Von Duprin 50369 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Von Duprin 050369 bottom rod connector actually do on a 55 Series exit device?
The 050369 is the bottom rod connector, supplied with its pin, that joins the bottom vertical rod to the exit device body on Von Duprin 55 Series surface vertical rod devices. The pin gives a positive mechanical connection so the rod stays in alignment and travels correctly each time the pushbar is operated. If your bottom rod is dropping out of adjustment, rattling loose, or the bottom latch isn't retracting with the device, the connector and pin are the parts that usually need replacing rather than the whole device.
2) Can I use the 050369 on a fire rated exit device opening?
No. The 050369 bottom rod connector carries no fire rating. On a labeled fire door assembly, every component in the exit device has to be part of the listed assembly, so use the fire-rated part specified for that device. For non-rated commercial openings, this is the correct 55 Series bottom rod connector.
3) Does the pin come with the 050369 connector or do I order it separately?
The pin is included. Ordering the 050369 gets you the bottom rod connector and the pin that locks it to the rod, so there is no second line item for the pin itself. What it does not include is the bottom rod, the bottom latch, or any strike hardware, so order those separately if the failure went further than the connection.
4) My exit device is not a Von Duprin 55 Series - what latch replacement parts are made for other brands?
The 050369 bottom rod connector is engineered specifically for Von Duprin 55 Series exit devices, so it should not be fitted to another manufacturer's device. For Accentra devices, the 60-7010-0049-999 is a top latch replacement component for the 7110/7120, and the 60-7010-0050-999 is the top latch replacement component for the 7110F. On Falcon T Series, the 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part. Match the part to the device series stamped on the existing chassis.
5) Is there a Von Duprin 050369 equivalent for a top rod instead of a bottom rod?
The Von Duprin 050369 is the bottom rod connector with pin for 55 Series exit devices, so it addresses the lower end of the vertical rod assembly only. If the worn component is at the head of the door on a concealed vertical rod device, the Falcon 610061 is a 24 Series Monarch concealed vertical top rod for F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices. That is a top rod for a different device family, not a 55 Series part, so confirm which device is on the door before ordering.
6) Is this a genuine Von Duprin part or an aftermarket copy?
It's a genuine Von Duprin replacement component, catalogued as part 050369 and built to Von Duprin's own commercial specifications for the 55 Series. For anyone maintaining factory hardware, or working where the building spec calls for original manufacturer parts, that matters: the fit and the pin engagement match what came out of the device.
7) Is this connector rated for a high traffic commercial door?
Yes, it's a Grade 1 part, which is the highest ANSI/BHMA commercial performance tier and what you'd expect on school corridors, hospital egress doors, office lobbies and warehouse exits. The 55 Series it serves is commercial hardware, not residential, so the connector is built for the cycle counts those openings see.
8) Can I use a mullion instead of replacing the rod connector on my vertical rod exit device?
No - those solve different problems. The Von Duprin 050369 is a replacement part that restores the mechanical connection in an existing 55 Series vertical rod assembly. A mullion is a separate double-door component: 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. Converting a pair of doors to a mullion arrangement is a redesign of the opening, not a repair of the device already installed.
9) Is the Von Duprin 050369 a fire-rated part, and are the alternatives any different?
The Von Duprin 050369 bottom rod connector carries a fire rating of No. The Accentra 7110/7120 top latch replacement component and the Accentra 7110F top latch replacement component are likewise listed with a fire rating of No. On a fire-rated opening, the labeled device assembly governs, so verify the device label and its parts list with the door's fire door assembly documentation before swapping components.
10) I need a cylinder housing for my rim exit device - will the 050369 work?
No. The Von Duprin 050369 is a bottom rod connector with pin, a mechanical linkage component in a 55 Series vertical rod assembly, and has nothing to do with keying or cylinders. For a small format interchangeable core rim housing, the Arrow 16RCR-27 is a 6/7-pin SFIC rim housing for the 24/25 Series. Locksmiths standardizing an SFIC keyway should specify the cylinder housing separately from any rod hardware.
11) Is this a repair part I can install myself, or does it need a locksmith?
It's a replacement part meant for professional installation in commercial door hardware. Swapping a bottom rod connector means taking the device or the rod cover off the door, setting rod length and latch engagement again afterward, and confirming the bottom latch throws fully into the threshold strike. A maintenance tech who has been inside a vertical rod device before can handle it; if the opening is on an egress path, have someone who can verify the device still latches and releases properly do the work.
