Von Duprin 9849EO-F 4 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 9849F fit a 1-3/4 inch door, and what about thicker doors?
The 9849F is built for 1-3/4 inch doors. Fasteners ship in the box for both wood and metal doors at 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thickness, so mounting hardware is covered if you hit a 2-1/4 inch leaf, but the published door thickness for the device is 1-3/4 inch. Projection off the face of the door is 3-13/16 inches, which matters if the door swings past a wall or into a corridor clear width.
2) Is the 9849F exit device fire rated, and can I dog it down?
It is fire rated, listed to ANSI/UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1. That rating is why dogging is a limitation, not a feature: the device ships with hex key dogging, but mechanical dogging cannot be used on a fire door because the latch must project on every closing. If you want the holdback to be usable, you need a non-fire-rated device instead. On a rated opening, order it and leave the dogging alone, or specify LD (less dogging).
3) Is this device handed, or can I use the same part on both leaves of a pair?
The 9849F is non-handed as standard, so one device covers either leaf. Two options break that: SD (special center case dogging) and SS (signal switch) make the device handed, and handing must be given as RHR or LHR when either is specified. If you are stocking spares for a building, the plain device with hex dogging is the one to keep on the shelf.
4) Will a concealed vertical rod exit device latch a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. A concealed vertical rod device latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a strike on the jamb, so a pair of doors secures with no center mullion and the full opening stays clear when both leaves are open. That is the main reason to pick this over a rim device, which needs a removable mullion on a pair. Latch throw on the 9849F is 3/4 inch at top and bottom.
5) Can the 9849F be tied into an access control system?
Yes, and the electric options are ordered with the device rather than added later in the field without planning. Switch choices include RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combination, WP-RX waterproof, RX-LC low current, RX-2 double RX, SS signal switch, and ALK alarm kits with or without RX or LX-RX. For remote unlocking, latch retraction is available as EL electric, QEL quiet electric, or PN pneumatic. Dogging can also be specified with a security indicator using CDSI or HDSI.
6) Does this exit device meet the 5 pound ADA operating force requirement?
Only if you order it with the AX accessible option. 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. The standard device is not the AX device, so on an opening where an inspector is checking operating force, specify AX at the time of order.
7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Von Duprin 9849F fire rated concealed vertical rod exit device?
The 9849F-4FT is a Grade 1, fire rated, wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device with a push pad. The closest wide stile fire rated peers are the Adams Rite 3600 Series and the Adams Rite 3900 Series, both Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod devices with a fire rating, and the Sargent 12-MD8613, a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile concealed vertical rod device in classroom function. The Adams Rite 3600 is built for hollow metal doors and the 3900 carries a 1-1/2 hour rating. Where the 9849F differs is that it is non-handed except with SD or SS options and ships with fasteners for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick.
8) My opening is an aluminum storefront door with a narrow stile - what concealed vertical rod device should I use instead of the 9849F?
The 9849F-4FT is a wide stile device, so it is not the right choice for a narrow stile aluminum door. For narrow stile openings, the Adams Rite 8600 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device specifically for aluminum doors. Other narrow stile Grade 1 options include the Corbin Russwin ED4800, which fits 1-3/4 inch doors and accepts trim, the Corbin Russwin ED7800 with a crossbar actuator rather than a push pad, and the Falcon 1690EO and 1990EO exit only devices. Note that the Adams Rite 8600 is not fire rated, so confirm the opening's rating requirement before specifying it.
9) Why choose concealed vertical rod instead of surface vertical rod?
Concealed rods run inside the door, so nothing is exposed to be kicked, grabbed, or vandalized, and the door face stays clean. That suits schools, hospitals and government buildings where abuse is the problem. The tradeoff is prep: the door has to be manufactured or factory-prepped for concealed rods, which makes surface vertical rod the practical retrofit when you are putting a device on an existing door that has no internal raceway. The 9849F is the concealed version with a smooth case and a wide stile push pad.
10) What outside trim options can I order with the 9849F?
Thirteen trim functions are available: exit only, dummy trim, night latch, night latch with optional pull, 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. If you pick any L lever function you also choose the lever design, from 06 (default), 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 17 or 18. Exit only means no outside operation at all, which is the usual choice on the inactive side of a stair or exit discharge door.
11) I need a delayed egress door. Can this device do a 15 second delay?
The 9849F takes the CX CHEXIT delayed egress upgrade, which holds the door secure for 15 seconds after a request to exit while a nuisance alarm sounds, meeting NFPA and IBC delayed egress requirements. That is the configuration to specify for memory care wings, behavioral health units, and retail loss prevention doors where free egress has to be delayed rather than blocked.
12) How much room does the center case of the 9849F need on the door face?
The center case measures 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches, and the device projects 3-13/16 inches from the door. Use those numbers when you are checking clearance against a door pull on the opposite leaf, a vision light frame, or a wall the door swings against. The case is the smooth 9849 mechanism case, so there is no exposed rod or link along the door face.
13) The opening is not fire rated - is there a simpler wide stile concealed vertical rod device than the 9849F?
Yes. The 9849F-4FT carries a fire rating and the full 98/99 Series option ecosystem. If the opening does not require a rated device, the Adams Rite 8500 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors with no fire rating, and the DORMA 9100 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device, also non fire rated, that covers doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The 9849F itself is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. Remember that a fire rated device cannot be dogged in a fire application, so if you want hex key dogging held open on a non-rated opening the unrated peers are the direct path.
14) Which concealed vertical rod exit devices look like a substitute for the 9849F but are not?
A few. The Falcon 1491DT is a dummy trim device with a 9970 pull, so it has no latching function at all and cannot replace a live exit device. The CRL Jackson 1085 and 1285 are exit only concealed vertical rod panic devices, meaning they do not accept the keyed and lever outside trim functions the 9849F offers such as L-NL night latch or L-KC key capture. The BEST Precision 2601 is likewise exit only and narrow stile. And the Corbin Russwin ED7800 uses a crossbar rather than the push pad style of the 9849F, which changes the look on the door face.
15) I need a wide stile concealed vertical rod device for a wood door instead of the 9849F on metal - what are my options?
The 9849F-4FT ships with fasteners for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick, so it is not limited to metal. If you want a different brand on a wood opening, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod exit device built for wood doors. The BEST Precision 2801 Series is also a wide stile concealed vertical rod device. For metal door openings specifically, the Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod device sized for 36 inch by 84 inch metal doors with hex dogging, matching the hex key dogging the 9849F carries as standard.
16) Is there a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod alternative to the 9849F that accepts outside trim?
Yes. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, offered exit only or accepting trim, which lines up with the 9849F's 1-3/4 inch door thickness and its range of trim functions including knob, lever, thumbpiece and night latch. The Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device in classroom function if the opening calls for that specific keyed function rather than the trim selections offered on the 9849F.
17) What finishes does the 9849F come in for matching the rest of a 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 626 and 630 are the usual standards; 628 aluminum is the match for clear anodized storefront.
18) Are there push bar options besides the standard pad for visually impaired or emergency-only use?
Five bar choices: standard bar, BR braille pushbar, KN knurled bar, RSS emergency exit push bar, and SG safety glow pushbar. Knurled and braille bars are the tactile warning options used where a door leads to a hazardous area, and the safety glow bar helps in smoke or power loss conditions on egress routes.
