Pemko 159DP 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pemko 159 threshold work with a surface vertical rod exit device?
That's exactly what the 159 saddle threshold is built around. It's made for surface-applied vertical rod exit devices and doors with double-sealed bumpers, and it allows 9/16 inch door clearance so the bottom rod and latch operate the way they should. The saddle doubles as an interlock threshold as well as an exit threshold.
2) What's the difference between the 159P, 159T, and 159V threshold inserts?
The suffix is the gasket insert. 159P carries a pile brush insert, 159T a ThermoSeal insert, and 159V an Eco-V insert. Pile brush handles sweeping contact and debris on doors that see a lot of grit. ThermoSeal and Eco-V are the sealing choices where air infiltration and sound matter, and both are GREENGUARD certified for indoor air quality. Eco-V additionally contains no phthalates or heavy metals and uses renewable carbon sources, which is the one to specify on a project chasing sustainable material credits.
3) Which finishes does the Pemko 159 threshold come in, and do both cover the full insert range?
Two finishes: mill finish aluminum and dark bronze anodized aluminum. Both are offered with all three inserts (P, T, and V) in both the 36 inch and 72 inch lengths, so the finish choice doesn't limit the gasket you can specify. Mill finish is the usual match for aluminum storefront; dark bronze anodized pairs with bronze frames and dark anodized entrances.
4) What fasteners come with the Pemko 159 threshold, and do I need anchors for concrete?
Standard fastening on the 159 is #10 x 1-1/2 inch wood screws, with optional fastener types available. Wood screws are fine into a wood sub-sill, but on a concrete slab you'll want to specify the alternate fastener option or plan on your own sleeve anchors, since the standard screws alone won't hold a saddle that takes door traffic and a bottom rod strike.
5) Should I use a latching panic saddle threshold or a plain saddle threshold under my exit doors?
It comes down to the exit device. If the doors carry surface-applied vertical rod devices, the bottom rod has to latch into the floor, and a plain saddle gives it nothing to engage. The 159 is the latching type, made to work with those devices at 9/16 inch door clearance, and it also serves as an interlock threshold. If the doors are on rim devices with a mullion, or a mortise device, nothing is latching at the floor and a standard saddle threshold does the job.
6) Can I get the 159 panic saddle threshold in brass instead of aluminum?
Yes, the 159 saddle is produced in aluminum or brass base material. The aluminum version is what carries the mill finish and dark bronze anodized options. Substrate on the stocked configurations is aluminum, so a brass base is the special order side of the series.
7) What does the J hook on the Pemko 159 threshold do?
The J hook is the raised leg on the saddle that the door face seals against. It blocks sound, air infiltration, wind, and driven debris at the bottom of the opening, and it gives the gasket insert something to bear on rather than relying on a flat contact. On an exterior entrance that's the difference between a threshold that just fills the gap and one that actually stops weather.
8) Is the 159 threshold suitable for a school or hospital exit door, or is it a residential part?
It's a commercial threshold, used on office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, retail, warehouse and industrial buildings, multi-tenant residential, and government work. Because it's built for surface vertical rod exit devices, it belongs on egress doors specifically, which is where those devices live in an institutional building.
