PDQ 429150 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the PDQ 429150 glass bead kit actually include?
PDQ 429150 is a universal glass bead kit containing two each of 1/8 inch spacers for the device chassis, the end cap, and the rod guides. It is a genuine PDQ part, ordered as a single kit under part number 429150.
2) Which PDQ exit devices does the 429150 glass bead kit work with?
It is made for the PDQ 4200 Series exit devices, covering both the 4200R rim and 4200V surface vertical rod models. The kit is universal within that series, so the same part number serves either device type.
3) Why would I need a glass bead kit when mounting an exit device on a glass front door?
On a narrow stile aluminum door with a glass bead, the bead stands proud of the stile face and the device chassis, end cap and rod guides will not sit flat against the door. The 429150 kit supplies 1/8 inch spacers behind those three mounting points so the 4200R or 4200V device mounts square and the rods run true. It is the part a glass front installer orders alongside the device, not after a failure.
4) Does the 429150 kit include spacers for the strikes too, or only the device?
Only the device-mounted components. The 429150 kit covers the chassis, end cap and rod guides. Shims for the strikes are handled separately within the 4200 Series parts range, where the SVR top and bottom strikes come with two 1/16 inch shims of their own.
5) Can I use the 429150 glass bead kit on a fire rated PDQ 4200 device?
The 429150 kit is a mounting spacer kit and carries no restriction of its own within the 4200 Series parts range. Note that within that same range, the 429021, 429023 and 429024 vertical rod extensions and the bottom rod are not for fire rated devices, so if you are building up a fire rated SVR opening, check which rod parts you are ordering.
6) Does the glass bead kit come in different finishes to match my exit device?
No finish choice applies. The 429150 is offered as one part number with no finish option, since the spacers sit behind the chassis, end cap and rod guides and are not visible once the device is mounted. Within the 4200 Series parts range it is the rods and the sex nut and bolt set that are finish-specific, in plated 626 and 630 or painted 689, 693, 695 and 696.
7) Where can I find the PDQ 4200 Series specs to confirm I need the glass bead spacers?
PDQ publishes a 4200 Series brochure and an architectural submittal sheet for the 4200R, both of which carry the device dimensions and mounting detail you need to decide whether the 1/8 inch bead spacers apply to your door. Those documents are the place to confirm chassis mounting before you order.
