Von Duprin 050655 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the 12 ft top rod meant to be cut down to my door height?
Yes. The 050655 ships as a single 12-foot rod so it can be field cut to the actual door height, which is how tall or non-standard openings get covered from one part number. Cut and dress the end square so the rod seats correctly in the top latch case.
2) Can I use this rod kit on a fire rated door assembly?
No. The 050655 top rod kit carries no fire rating, so it should not be used to restore a fire rated vertical rod device. Fire rated openings need the fire labelled rod and latch components for that device.
3) What is the closest equivalent to the Von Duprin 050655 top rod if the device is a Falcon concealed vertical rod exit device?
The Von Duprin 050655 one piece top rod kit is built for the 3527A, 9827 and 9857 Series devices, so it is matched to Von Duprin hardware. For a Falcon concealed vertical rod opening, the Falcon 610061 is a 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical top rod made for the F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices. Both parts serve the same role in the door, but each is dimensioned to its own device family and they are not interchangeable.
4) What finishes does the Von Duprin 050655 top rod come in?
Four: 626 satin chrome, 630 satin stainless steel, 612 satin bronze and 710 dark bronze. Match the rod to the finish already on the device chassis and top latch case, since the rod is exposed on the face of the door.
5) Is this a top rod only, or does it include the top latch?
Rod only. The 050655 is the one-piece top vertical rod for the 3527A/9827/9857 devices, an installation accessory rather than a complete latch assembly. If the top latch case or bolt itself is damaged, that is a separate part.
6) I have a pair of doors and the top rods keep going out of adjustment. Should I keep repairing the rods or add a mullion?
Surface vertical rod devices latch at the head and the sill, which is what lets a pair work with no center mullion, and the trade off is rods that need periodic adjustment. If you would rather move to rim devices on that pair, you need a removable mullion such as the Falcon 4023 steel mullion, with Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers where the mullion needs extra support. Replacing the Von Duprin 050655 top rod keeps the existing no-mullion arrangement.
7) My vertical rod device latches poorly at the top - do I need a new rod or just the top latch?
If the rod itself is bent, cut short or corroded, the Von Duprin 050655 one piece top rod kit supplies a 12 ft length that can be field cut for the door height. If the rod is sound and the problem is at the latch point, that is a different part: on Accentra devices the 7110/7120 top latch replacement component (60-7010-0049-999) and the 7110F top latch replacement component (60-7010-0050-999) address the latch rather than the rod. Diagnose which end of the assembly has failed before ordering.
8) Can I use a mullion instead of replacing the vertical rod on a pair of doors?
They solve different problems. The Von Duprin 050655 restores top rod operation on a vertical rod device already in the door. If you are converting a double door pair to rim devices, a mullion carries the strike instead: the Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers support mullion installations. Going the mullion route means changing the exit devices themselves, not just the rod.
9) Will the Von Duprin 050655 fix a latch that will not retract on a Falcon T Series device?
No. The 050655 is a top rod kit for Von Duprin 3527A, 9827 and 9857 Series vertical rod devices. A Falcon T Series latching issue is served by the Falcon T Series 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part, which is a latch component for that series rather than a rod. Match the part to the device family on the door.
10) Is this rod heavy duty enough for a high traffic school or hospital door?
It is a Grade 1 commercial component from the Von Duprin 35/98 Series, which is the duty level specified for high traffic openings in schools, hospitals, offices and government buildings. Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA duty tier for exit device hardware.
11) Does the 050655 top rod kit have anything to do with the cylinder or keyed side of an exit device?
No. The Von Duprin 050655 is a mechanical rod component in the vertical rod assembly, supplied in a 12 ft length and offered in 626 satin chrome, 630 satin stainless steel, 612 satin bronze and 710 dark bronze. Keying hardware is a separate item - for example the Arrow 16RCR-27 is an SFIC rim housing for 6 and 7 pin cores in the 24/25 Series. Ordering a rod will not change how the device is keyed.
12) I need a top rod for a fire rated opening - is the 050655 the right call?
The Von Duprin 050655 one piece top rod kit carries a fire rating value of No, as do the Accentra 7110/7120 and 7110F top latch replacement components. On a labeled opening, confirm the required listing for the specific device assembly before specifying any replacement component.
