Von Duprin 9827EO-F 4 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does a surface vertical rod exit device work on a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes, that is the main reason to pick one. A surface vertical rod device latches into the head frame and the threshold rather than into a strike on the jamb, so a pair of doors can be secured with no center mullion and the full clear opening stays usable for carts and gurneys. A rim device on the same pair would need a mullion between the leaves. The 9827F latches with a 3/4 inch throw at each latch point.
2) Is the Von Duprin 9827F fire rated, and what standards does it meet?
Fire rated, and the F in 9827F is what marks it. It carries ANSI/UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104 fire ratings, plus ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132 for panic hardware, and it is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1. That combination is what a fire rated egress opening in a school, hospital, or government building needs.
3) Why does the 9827F come less dogging?
Because it is a fire rated device. Fire exit hardware cannot be mechanically dogged down, since the latches have to stay engaged to hold the door closed in a fire. That is why the 9827F is supplied less dogging. If you need to hold the latches retracted during business hours on a fire rated opening, you use electric latch retraction (EL or QEL) tied into the fire alarm rather than mechanical dogging.
4) What outside trim can I get with the Von Duprin 9827F?
Trim function is chosen at order. Options run exit only (EO) with no outside trim, night latch (NL) and night latch with optional pull (NL-OP), knob (K, K-BE, K-NL), lever (L, L-BE, L-KC, L-NL), thumbturn (TL, TL-BE), thumbpiece (TP, TP-BE), and dummy trim (DT). On any L trim you also pick the lever design: 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 17, or 18. Blank escutcheon versions (BE) have no cylinder, so pick those only where the outside is never keyed.
5) What is LBR (less bottom rod) and should I order it?
Less bottom rod deletes the lower rod and floor strike, so the device latches only at the head. It is the usual call in hospitals and schools where carts and gurneys beat up the bottom rod, and on openings with uneven floors or carpet. The 9827F is orderable with or without the bottom rod. Note that deleting the bottom rod on a fire rated opening has to be done with the correct fire labeled arrangement, and Von Duprin also offers vertical rod and latch guards if you want to keep the bottom rod and protect it instead.
6) I need a wood door - can I use the Von Duprin 9827F-4ft?
The 9827F-4ft is listed as not wood door compatible, though its fasteners are supplied for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick. If the opening is a fire rated wood door, the TownSteel EF9727 from the 9700 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile surface vertical rod device listed as wood door compatible at 36 inch by 84 inch. For non-rated wood openings, the TownSteel ED8927 wide stile and ED3727 narrow stile are both Grade 1 and both listed wood door compatible.
7) What is the closest fire-rated wide stile surface vertical rod exit device to the Von Duprin 9827F if I need another brand?
The Von Duprin 9827F-4ft is a Grade 1 fire-rated surface vertical rod device with a wide stile push pad. Two comparable fire-rated wide stile surface vertical rod devices are the Sargent 12-8710 in the 8700 Series and the TownSteel EF9727 from the 9700 Series, both Grade 1 and both fire rated. The TownSteel EF9727 is supplied as a 36 inch by 84 inch device and is listed as wood door compatible, while the Von Duprin 9827F-4ft is a 48 inch device. The Sargent 12-8710 is a dummy function device, so it does not latch and is used on the inactive side of a pair rather than as a functioning exit device.
8) The Von Duprin 9827F will not fit my aluminum storefront stile - what surface vertical rod device should I use instead?
The 9827F-4ft is a wide stile device with an 8 inch by 2-3/4 inch by 2-3/8 inch center case, which needs more stile face than a narrow aluminum storefront rail usually offers. Narrow stile surface vertical rod alternatives include the Adams Rite 8200 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 and crossbar-style ED7400, the Falcon 19-V-EO and 24-V-EO, and the TownSteel ED3727. If the opening is fire rated, the Arrow S1150 is a fire rated surface vertical rod device listed for narrow or wide stile applications on 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied exit only and less trim.
9) Do I have to specify handing on a Von Duprin 9827?
The device itself is non-handed, which keeps stock simple across a building. Handing still gets specified on the order because trim and certain options follow the hand, and the SD, SS, and WS options are handed. If you are ordering lever trim, the hand (RHR or LHR) determines which way the lever throws.
10) How do I meet the 5 lb ADA operating force with this exit device?
Specify the AX accessible option. The AX upgrade on the 9827 meets the 5 lb force requirement under 2010 ADA Chapters 404.2.7 and 30934 and 2013 California Building Code Chapter 11B-309.4. It is a yes/no selection made when you order, so add it up front if the opening is on an accessible route.
11) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 9827 and the 9927?
Mechanism case finish. The 9827 has a smooth mechanism case; the 9927 is the grooved case version. Function, ratings, and latching are the same family, so the choice is aesthetic matching to whatever else is already on the building's openings.
12) How much does the exit device stick out into the opening?
Projection is 3-13/16 inches off the door face, with a center case of 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches. Worth checking on tight corridors, against door openings that swing near a wall, and where the pair of doors has to clear each other on a double egress.
13) What electrified options can I add to a Von Duprin 9827F?
Access control options are field-configurable and ordered as suffixes. Switch choices include RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combined, WP-RX waterproof, RX-LC low current, RX-2 double RX, SS signal switch, and the ALK alarm kits (ALK, RX-ALK, LXRX-ALK). Latch retraction comes as EL, QEL quiet electric, or PN pneumatic. For delayed egress, the CX CHEXIT option meets NFPA and IBC requirements with a 15 second hold and nuisance alarm. Dogging indicators CDSI and HDSI are also available.
14) Can I get a push bar that works for visually impaired users or low light egress?
Yes, the bar itself is a choice on the 9827. Beyond the standard push pad you can order BR braille pushbar, KN knurled bar (the tactile warning surface used on doors to hazardous areas), RSS emergency exit push bar, or SG safety glow pushbar for low light egress paths. QM quiet mechanical is also a yes/no option where noise matters, such as a hospital corridor or a testing area.
15) Which surface vertical rod exit devices look like the Von Duprin 9827F but are not a fire-rated substitute?
Several Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices share the same form factor as the 9827F-4ft but are listed non-rated, so they cannot take its place on a fire door: the Adams Rite 8100 Series, the BEST Precision 2201 in the 2200 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED5400, the Falcon 20 Series and 25-V-EO, and the TownSteel ED8927. The TownSteel TS5100 and the Dexter ED2000 are Grade 2 rather than Grade 1 and also non-rated. If the drawing calls for a fire exit device, the Adams Rite 3100 Series is a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors and stays in the rated family.
16) I have to specify handing at order - are there reversible surface vertical rod devices instead?
The Von Duprin 9827F-4ft device itself is non-handed, and handing is selected because of the trim and option choices. If you want a device catalogued as reversible in the field, the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod device in exit only function, and the BEST Precision 5201 in the 5200 Series is a reversible surface vertical rod device, listed non-rated. The Orca OED56 is also non-handed, supplied exit only and less bottom rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, and is listed non-rated.
17) I want less bottom rod to keep the floor clear - does the Von Duprin 9827F do that or do I need another device?
The Von Duprin 9827F-4ft can be ordered with the LBR less bottom rod option, so you do not have to switch brands to eliminate the bottom rod and strike. Among comparable devices, the Orca OED56 is also catalogued less bottom rod, supplied exit only and non-handed for 1-3/4 inch doors, but it is listed non-rated, so it is not an option where the 9827F is specified for a fire door.
18) What finishes does the Von Duprin 9827F come in for matching the rest of my building?
Twelve finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 628 aluminum, 630 satin stainless steel, 643E aged bronze, 710 dark bronze anodized, and 711 flat black. For institutional corridors 630 satin stainless and 626 satin chrome are the common standards.
