Von Duprin 050457 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 8847-F top rod kit work on an 8 foot tall door?
Yes. The 8847-F top rod kit covers door heights from 6 feet 8 inches up to 8 feet, so a full 8 foot opening is inside its range. It is the top rod only, for 55/88 Series vertical rod exit devices.
2) Does the Von Duprin 8847-F kit fit exit devices other than the 55 and 88 Series?
It is built for Von Duprin 55/88 Series exit devices only. It is a factory replacement part matched to that family's vertical rod assembly, so it is not a cross-series or cross-brand rod. If you are servicing a different family, match the rod to that device's own part number.
3) Is this the whole vertical rod exit device or just the rod?
Just the top rod kit. The 8847-F restores the upper half of a 55/88 Series vertical rod assembly when the existing top rod is damaged or when a device is being moved to a taller door. The device chassis, bottom rod, latches and trim are separate.
4) Is there a concealed vertical top rod for a Falcon 24 Series Monarch device, or does the Von Duprin 8847-F cover that?
The Von Duprin 050457 8847-F top rod kit is built for Von Duprin 55/88 Series exit devices and should not be used on a Falcon device. For a Falcon 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical rod opening, the corresponding part is the Falcon 610061 concealed vertical top rod for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices. Match the rod to the device family it was engineered for - vertical rod lengths, connection points and latch geometry differ between manufacturers.
5) What finishes does the Von Duprin 050457 top rod kit come in?
Three: 626 satin chrome, 613 oil rubbed bronze, and 605 bright brass. If you are patching one door in a building where the rest of the exit devices are 626, order 626 so the rod does not read as a mismatch on the door face.
6) Is the 8847-F rod kit heavy duty enough for a school or hospital entry?
It is a Grade 1 commercial part, which is the highest ANSI/BHMA duty level and the one specified for high-traffic institutional openings such as schools, hospitals and office entries. It is rated commercial, not residential.
7) My door is a pair with no mullion and the exit device only latches at the top now. Is a rod kit the fix?
If the top rod itself is bent, out of adjustment or the wrong length after a door swap, the 8847-F top rod kit is the correct Von Duprin part for a 55/88 Series device on doors 6'8" to 8' tall. If the issue is the bottom latch or you would rather eliminate the mullion-free pair problem entirely, a steel removable mullion such as the Falcon 4023 lets you run rim devices on both leaves instead of vertical rods.
8) What is the equivalent top rod or top latch part for other exit device brands?
Rod and latch components do not cross brands, so match the device. For Falcon 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical rod devices (F-25-C and F-25-CWDC), the concealed top rod is the Falcon 610061. For Accentra 7110/7120 and 7110F devices, the top latch replacement components are the corresponding Accentra parts. The Von Duprin 8847-F serves the 55/88 Series and nothing else.
9) Can the Von Duprin 050457 top rod kit be used on a fire-rated opening?
The Von Duprin 050457 8847-F top rod kit carries a fire rating value of No, as do the Accentra 7110/7120 and 7110F top latch replacement components. For a labeled fire door assembly, confirm the complete device and all of its components are listed for that opening before substituting any rod or latch part.
10) My exit device problem is at the top latch, not the rod. What part do I actually need?
The Von Duprin 050457 8847-F is a top rod kit - it replaces the vertical rod running to the top of the door on a 55/88 Series device, not the latch itself. If the failure is in the top latch assembly on an Accentra device, the Accentra 7110/7120 exit device top latch replacement component (60-7010-0049-999) or the 7110F version (60-7010-0050-999) is the latch-level part. Diagnose whether the rod is bent or disconnected versus the latch failing to project before ordering.
11) We have a pair of doors with no vertical rods - do we need this top rod kit?
No. The Von Duprin 050457 8847-F top rod kit only applies where a 55/88 Series vertical rod device runs a rod to the top of the door. A double door pair using rim exit devices instead takes a mullion between the leaves - the Falcon 4023 steel mullion is the double door exit device mullion in that arrangement, with the Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers used to steady mullion installations. Those solve a pair-of-doors problem; the 8847-F solves a vertical rod problem.
12) Is a Falcon T Series deadlatch part an alternative to the Von Duprin 8847-F?
No - they address different hardware entirely. The Falcon 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part for Falcon T Series, a latch component. The Von Duprin 050457 8847-F is a top rod kit for 55/88 Series exit devices, covering the vertical rod run on door heights from 6 feet 8 inches to 8 feet. A deadlatch part will not restore a vertical rod exit device.
13) Does the Von Duprin 050457 include a cylinder or rim housing for keyed access?
The Von Duprin 050457 8847-F is a top rod kit only - a mechanical replacement rod component for 55/88 Series exit devices, offered in 626 satin chrome, 613 oil rubbed bronze and 605 bright brass. Keyed outside access is handled by separate cylinder hardware; for example, the Arrow 16RCR-27 is a 6/7-pin SFIC rim housing used in the Arrow 24/25 Series. Order cylinder hardware separately from the rod kit.
