Von Duprin 9850WDCEO 3 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the 9850WDC fit a 36 inch wood door, and what door thickness does it need?
It is built for a 36 inch door leaf and a 1-3/4 inch thick door, which is the standard commercial thickness. Mounting fasteners ship in the box for wood or metal doors at 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch. The push pad is wide stile, so the door needs enough stile face to carry an 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inch center case. On a narrow stile aluminum or glass front door this is the wrong device; the Adams Rite 8600 Series or the Corbin Russwin ED4800 are narrow stile concealed vertical rod options.
2) Can concealed vertical rod hardware secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes, that is the main reason to pick it. A concealed vertical rod device latches into the head frame and the threshold rather than into a strike on the adjacent leaf, so a pair of wood doors gets a clear opening with no center mullion in the way. The rods and cable run inside the door, so nothing hangs on the face. If you would rather keep a mullion and prefer the simplest install and service access, a rim device on a removable mullion is the alternative. Concealed hardware needs the door to be prepped for it, which is why the 9850WDC is normally specified with the door order.
3) Is the 9850WDC handed, and when do I have to state the hand?
In its standard build it is non-handed, so one device covers either swing. Handing becomes a required choice with certain options: SD special center case dogging and SS signal switch both need a specific hand. Order handing as RHR or LHR when you take one of those. If you are ordering plain with hex key dogging, the hand does not change the part.
4) Does the 9850WDC come with outside trim, or do I order that separately?
Trim function is part of how you specify the device. Exit only (EO) gives you no outside operation at all. Otherwise you pick from knob, lever, thumbpiece, night latch, key capture, dummy trim and blank escutcheon variants: DT, K, K-BE, K-DT, K-NL, L, L-BE, L-DT, L-KC, L-NL, NL, NL-OP, TP and TP-BE. If you take an L lever function, you also choose the lever design from 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 17 or 18, with 06 as the default. Night latch functions need a cylinder, so plan a mortise cylinder into the order.
5) Does the 9850WDC meet the 5 pound ADA operating force requirement?
Only with the AX accessible device option, which is certified to the 5 lb force requirements of 2010 ADA Chapters 404.2.7 and 30934 and the 2013 California Building Code Chapter 11B-309.4. AX is a yes or no selection when you configure the device, so it has to be specified up front rather than added later at the door.
6) Can I tie this exit device into access control or an alarm system?
Yes, and the electrical options are chosen at order time. For monitoring, RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combination, RX-2 double RX, RX-LC low current, WP-RX waterproof and SS signal switch are available. For remote unlocking, EL electric latch retraction, QEL quiet electric latch retraction or PN pneumatic retraction. Alarm kits come as ALK, RX-ALK or LXRX-ALK. For delayed egress, the CX CHEXIT option meets NFPA and IBC delayed egress requirements with a 15 second hold and nuisance alarm. Retrofit kits exist to add technology later.
7) The 9850WDC-3ft is not fire rated - what concealed vertical rod exit device should I use on a fire rated opening?
Go to a device listed as fire rated. The Adams Rite 3900 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device carrying a 1-1/2 hour rating, and the Adams Rite 3600 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors. The Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device in classroom function. The Von Duprin 9850WDC-3ft carries Grade 1 but no fire rating.
8) What is the closest wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device to the Von Duprin 9850WDC-3ft for a wood door?
The BEST Precision 2701 Series is the nearest peer for wood door work - it is a wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device described as reversible for wood doors, matching the 9850WDC-3ft's wide stile, non-handed wood door application. The Von Duprin remains a Grade 1 device with a 3/4 inch latch throw and an 8 inch x 2-3/4 inch x 2-3/8 inch center case on doors 1-3/4 inch thick.
9) My opening is a narrow stile aluminum door, not wood - what replaces the 9850WDC-3ft there?
The 9850WDC-3ft is a wide stile device and will not suit a narrow aluminum stile. The Adams Rite 8600 Series is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device for aluminum doors, non-fire rated and Grade 1. Other narrow stile options include the Corbin Russwin ED4800 Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors and the DORMA 9600BB, a 36 inch non-fire-rated Grade 1 narrow stile pushpad device.
10) Can I hold the exit device latched open during business hours?
Yes. Hex key dogging is standard, so staff can depress the push pad and dog it down with a hex wrench for free push-pull traffic. If you want key control over that instead, CD cylinder dogging is an option, and CDSI or CI add a visible indicator so anyone can see at a glance whether the door is dogged. HDSI pairs the indicator with hex dogging. LD less dogging is there when the facility does not want the doors held latched open at all.
11) How do I tell a Von Duprin 9850WDC from a 9950WDC?
The difference is the case cover. The 9850WDC has a smooth mechanism case measuring 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches; the 9950WDC uses a grooved case. Function, Grade 1 rating and mounting are the same, so it is an appearance choice, usually driven by matching whatever is already installed on the rest of the building.
12) How far does the exit device stick out into the opening, and will 3/4 inch latch throw engage my strikes?
Projection off the door face is 3-13/16 inches, which matters where the door swings into a corridor with a clearance requirement or near a wall return. The latchbolts throw 3/4 inch into the head and floor strikes. Since the rods are concealed, the door and frame have to be prepped for the top strike and either a floor strike or a bottom fitting, so confirm that prep exists before ordering.
13) What are my options if I need a wide stile concealed vertical rod device from another brand to match an existing building standard?
Several wide stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod devices sit in the same slot. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is wide stile Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only or accepting trim. The DORMA 9100 Series is a heavy duty wide stile pushpad device, non fire rated, with a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Adams Rite 8500 Series is a non fire rated wide stile device for hollow metal doors. BEST Precision has the 2701 Series, wide stile reversible for wood doors, and the 2801 Series wide stile. Which one you pick usually comes down to what is already on the other openings.
14) Is there a wide stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device that covers thicker doors than the 9850WDC-3ft?
The DORMA 9100 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device with a door thickness range of 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Von Duprin 9850WDC-3ft is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, and its fasteners are supplied for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick.
15) I only need exit only egress with no outside trim - is there a simpler alternative to the 9850WDC-3ft?
Yes. The Falcon 24-C Series is a Grade 1 exit only concealed vertical rod device at 36 inches, narrow stile, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon 1690EO is a 3 ft narrow stile exit only Grade 1 device. The CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed wide stile concealed vertical rod panic device in exit only function. The 9850WDC-3ft itself is offered in an EO exit only trim function alongside knob, lever, thumbpiece and night latch options.
16) I want a crossbar look instead of the push pad on the 9850WDC-3ft - what concealed vertical rod device offers that?
The Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only and accepting operator trim. The Von Duprin 9850WDC-3ft is a push pad device, with bar choices limited to variations on the pad such as knurled, Braille and safety glow.
17) Which concealed vertical rod exit devices besides the 9850WDC-3ft come with hex dogging?
The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a heavy duty Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device for metal doors at 36 inches by 84 inches with hex dogging. The Von Duprin 9850WDC-3ft is hex key dogging as standard, with cylinder dogging, dogging indicator and less-dogging configurations available instead.
18) What non-handed concealed vertical rod exit devices can I consider alongside the 9850WDC-3ft?
The BEST Precision 2601 Series is a non-handed narrow stile concealed vertical rod device in exit only configuration, and the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed wide stile panic device. The Von Duprin 9850WDC-3ft is non-handed in its standard configuration, though SD special center case dogging and SS signal switch options do require a hand.
19) What finishes does the Von Duprin 9850WDC come in for matching existing 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 and 626 are the usual standards; 711 and 710 are the common picks on darker storefront and modern interiors.
20) Are there push bar options for visually impaired users or dark egress paths?
Yes. Beyond the standard bar, you can specify BR braille push bar, KN knurled bar (a tactile warning surface), SG safety glow push bar for low light and dark corridors, or RSS emergency exit push bar. Bar option is a required selection, so it gets locked in when the device is built.
21) Is the 9850WDC quiet enough for a library or patient care corridor?
Two options address noise. QM quiet mechanical is a yes or no selection that reduces the mechanical noise of the device operating, and QEL is the quiet version of electric latch retraction if the opening is also on access control. Both have to be specified when the device is ordered.
