Von Duprin 9448/9548 Impact Series Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device with Recessed Push Pad for Wide Stile Doors

Low-Profile INPACT Exit Solution for High-Traffic Commercial Openings

The Von Duprin 9448/9548 Impact Series Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device is engineered for demanding, high-traffic environments where door protection and smooth egress are critical. Featuring fully recessed push pads integrated within the door, the 94 and 95 Series reduce projection and minimize potential obstruction, protecting the door from impact and abuse. Sized at 48" and built for wide stile doors, this non-handed device is compatible with hollow metal doors and is commonly deployed in hospitals and other facilities where building openings must accommodate high volumes of people and equipment. The 94 Series features a smooth mechanism case, while the 95 Series features a grooved mechanism case, offering design flexibility within the same functional platform.

Von Duprin 9448-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) If the 9448/9548 is non-handed, why do I have to pick LHR or RHR when ordering?
The device chassis itself is non-handed, so the exit device body works either direction. Handing still has to be specified because the trim and the strike side of the opening are handed: you select LHR (left hand reverse) or RHR (right hand reverse) on the order. If you are ordering EO exit only with no trim, handing still governs how the opening is dressed, so get it off the door swing before you order.
2) Do I need a mullion to use this exit device on a pair of doors?
No. A concealed vertical rod device latches into the head frame and at the threshold through rods hidden inside the door, so it secures a pair with no center mullion and leaves the full clear opening for gurneys, carts and equipment. That is why the 94/95 Series shows up on hospital corridors. A rim device would need a removable mullion between the leaves to do the same job.
3) What does the LBR option do on a Von Duprin 9448, and when should I order it?
LBR is less bottom rod: the device ships without the lower rod and bottom latch, so it latches only at the head. Order it where floor conditions get in the way, carpet transitions, uneven floors, drains, or where a bottom latch would be a trip and cleaning problem, which is common in healthcare. You give up the second latching point, so it is a non-rated-opening choice, which suits this device since it is not fire rated. Both LBR and standard top-and-bottom configurations are orderable.
4) Can the 9448/9548 be tied into an access control system?
Yes. Order it with QEL, quiet electric latch retraction, and the latches pull back electrically so a card reader or push button can release the opening without the noise of a solenoid slam. You can also add LX latch bolt monitoring to report latch position back to the panel. Both are ordering options on the device, so specify them up front rather than retrofitting.
5) What is the closest wide stile concealed vertical rod alternative to the Von Duprin 9448/9548 if I need a fire rated opening?
The Von Duprin 9448/9548 Impact Series is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device that is not fire rated, so it should not go on a labeled opening. For a fire rated wide stile concealed vertical rod, the Adams Rite 3600 Series is Grade 1, wide stile and fire rated, and the Adams Rite 3900 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile device carrying a 1-1/2 hour rating. On the Sargent side, the 12-MD8613 is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile concealed vertical rod in a classroom function if you need keyed outside trim on the labeled door.
6) Which wide stile pushpad concealed vertical rod devices are the direct competitors to the Von Duprin 9448/9548?
The 9448/9548 is a Grade 1 non-handed pushpad concealed vertical rod for wide stile doors with hex key dogging. Comparable wide stile pushpad devices include the DORMA 9100 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile pushpad device for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches and non fire rated; the Corbin Russwin ED5800, a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors available exit only or accepting trim; and the Adams Rite 8500 Series, a Grade 1 non fire rated wide stile device for hollow metal doors. The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod for 36 by 84 metal doors with hex dogging and lever trim.
7) What is the difference between the 94 Series and the 95 Series?
Only the look of the mechanism case. The 94 Series has a smooth case, the 95 Series has a grooved case. Function, wide stile sizing, options and trim are the same across both, so pick whichever matches the rest of the hardware in the building.
8) What outside trim options come with the Von Duprin 9448/9548?
Six trim functions: EO exit only with no outside trim, DT dummy trim (550DT), TL thumbturn key (550DT x 376T), L lever (940L), L-BE blank escutcheon lever (940L-BE), and L-DT dummy lever (940L-DT). If you choose an L trim you also pick the lever style, with 06 as the default and 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 17 and 18 also available. Exit only is the right call for a stair discharge or a pure egress door where nobody comes back in through it.
9) Can I hold this exit device unlocked during business hours?
Yes. The 9448/9548 comes with hex key dogging, so you depress the push pad and set it with the hex wrench to hold the latches retracted and leave the door push-pull for the day. Dogging is only permitted on non-rated openings, which is what this device is built for.
10) Why choose a recessed push pad device over a standard surface exit device?
The push pad on the 94/95 Series sits recessed into the door rather than projecting off the face, so there is less to catch a cart, a bed or a shoulder, and the door itself takes less abuse. Sloped die-cast endcaps deflect impact instead of shearing off. That is the trade: less projection and longer life in a corridor that gets hit all day, against the simpler install of a surface-mounted device.
11) I have wood doors - does the Von Duprin 9448/9548 work, or is there a better concealed vertical rod?
The 9448/9548 Impact Series is described for hollow metal doors in wide stile applications. For a wood door opening, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device specified for wood doors. The BEST Precision 2801 Series is another wide stile concealed vertical rod in that family if you are standardizing on Precision hardware.
12) I only need exit only, no outside trim - is there a simpler option than the Von Duprin 9448/9548?
The 9448/9548 can be ordered EO exit only with no trim, but if you want a dedicated exit only device the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed concealed vertical rod panic device in an exit only function for wide stile doors, and the CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod is exit only and fits narrow, medium or wide stile. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is also offered exit only for wide stile 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) The Von Duprin 9448/9548 is a pushpad - what if the specification calls for a crossbar device?
The 9448/9548 Impact Series uses a recessed push pad, not a crossbar. If the drawing calls for a crossbar concealed vertical rod, the Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 crossbar concealed vertical rod for narrow stile 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim. Note that it is a narrow stile device, so confirm the stile width before substituting it for a wide stile opening.
14) I need electric latch retraction and latch monitoring on a concealed vertical rod device - which one should I specify?
The Von Duprin 9448/9548 Impact Series is ordered with QEL quiet electric latch retraction and with LX latch bolt monitoring as selectable options, plus an LBR less bottom rod option, which makes it a straightforward pick when the device has to tie into access control. Among the wide stile alternatives, the Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod with hex dogging and lever trim, and the DORMA 9100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile pushpad device, both worth reviewing if you are matching an existing brand standard on the building.
15) What finishes can I get to match the other exit devices in my building?
Eight finishes across the 94/95 Series: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 628 aluminum anodized, 710 dark bronze anodized and 711 flat black. 626 satin chrome and 628 aluminum anodized are the usual commercial matches if you are standardizing a facility.
16) Is there an antimicrobial version for a hospital or school?
Yes, the 94/95 Series is offered with an optional antimicrobial coating for hygiene-sensitive spaces such as hospitals, clinics and schools. It is a coating option on the device, so call it out when you place the order rather than expecting it on a standard unit.
