Von Duprin 9947EO-F 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the 9947F fire rated, and can I dog it down during business hours?
It's fire rated and supplied less dogging, which is exactly right for a fire door. Fire-rated openings can't have the latch held retracted mechanically, so no hex or cylinder dogging is offered. If you need the door to push-pull freely during the day on a fire opening, the legal way to do it is electric latch retraction (EL or QEL) tied to your fire alarm so the latches project on alarm.
2) Do I have to specify a hand when ordering the 9947F?
The device itself is non-handed, but handing is still a required selection (RHR or LHR) because trim and certain options follow the hand. The SD and SS options are the exceptions that make the device handed. Get the hand off the egress side of the door before you place the order.
3) What does LBR mean on the 9947F order, and when do I need it?
LBR is less bottom rod. You drop the bottom rod and latch so the device latches only at the head, which keeps the sill clear of a floor strike where flooring, thresholds, or debris are a problem. On a fire rated pair, the second leaf uses LBR-AFL, which adds the auxiliary fire pin required to keep the inactive leaf secured in a fire. Both are selectable when you configure the device.
4) What is the closest alternative to the Von Duprin 9947F from another brand?
For a wide stile fire rated concealed vertical rod device, the Adams Rite 3600 Series and the Sargent 12-MD8613 are both Grade 1, fire rated, wide stile CVR devices. The Adams Rite 3900 Series carries a 1-1/2 hour rating. If the opening is aluminum storefront with a narrow stile, none of those apply and you want the Adams Rite 8600 Series or the Corbin Russwin ED4800 instead.
5) My door is wood - can I still use a 9947F, and what concealed vertical rod device works if not?
The 9947F is not wood door compatible; it is built for single or double metal doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness. For a wood door, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood doors. Confirm the fire rating you need with the opening, since the 9947F itself is the fire-rated choice on metal.
6) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Von Duprin 9947F concealed vertical rod exit device on a fire-rated hollow metal door?
The Von Duprin 9947F is a Grade 1, fire-rated, wide stile concealed vertical rod device. The closest cross-brand matches on those same points are the Sargent 12-MD8613, a Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile concealed vertical rod device in classroom function, and the Adams Rite 3600 Series, a Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors. The Adams Rite 3900 Series is also Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile and carries a 1-1/2 hour rating. Confirm function and trim separately, since the 9947F is ordered with a trim function ranging from exit only through lever, knob, thumbpiece and night latch.
7) The opening is an aluminum storefront door with a narrow stile - what concealed vertical rod device should I use instead of the 9947F?
The 9947F is a wide stile device, so it does not suit a narrow stile aluminum door. Narrow stile concealed vertical rod options include the Adams Rite 8600 Series, made for aluminum doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4800, a Grade 1 narrow stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon 1690EO in 3 ft and the Falcon 24-C in 36 inch, both Grade 1 narrow stile exit only. The Dormakaba 9600BB is a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile pushpad device.
8) Concealed vertical rod or surface vertical rod on a fire rated pair?
Concealed rod, like the 9947F, runs the rods inside the door, so nothing is exposed to abuse and the opening looks clean. That requires a door prepped for CVR from the factory. Surface vertical rod is the one to pick when you're retrofitting an existing door that has no concealed prep, since it mounts to the face. Both latch at the head and the sill, so either secures a pair without a mullion.
9) Will the 9947F latch into the strike already in my frame?
The device delivers a 3/4 inch latch throw at the top latch. Compare that against the depth of the existing head strike pocket and the rod travel of whatever device is coming off the door. Fasteners come with it for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 and 2-1/4 inches thick, so mounting hardware isn't a separate line item.
10) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 9947 and the 9847?
Mechanically they're the same device. The 9947 is the 99 Series with a grooved mechanism case; the 9847 is the 98 Series with a smooth case. It's an architectural choice, so match whichever case style is already on the other openings in the building.
11) Can I get access control signals and delayed egress on this exit device?
Yes on both. Switch options include RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combined, RX-2, WP-RX waterproof, RX-LC low current, SS signal switch, and ALK alarm kit variants. For delayed egress, the CX (CHEXIT) upgrade gives a 15 second delay with nuisance alarm and meets NFPA and IBC delayed egress requirements. Latch retraction is available as EL, QEL, or PN pneumatic.
12) Is the 9947F tough enough for a school or hospital corridor?
It's certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1, the top commercial rating for exit devices, on a heavy wide stile push pad case built for high-use, high-abuse traffic. Listings include ANSI/UL 10C and ANSI/UL 305 plus CAN/ULC-S104 and CAN/ULC-S132 for Canadian jobs. Standardizing on the 98/99 Series across a campus also means retrofit kits (QEL, RX, LX, security dogging indicators) can be added later without swapping devices.
13) The opening is not fire rated and I only need push-to-exit - what is a simpler alternative to the 9947F?
The 9947F is fire rated and supplied less dogging, which is what fire-rated openings require. On a non-rated opening where dogging is welcome and no trim is needed, simpler wide stile concealed vertical rod options include the Adams Rite 8500 Series for hollow metal doors, which is Grade 1 and not fire rated, and the DORMA 9100 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile pushpad device that is not fire rated and covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed wide stile exit only panic device.
14) Is the Falcon 1491DT a substitute for a 9947F on an inactive leaf?
No. The Falcon 1491DT is a dummy trim device with a 9970 pull in a 42 inch narrow stile configuration, so it has no latching mechanism and is not an exit device in function. The 9947F is a working fire-rated Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a 3/4 inch latch throw. If you want a dummy appearance on a 9947F opening, the device is ordered in a DT dummy trim configuration within its own trim function range rather than swapping to a different brand's narrow stile dummy.
15) I need lever trim with the concealed vertical rod device - which options besides the Von Duprin 9947F accept trim?
The 9947F is ordered with trim functions including L lever, L-NL lever night latch, L-KC lever key capture, knob, thumbpiece and thumbturn, with lever designs 01 through 18. Cross-brand, the Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device listed as exit only or accepts trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod device for 36 by 84 inch metal doors supplied with lever trim and hex dogging. Note that hex dogging is a difference from the 9947F, which is supplied less dogging.
16) What are the alternatives if I need a 48 inch or 44 inch concealed vertical rod device rather than 36 inch?
The 9947F-3ft covers a 36 inch device size. For wider openings, the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed wide stile exit only concealed vertical rod panic device, and the Falcon 1990EO is a 44 inch narrow stile Grade 1 exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Match stile type to your door before substituting, since the 9947F is a wide stile device.
17) I need a device that fits doors thicker than 1-3/4 inch - is the 9947F the right choice?
The 9947F is specified for 1-3/4 inch door thickness, though its included fasteners cover wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick. If the specification calls for a published range up to 2-1/4 inch, the DORMA 9100 Series wide stile pushpad and the DORMA 9600BB narrow stile pushpad are both Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod devices listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both are non-fire rated, so they do not serve a rated opening the way the 9947F does.
18) Which trim functions and finishes can I get on the 9947F?
Trim runs from exit only and dummy trim through night latch, knob, lever, thumbturn and thumbpiece functions, including blank escutcheon and key capture versions. Levers come in 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 17 and 18 styles. Twelve finishes are offered, from 605 bright brass and 626 satin chrome through 630 satin stainless, 710 dark bronze anodized and 711 flat black, so you can match existing hardware across a building.
19) Can I get a quieter push bar or a braille bar on the 9947F?
Yes. Bar options are standard, BR braille pushbar, KN knurled (the tactile warning bar for hazardous rooms), RSS emergency exit push bar, and SG safety glow. There's also a QM quiet mechanical option if latch noise matters, common in hospitals and dorms, and QEL if you want quiet electric latch retraction.
20) Does a crossbar concealed vertical rod device work in place of the 9947F push pad?
They are different operating styles. The 9947F uses a push pad with a wide stile grooved case, and the bar itself can be specified standard, braille, knurled, safety glow or RSS emergency exit. If the specification calls for a crossbar instead, the Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Because it is narrow stile, it is not a drop-in for a wide stile 9947F prep.
21) For exit only openings with no outside trim, what compares to a 9947F ordered EO?
The 9947F can be ordered in an EO exit only trim function while keeping its Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile build. Exit only concealed vertical rod devices from other makers include the BEST Precision 2601 Series, a narrow stile non-handed exit only device, the CRL Jackson 1285 push pad device offered for narrow, medium or wide stile, and the Falcon 24-C at 36 inch narrow stile exit only. The 9947F itself is non-handed, so it does not need to be handed for that reason.
