rixson FA19 intermediate pivot handed, and how do I order the right hand?
Handed, yes. The FA19 is built left hand or right hand and the two are not interchangeable, so you pick the handing on the order alongside the finish. Determine handing from the door as it swings in service before you order; a left hand pivot on a right hand opening will not mortise correctly.
2) Can the FA19 pivot be used on a 3 hour fire rated door assembly?
The Norton Rixson FA19 carries a 3 hour fire rating, so it can be used on fire door assemblies up to that rating. That is the spec an inspector will want on a stair, corridor, or occupancy separation opening in a hospital or school.
3) What does a 3/4 inch offset intermediate pivot do differently from a center hung pivot?
Offset hung means the door pivots on a point set 3/4 inch (19mm) in from the frame face rather than on the door centerline. The leaf swings one way only and clears the frame, which is what you want on a fire rated opening with a closer and standard perimeter seals. Center hung is the choice when you need double action or a door that swings both directions. The FA19 is offset hung, so pair it with offset bottom pivots and offset top hardware, not center hung parts.
4) Why would a behavioral health or correctional facility specify the FA19 instead of butt hinges?
The FA19 was built for institutional openings where flat surfaces are objectionable. It mortises fully into the door and frame so there is no exposed leaf or knuckle to anchor a ligature or take a pry bar, unlike a surface butt hinge. That is why it shows up on behavioral health, correctional, and healthcare specs where the hardware has to disappear into the opening.
5) Does the FA19 pivot support the door weight on its own, or do I need a bottom pivot too?
An intermediate pivot does not carry the door. It stabilizes the leaf between the top and bottom points and holds alignment through the swing. The FA19 also aids in installing bottom pivots. Order it as part of a set with a top and bottom pivot for the opening, not as a standalone replacement for hinges.
6) What door edge bevel does the Norton Rixson FA19 need on the door prep?
Prep the door edge to a 1/8 inch in 2 inch bevel, the standard commercial bevel. Combined with the full mortise pockets routed in both door and frame, that is what lets the leaf clear the frame through the swing without binding on the offset pivot point.
7) Do I have to buy screws separately for the FA19 pivot?
No separate fastener order needed. The FA19 comes with both wood and machine Torx screws, so it covers a wood door or frame and a hollow metal one out of the same box. The Torx drive also means a standard screwdriver will not back the pivot out, which matters on the institutional openings this pivot is aimed at.
8) Is the FA19 an electrified pivot for transferring power to the door?
No. The FA19 is a mechanical intermediate pivot with no electrical transfer through it. If the opening needs power to an electrified lock or exit device, run it through a separate power transfer device or an electric hinge, and use the FA19 purely for alignment.
9) What finishes does the Norton Rixson FA19 intermediate pivot come in to match the rest of my door hardware?
Seventeen finishes, in every handing: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 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, BSP black suede powder, and WSP white suede powder. For a building already standardized on 626 or 630-family hardware, 626 satin chrome is the match; painted 689 and 690 line up with aluminum storefront and dark bronze frames.
