Von Duprin 47250398 Top Cable Assembly — 33/35/98/9949 Series Replacement Part

The top cable assembly is the tensioned cable that runs from the crossbar actuator to the top rod latch in a Von Duprin vertical-rod or cable-actuated exit device. When this cable stretches, frays, or breaks, the top latch stops retracting on push — the door won't release cleanly, creating a life-safety and code-compliance issue. This genuine Von Duprin replacement restores factory-specified cable tension and top-latch operation without replacing the entire device.

Compatibility

  • Von Duprin 33 Series exit devices
  • Von Duprin 35 Series exit devices
  • Von Duprin 98 Series exit devices
  • Von Duprin 9949 Series exit devices

How to Select the Right Size

Cable assembly length is determined by door height. Measure from finished floor to top of door (not frame) and match to the range below:

  • 6'0" to 6'10" — SKU 47250398
  • 6'10" to 8'0" — SKU 47250175
  • 8'0" to 9'2" — SKU 47250176
  • 9'2" to 10'4" — SKU 47250177

Select the size on this page that matches your door height. If your door height falls exactly on a boundary, use the next size up.

Von Duprin 47250398 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I know which Von Duprin top cable assembly length to order for my door?
Length is set by door height, not by device model. Measure from finished floor to the top of the door leaf (not the frame) and match: 6'0" to 6'10" is part 47250398, 6'10" to 8'0" is 47250175, 8'0" to 9'2" is 47250176, and 9'2" to 10'4" is 47250177. If your height lands exactly on a boundary, take the next size up. Four sizes cover doors from 6 feet to 10'4".
2) Will the Von Duprin 47250398 top cable assembly fit my 98 Series exit device?
Yes, provided the door is 6'0" to 6'10" tall. The 47250398 cable is built for Von Duprin 33, 35, 98 and 9949 Series devices, so a 98 Series vertical-rod or cable-actuated device is a direct fit. The device model tells you the cable is correct; the door height tells you which of the four lengths to pull.
3) My exit device top latch won't retract when I push the bar. Is the cable the problem?
That is the classic symptom of a stretched, frayed or broken top cable. The cable runs under tension from the crossbar actuator to the top rod latch, so once it loses tension the top latch stays engaged and the door will not release cleanly on push, which is a life-safety and code problem. Replacing the cable assembly restores factory cable tension and top-latch operation without swapping out the whole device.
4) Will an Accentra top latch replacement component work in a Von Duprin 33 or 98 Series exit device?
No. The Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 is a top latch replacement component built for Accentra 7110 and 7120 exit devices, and the 60-7010-0050-999 is the same class of component for the Accentra 7110F. The Von Duprin 47250398 is a top cable assembly for Von Duprin 33, 35, 98 and 9949 Series devices. Two different manufacturers' device platforms, and two different parts of the mechanism: the Accentra pieces are latch components at the top of the door, while the 47250398 is the tensioned cable that pulls that latch. Match the repair part to the device brand and series stamped on the touchbar, not to the symptom.
5) My concealed vertical rod device has a broken top rod, not a cable. What part covers that?
A rod and a cable are not interchangeable parts. The Falcon 610061 is a Monarch concealed vertical top rod for Falcon F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices, so it is the right family of part for a Falcon concealed vertical rod device with a damaged top rod. The Von Duprin 47250398 is a top cable assembly, which is the flexible tensioned run from the crossbar actuator to the top rod latch on Von Duprin 33, 35, 98 and 9949 Series devices. Open the top rail and identify which one you are actually holding before ordering: if the failed component is rigid rod stock it is a rod part, and if it is stranded cable with swaged end fittings it is a cable assembly.
6) Is this a genuine Von Duprin part or an aftermarket cable?
Genuine Von Duprin OEM. That matters on a cable more than on most parts: cable diameter, end-fitting geometry and tension spec all have to match the original or the top latch never retracts fully, and an aftermarket cable that is close but not correct tends to fail early. The OEM assembly is built to the same tolerances as the cable that came out of the device.
7) Does the cable assembly cover both leaves of a pair of doors?
One cable assembly serves one device, and it drives the top latch on that leaf only. On a pair where both leaves carry vertical-rod devices, you need a cable for each leaf, sized to each door's height. If the two leaves are different heights, the part numbers will differ.
8) I'm standardizing exit device repair parts across a building. Does one cable part number work for every door?
Only where the door heights match. Since the cable is cut to door height, a building with 6'8" doors throughout stocks a single part, 47250398, while a mix of standard and tall openings needs 47250175 for 6'10" to 8'0" and 47250176 for 8'0" to 9'2". Survey door heights first, then stock by height band rather than by device model, since the same cable serves 33, 35, 98 and 9949 devices.
9) Can I use a Falcon or other brand vertical rod part in place of the Von Duprin cable?
No. The cable assembly is matched to Von Duprin 33, 35, 98 and 9949 device geometry, and other brands' vertical-rod components are built for their own devices. The Falcon 610061 top rod, for example, is for Falcon 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical rod F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices, not for a Von Duprin. Match the part to the device brand and series on the door.
10) For a non-fire-rated exit opening, does the Von Duprin cable assembly or the Accentra top latch component apply?
Both are catalogued for non fire rated use, so the deciding factor is the device on the door and not the opening rating. The Von Duprin 47250398 top cable assembly carries a fire rating of no and an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 commercial rating, and serves Von Duprin 33, 35, 98 and 9949 Series devices. The Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 top latch component also carries a fire rating of no and serves Accentra 7110 and 7120 devices. On a fire rated opening, order the fire labeled component specified for that device rather than either of these.
11) The double doors won't latch and there is no mullion problem at the cable. Do I need a mullion part or a cable part?
They solve different failures. The Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 is a set of aluminum mullion stabilizers for exit devices, so both address the removable center post that a pair of doors latches against. The Von Duprin 47250398 top cable assembly addresses a single leaf whose top latch stops retracting on push because the cable has stretched, frayed, or broken. Diagnose by leaf: if one door alone fails to release when the bar is pushed, the fault is inside that device; if the pair will not secure or the center post is loose, look at the mullion.
12) Is a Falcon deadlatch replacement part an alternative to a Von Duprin top cable assembly?
No, and they are not even on the same part of the door. The Falcon 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part for Falcon T Series, which is a latch that sits in the edge of the door at the strike. The Von Duprin 47250398 is a top cable assembly for Von Duprin 33, 35, 98 and 9949 Series exit devices, working at the head of the door between the crossbar actuator and the top rod latch. A deadlatch part will not restore top latch retraction on a Von Duprin exit device.
13) The exit device won't unlock with the key but pushing the bar works. Is a cable assembly the fix?
No. When the bar releases the door but the cylinder does not, the fault is in the keyed side of the device, and a rim housing part such as the Arrow 16RCR-27 SFIC rim housing for 6 and 7 pin cores is the class of component that addresses cylinder mounting on a rim device. The Von Duprin 47250398 top cable assembly is the fix for the opposite symptom: the bar is pushed and the top latch does not retract, because the cable between the crossbar actuator and the top rod latch has stretched, frayed, or broken. Order against the symptom you can reproduce at the door.
14) My top latch is worn out too. Is the cable enough or do I need the latch as well?
The cable assembly only restores the pull from the crossbar to the top latch. If the latch itself is damaged, worn, or no longer retracting once the cable tension is right, that is a separate component. ZenSupply carries top latch replacement components for other device lines, including the Accentra 7110/7120 and 7110F, so check the latch condition before you order the cable alone.
