Trimco TRI-PBT8000-1-24 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which exit devices does the Trimco PBT8000-1-24 push bar cover fit?
The PBT8000-1-24 is sized for a 48 inch (4 foot) Von Duprin 98/99 exit device. The PBT8000 series as a whole covers Von Duprin 98/99 and Precision Hardware Apex 2000 devices only, so if the opening has a device from another manufacturer, this cover is not the part.
2) I have 36 inch Von Duprin exit devices, not 48 inch. Which PBT8000 do I order?
Order the PBT8000-1-18, which is the push bar cover for a 36 inch Von Duprin 98/99 device. The -1-24 is the 48 inch version. Getting the length wrong means the cover will not sit correctly on the touchpad.
3) Do I need screws or brackets to install a Trimco PBT8000 push bar cover?
No hardware is needed. The PBT8000 covers snap onto exit devices that are already installed, so it is a retrofit with no drilling, no disassembly of the device, and very little labor. A maintenance tech can do a run of doors without taking any of them out of service.
4) I run a Precision Apex 2000 standard across my buildings. Is there a matching push bar cover?
Yes, three Apex 2000 sizes are covered: PBT8000-2-13 for a 2 foot 6 inch device, PBT8000-2-19 for a 3 foot device, and PBT8000-2-23 for a 4 foot device. The -1- prefix parts are the Von Duprin versions, so a mixed building can be standardized on the same cover family across both device brands.
5) Is the antimicrobial property a coating that wears off the push bar?
It is not a coating. The PBT8000 cover is bactericidal through the material itself, so it does not wear off the way a sprayed or plated surface does on a high traffic touchpad. The 4 foot version comes in 710CU Steralloy, a silver colored copper alloy.
6) Will adding a push bar cover to my exit device affect ADA compliance?
The PBT8000 push bar cover is listed as ADA compliant, so it can go on egress doors in facilities held to accessibility requirements without changing how the touchpad is operated. It snaps over the existing bar rather than adding a separate operating motion.
7) Where does a bactericidal push bar cover like this actually get used?
It is a commercial product, aimed at high touch egress doors in commercial and industrial buildings, hospitality, multifamily and mixed use, public buildings and facilities, and retail and strip malls. Because it snaps over exit devices already hanging on the door, it is typically bought as a building wide retrofit rather than specified on new construction.
