Trimco TRI-PBT8000-1-18 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which exit devices does the Trimco PBT8000-1-18 push bar cover fit?
The PBT8000-1-18 is the Von Duprin 98/99 version, sized for a 36 inch (3 foot) device. If your opening has a 48 inch Von Duprin 98/99 device, the PBT8000-1-24 is the one you want. For Precision Hardware Apex 2000 devices there are separate part numbers entirely: PBT8000-2-13 for a 2 foot 6 inch device, PBT8000-2-19 for a 3 foot, and PBT8000-2-23 for a 4 foot.
2) Do I have to take the exit device off the door to install a Trimco push bar cover?
No. The PBT8000 covers snap onto an exit device that is already installed, and no hardware is needed to mount them. It is a retrofit part, so the device stays on the door and the panic function is untouched. That is what makes it practical for an occupied building where you cannot pull hardware off egress doors.
3) Is the antimicrobial surface on the PBT8000 a coating that wears off over time?
It isn't a coating. The PBT8000 push bar covers are bactericidal through the material itself, so there's no applied film to wear through under traffic. For a hospital, school or hotel corridor where the touch surface gets cleaned constantly, that is the practical difference between this and a sprayed or dipped finish.
4) Will a Trimco push bar cover interfere with ADA requirements on an egress door?
The PBT8000 is listed as ADA compliant. It snaps over the existing touchpad without adding hardware or changing how the device is operated, so the push-to-exit motion stays the same.
5) My exit device is an odd length. Can I get a PBT8000 cover made to fit?
Custom lengths are offered in the PBT8000 series. The standard catalog covers 36 inch and 48 inch Von Duprin devices and 2 foot 6 inch, 3 foot and 4 foot Precision Apex 2000 devices; anything outside those is handled as a custom length.
6) Where do these Trimco push bar covers get used most?
Commercial-rated, so they turn up on high-touch egress doors in commercial and industrial buildings, hotels, multifamily and mixed-use, public facilities, and retail and strip malls. Property managers typically order them building-wide once, since all the Von Duprin 98/99 devices at 36 inches take the same PBT8000-1-18.
