Von Duprin 50575 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exit devices does the Von Duprin 050575 bottom rod kit fit?
The 050575 bottom rod kit is made for Von Duprin 98/9947 and 98/9947-F Series exit devices. That's the vertical rod version of the 98/99 family, and the -F designation covers the fire rated build of the same device. If the device on your door is a 9927, 9947 with different suffixes than those, or a rim or mortise 98/99 device, this isn't the rod for it. Order the model marked 050575 - for 98/9947/48.
2) Will the Von Duprin 050575 bottom rod work on a wood door?
No. The 050575 bottom rod kit is specified for metal door applications. Vertical rod devices are built differently for hollow metal versus wood door construction, so if the opening is a wood door you need the wood door version of the bottom rod for your 98/9947, not this kit.
3) My 9947 bottom latch stopped catching the floor strike. Do I have to replace the whole exit device?
No. The bottom rod is a serviceable part on the 98/9947, and the 050575 kit replaces just that bottom rod assembly on a metal door. If the top latch still throws and only the bottom is failing, a rod swap restores the device instead of pulling and re-prepping the whole unit.
4) Is the 050575 bottom rod OK to use on a fire rated exit door?
The kit is listed for the 98/9947-F as well as the standard 98/9947, and the -F is Von Duprin's fire rated vertical rod device. One caution on fire openings: a fire rated vertical rod device has to latch top and bottom, so a less-bottom-rod conversion is not an option there. Replacing the failed bottom rod is what keeps that device latching as built.
5) What does the bottom rod actually do on a 9947 vertical rod exit device?
On a surface vertical rod device like the 9947, pushing the bar retracts a latch at the head of the frame and a second one at the floor at the same time. The bottom rod is the linkage that drives that lower latch. With it worn or broken, the door still opens but the bottom half is no longer secured, which is why a pair of doors on vertical rods starts to rattle or get pried at the base. The 050575 kit is that lower rod for metal door 98/9947 and 98/9947-F devices.
6) I'm standardizing exit device repairs across a building. Does one bottom rod kit cover all my Von Duprin devices?
Not across the board. The 050575 is tied to two things at once: the 98/9947 and 98/9947-F series, and metal door construction. Openings in the same building with wood doors, or with rim or mortise 98/99 devices, take different parts. Walk the openings and count the metal door 9947s separately before you stock this one deep.
