Von Duprin 051701 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Von Duprin 051701 extension rod kit actually do, and which device does it go on?
The 051701 is a 12 inch extension rod kit for the Von Duprin 8827 exit device. A vertical rod device ships set up for a standard height opening; on a taller door the factory rods come up short at the top latch, the bottom bolt, or both. The kit adds 12 inches of rod length so the device still throws into the head and threshold prep on that taller door. It is an installation accessory, not a device, so it goes onto an 8827 you already have or are ordering.
2) Can I use the Von Duprin 051701 rod kit on a 33 or 35 Series exit device instead of an 8827?
No. The 051701 is engineered for the Von Duprin 8827 exit device specifically, even though it sits in the 33/35 Series family of parts. Rod diameters, end fittings, and connector geometry differ between Von Duprin device families, so ordering this kit for anything other than an 8827 gets you rod that will not couple up. If your device is a 33 or 35 Series vertical rod, order the extension kit called out for that exact device number.
3) Is the Falcon 610061 top rod an equivalent replacement for the Von Duprin 051701 extension rod kit?
No. The Von Duprin 051701 is a 12 inch extension rod kit built for the Von Duprin 8827 exit device and the 33 and 35 Series family. The Falcon 610061 is a 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical top rod for the F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices. Both are vertical rod components, but each is cut and drilled to its own device family, so the Falcon rod belongs on a Falcon F-25-C or F-25-CWDC opening and the 051701 belongs on the Von Duprin 8827. If the door already carries an 8827, order the 051701; if the crash bar is a Falcon Monarch F-25-C, the 610061 is the part that fits.
4) What finish should I order the Von Duprin 051701 rod kit in to match my existing exit device?
Six finishes are offered: 626 satin chrome, 613 dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 612 satin bronze, 606 satin brass, 605 bright brass, and 693 black painted. Match the finish code on the device already installed, not the finish name, since 605 and 606 both read as brass and 612 and 613 both read as bronze on a spec sheet. On a vertical rod device the rod is visible full height of the door, so a mismatch here shows more than it would on a small part.
5) Is the Von Duprin 051701 rod kit heavy duty enough for a school or hospital exit door?
Grade 1, and rated for commercial use. That is the heaviest duty tier in exit hardware and it is what an institutional spec normally calls for on egress doors in schools, healthcare, government buildings, and high traffic retail. Bear in mind the grade applies to the hardware, not the opening: the door itself still has to be a non-rated opening, since this kit is not fire rated.
6) My exit device is a Falcon, not a Von Duprin. Is there a rod I can order for it?
The 051701 will not work on a Falcon device. For Falcon concealed vertical rod applications, the 610061 is the 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical top rod called out for the F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices. Rods and their end fittings are device specific across every brand, so the device number stamped on your touchpad end case is what decides the part, not the rod length alone.
7) I have a pair of doors with no mullion and the vertical rods keep failing. Should I add a mullion instead of extending the rods?
Those are two different fixes. Extension rods, like the 051701 for the 8827, only address rod length on a tall opening; they do nothing about a pair of doors. If the real problem is that you want to run rim devices on a pair rather than maintain vertical rods, the Falcon 4023 steel mullion converts the pair into two openings each taking a rim device, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers steady a mullion already in place. A mullion does mean the opening no longer clears full width for wide loads.
8) My exit device top latch is worn out. Is the 051701 the part I need?
No, that is a different repair. The 051701 supplies rod length only, for a Von Duprin 8827 on a taller than standard door. A worn or failing top latch is a latch component replacement, and it has to be the one for your device family: for Accentra, the top latch replacement components are catalogued separately for the 7110/7120 and for the fire rated 7110F. Diagnose which end is failing before you order, because a device that will not hold at the head can be a short rod or a dead latch, and the parts do not overlap.
9) The door is too tall for the standard vertical rod - is an extension rod the right fix, or should a mullion be used instead?
Those solve two different problems. The Von Duprin 051701 adds 12 inches of rod length so a vertical rod device reaches the top latch point on a taller opening; it is an installation accessory for the Von Duprin 8827. A mullion such as the Falcon 4023 steel mullion is for double door exit device applications, where it gives the pair of leaves a fixed center post to latch against. Height on a single leaf is an extension rod question; a wide pair of doors with no astragal is a mullion question. The Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers support that mullion, not the rod.
10) The top latch on the exit device is worn out - does an extension rod kit replace it?
No. The Von Duprin 051701 extension rod kit supplies rod length for the Von Duprin 8827; it is not a latch assembly. A worn top latch is replaced with a top latch component, the way the Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 top latch replacement component serves the Accentra 7110 and 7120 devices and the 60-7010-0050-999 serves the 7110F. Match the latch part to the device brand and model already hung on the door, and use the 051701 only when the rod itself needs added length.
11) Can a fire rated opening take the Von Duprin 051701 extension rod kit?
The 051701 extension rod kit carries a fire rating of No, as does the Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 top latch component. Among comparable exit device parts, the Accentra 60-7010-0050-999 is the component built for the 7110F device. For a labeled opening, specify the fire rated version of the device and its matching parts, and keep the 051701 for non-labeled 8827 installations.
12) Can I standardize the Von Duprin 051701 rod kit across all the tall exit doors in my building?
Only where the device is a Von Duprin 8827 and the opening is non-rated. Those two conditions do the filtering. Walk the building and sort the openings by device number stamped on the end case and by whether the door carries a fire label; the 8827 non-rated tall openings all take the same 051701, in whichever of the six finishes matches the existing hardware. Labeled doors and other device families come off the standardization list and get specified separately.
13) Standardizing exit device parts across a building - what separates the Von Duprin 051701 from the other exit device replacement parts stocked alongside it?
They are sorted by device family and by function. The Von Duprin 051701 is a 12 inch extension rod kit for the Von Duprin 8827, Grade 1 and commercial, offered in 626 satin chrome, 693 black painted, 612 satin bronze, 613 dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 605 bright brass, and 606 satin brass. The Falcon 610061 covers Falcon 24 Series Monarch F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices, the Falcon 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement for the Falcon T Series, and the Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 covers Accentra 7110 and 7120. Stock by the devices actually hanging in the facility rather than by part type.
14) Rekeying an exit device - is the Von Duprin 051701 kit part of the cylinder work?
No. The 051701 is a 12 inch extension rod kit for the Von Duprin 8827 and has nothing to do with keying. Cylinder work on a rim device runs through a rim housing such as the Arrow 16RCR-27 SFIC rim housing, 6/7-pin, in the Arrow 24/25 Series. A locksmith setting up small format interchangeable core keying orders the rim housing; the 051701 only comes into it when the vertical rod needs added length.
