Von Duprin 9849EO-F 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 9849F fit a 1-3/4 inch door, and does it work on thicker doors?
The 9849F is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, and that is the thickness the device itself is set up for. The fasteners in the box cover wood or metal doors from 1-3/4 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick, so a thicker door is a fastener question rather than a new device. Projection off the face of the door is 3-13/16 inches, which matters if the door swings into a corridor with a tight clear width.
2) Is the Von Duprin 9849F fire rated, and what standard is it listed to?
Fire rated, and listed to ANSI/UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104 for fire door assemblies. It is also certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1, plus ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132 for panic hardware. Practical consequence on a fire opening: a fire rated exit device latches every time the door closes, so hex key dogging cannot be used to hold the latches retracted on a rated door even though the mechanism supports it on non-rated openings.
3) Do I have to specify handing on a Von Duprin 9849 concealed vertical device?
In its standard configuration the 9849 concealed vertical cable device is non-handed, so the mechanism itself does not care about the swing. Handing only becomes a real specification when you pick SD special center case dogging or the SS signal switch. Lever trim is a separate matter, and the order does ask for RHR or LHR, so give the handing of the opening when you order even though the base device is reversible.
4) Should I use a concealed vertical rod exit device or a surface vertical rod on a pair of doors?
A concealed vertical cable device like the 9849F runs the latching hardware inside the door leaf, so nothing is exposed on the face and the top and bottom latches secure a pair with no center mullion. That is why it gets specified in schools and hospitals where the corridor look matters and the hardware gets abused. The trade off is service access: everything is inside the door, so the door has to be prepped for it and repairs mean opening the leaf. If you are retrofitting an existing door that was never prepped for concealed hardware, a surface vertical rod or a rim device with a removable mullion is the easier path.
5) Does the Von Duprin 9849 meet the 5 pound ADA operating force requirement?
Only with the AX accessible device option specified. AX is certified to 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 an order line item, yes or no, so if the opening is on an accessible route and your specification calls out the 5 pound maximum, AX has to be on the purchase order. The standard device without AX is not certified to that force.
6) Will a Von Duprin 9849 fit an aluminum storefront door?
No. The 9849 is a wide stile device with a center case measuring 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches, which needs the stile width of a hollow metal or wood commercial door. Aluminum storefront leaves have narrow stiles that will not accept it. For a narrow stile aluminum opening, the Adams Rite 8600 Series is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod device, and the Corbin Russwin ED4800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither of those two carries a fire rating in our record, so if the storefront opening is rated, that is a separate conversation.
7) My opening is not fire rated. Do I still need the F version of the Von Duprin 9849?
No, and there is a reason to think about it. On a non rated opening the fire listing buys you nothing, and it costs you dogging, since a fire rated device latches on every close. If you want the door pushed free during traffic hours, a non rated concealed vertical rod device is the better fit. The DORMA 9100 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod pushpad for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, non fire rated, and the Adams Rite 8500 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile non rated concealed vertical rod for hollow metal doors.
8) Which concealed vertical rod exit devices should I not order for a fire-rated opening?
Several concealed vertical rod devices that otherwise look interchangeable with the Von Duprin 9849F-3ft are not fire rated and cannot go on a fire door assembly. The Adams Rite 8500 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors with a Fire Rating of No. The DORMA 9100 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device, also not fire rated. The DORMA 9600BB is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device explicitly identified as non fire rated. Grade 1 and a matching stile do not carry the fire label; the label is a separate listing, and the 9849F-3ft holds it.
9) The 9849F is wide stile - what concealed vertical rod device fits a narrow stile aluminum door instead?
The Von Duprin 9849F-3ft is a wide stile device, so on a narrow stile aluminum or storefront door the substitute is a narrow stile chassis. The Adams Rite 8600 Series is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device built for aluminum doors. The Corbin Russwin ED4800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, and the ED7800 is the narrow stile crossbar version accepting operator trim. Falcon offers narrow stile exit-only devices in 36 inch (24-C Series), 3 ft (1690EO), and 44 inch (1990EO) lengths, all Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors. Stile width governs here: the 9849F center case is 8 inch x 2-3/4 inch x 2-3/8 inch and needs the wider rail.
10) Will the 3/4 inch latch throw work with my existing strikes?
Latch throw on the 9849F is 3/4 inch at both the top and bottom latch points. On a pair or single with concealed vertical latching, that means the head strike and the threshold or floor strike have to be set to engage that 3/4 inch of bolt, and the door has to close square enough for both to catch. If your existing frame was prepped for surface rod hardware the strike locations rarely carry over, so plan on the strikes that come with the device rather than reusing what is in the frame.
11) What trim functions can I get with the Von Duprin 9849, and what is the difference between them?
Thirteen trim functions are offered: exit only, night latch, night latch with optional pull, dummy trim, knob, knob with blank escutcheon, knob night latch, lever, lever with blank escutcheon, lever key capture, lever night latch, thumbpiece, and thumbpiece with blank escutcheon. Exit only means egress from the inside with no outside operation, which is what most inactive leaves get. Night latch gives key retraction from the outside with no lever. Lever or knob trim is what you specify when the outside has to be operable for classroom, storeroom, or passage use. If you pick an L lever function, you also choose the lever design: 06 is the default, with 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 17, and 18 also available.
12) Can I hold the doors unlatched during the day with a Von Duprin 9849F?
Hex key dogging is the standard configuration, and on a non rated opening it holds the latch retracted so the door pushes free during high traffic hours. On the fire rated F version, dogging is not usable on a rated assembly because the door must latch on every close. If you want the door held open during business hours on a rated opening, that is an electromagnetic hold open tied to the fire alarm, not the device. Other dogging choices at order time include CD cylinder dogging, CDSI cylinder dogging with security indicator, HDSI hex dogging with security indicator, SD special center case dogging, DI dogging indicator, CI cylinder dogging indicator, and LD less dogging.
13) How do I get a Von Duprin 9849 to work with a card reader or access control system?
Two separate decisions. For remote unlocking, specify electric latch retraction: EL, QEL quiet electric latch retraction, or PN pneumatic. QEL is the quiet version, which is what gets picked in hospitals and any opening near occupied space. For monitoring and signalling back to the panel, add a switch: RX request to exit, LX latch bolt monitor, LX-RX for both, RX-2 double request to exit, RX-LC low current, WP-RX waterproof, or SS signal switch. Alarm kits are available as ALK, RX-ALK, and LXRX-ALK. Note that choosing SS makes the device handed, so give the swing on that order.
14) Can I add delayed egress to a Von Duprin 9849F later, or does it have to be ordered that way?
The CX CHEXIT delayed egress upgrade is one of the field configurable options for the 9849F, along with CDSI and HDSI security dogging indicators, QEL, RX and LX switches, the AX accessible upgrade, and the XP two piece latchbolt. CX holds the door for 15 seconds after a request to exit while a nuisance alarm sounds, meeting the NFPA and IBC delayed egress requirements. Because the field kits exist, an opening whose security requirement changes after installation does not necessarily mean a new device.
15) What is a comparable fire rated wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device from another brand?
Closest peers we carry are the Sargent 12-MD8613, a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile concealed vertical rod in classroom function, and the Adams Rite 3600 Series and 3900 Series, both Grade 1 fire rated wide stile concealed vertical rod devices for hollow metal doors, with the 3900 carrying a 1-1/2 hour rating. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors in exit only or trim accepting form. Where the 9849F differs is the concealed vertical cable mechanism and the depth of field options behind it, so if a building is already standardized on Von Duprin trim and keying, staying in the 98/99 Series keeps the parts common.
16) What is a simpler exit-only alternative if I do not need lever or knob trim on the outside?
The Von Duprin 9849F-3ft supports a full trim range including Lever, Knob, Thumbpiece, Night Latch, and Dummy Trim functions. If the opening needs no outside operation, the Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors in exit only form that will also accept trim later. The CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed wide stile concealed vertical rod panic device in exit only function, and the 1285 push pad version fits narrow, medium, or wide stile in exit only. Note that those CRL Jackson devices are panic devices; for a fire-rated assembly the 9849F-3ft is the one carrying the fire rating.
17) Is there a concealed vertical rod exit device for a wood door as an alternative to the Von Duprin 9849F?
The Von Duprin 9849F-3ft ships with fasteners for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick, so it covers wood openings directly. If a different chassis is preferred, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod exit device specified for wood doors. The BEST Precision 2801 Series is the wide stile concealed vertical rod device in the 2800 Series, and the 2601 Series is the narrow stile exit only non-handed version. The 9849F-3ft itself is non-handed in standard configuration, with handing applying only when SD special dogging or SS signal switch is selected.
18) What is the difference between the Adams Rite 3600 and 3900 concealed vertical rod devices when cross-shopping the Von Duprin 9849F?
Both Adams Rite series are fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod exit devices, the same class as the Von Duprin 9849F-3ft. The 3600 Series is specified for hollow metal doors. The 3900 Series is described with a 1-1/2 hour rating, which is the detail to check against the door assembly label on the drawing. The 9849F-3ft is a Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors with a 3/4 inch latch throw and a 3-13/16 inch projection, the numbers to compare when the frame or corridor clearance is tight.
19) Which concealed vertical rod devices cover doors thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Von Duprin 9849F-3ft is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors and ships with fasteners covering wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick. Among peers, the DORMA 9100 Series wide stile pushpad and the DORMA 9600BB narrow stile pushpad both list a door thickness range of 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both DORMA devices are non fire rated, so on a labeled opening the 9849F-3ft is the one that holds the fire listing.
20) Can I standardize a school on one concealed vertical rod exit device across fire and non-fire openings?
Standardizing on the Von Duprin 9849F-3ft covers both, since it is Grade 1 and fire rated and can be applied to any 36 inch wide stile 1-3/4 inch opening regardless of whether the assembly is labeled. Peers split the two: the Sargent 12-MD8613 and Adams Rite 3600 and 3900 are fire-rated wide stile Grade 1 devices, while the Adams Rite 8500 and DORMA 9100 are Grade 1 wide stile devices without a fire rating. Choosing a fire-rated chassis as the facility standard means one part number, one keying plan, and one finish across the corridor.
21) What finishes does the Von Duprin 9849 come in for matching the rest of a building's hardware?
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 usual standardization picks because they hide wear and match most existing commercial trim. If you are matching openings already installed, order by the BHMA number rather than the finish name, since brand names for the same number vary.
22) Can I get a Von Duprin 9849 push bar with braille or a glow strip for a stairwell?
Yes. Beyond the standard bar, the push bar can be ordered as BR braille pushbar, KN knurled bar, RSS emergency exit push bar, or SG safety glow pushbar. Knurled bars are the traditional tactile warning on a door leading to a hazardous area, and the safety glow bar is what gets specified for stairwells and egress paths where the lights may be out. The bar choice is made at order time, so decide it with the finish.
23) What is the QM quiet mechanical option on the Von Duprin 9849 for?
QM quiet mechanical is a yes or no selection that reduces the noise the device makes when it operates. It is the mechanical counterpart to specifying QEL instead of EL on the electric latch retraction side. In hospitals, libraries, testing centers, and any opening next to occupied space, the slam of a standard panic device is a real complaint, and QM is the answer to it on an otherwise standard mechanical device.
24) I need a dummy trim concealed vertical rod device for the inactive leaf - what works alongside a Von Duprin 9849F?
The Von Duprin 9849F-3ft offers DT Dummy Trim as one of its trim functions, so a matched pair can be built from the same series and finished alike across the 605 Bright Brass through 711 Flat Black range. If a narrow stile leaf is involved, the Falcon 1491DT is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device in Dummy function for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied with a 9970 pull at 42 inches. Match the stile width to the leaf before pairing, since the 9849F-3ft is a wide stile device.
