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

1) Will the Von Duprin 9947WDC-F fit a 36 inch wood door, and what door thickness does it need?
The 9947WDC-F-3ft is sized for a 36 inch door opening and is built for 1-3/4 inch thick doors. The WDC configuration is specifically a wood door concealed vertical rod device, and fasteners come in the box for wood or metal doors at 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thickness. It is a wide stile push pad device, so the door stile has to be wide enough to carry an 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inch center case, and it projects 3-13/16 inches off the face of the door.
2) Is the Von Duprin 9947WDC-F fire rated, and can I use it on a fire door in a school or hospital?
Yes. The 9947WDC-F is fire exit hardware, certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1 and UL listed under ANSI/UL 10C, plus CAN/ULC-S104, ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132. That is why it ships less dogging: fire exit hardware cannot be held in a dogged, latch-retracted state. It is a commercial-duty device intended for institutional openings such as schools, hospitals and government buildings.
3) Do I have to specify a hand when ordering a 9947WDC-F concealed vertical rod device?
The device itself is non-handed, with one exception: if you order the SS signal switch option it becomes handed. Handing is still a required selection at order (RHR or LHR), and it matters for any lever trim you pick. For multi-door projects the non-handed mechanism means you can stock one device across openings.
4) Why is there no dogging on this Von Duprin 9947WDC-F, and how do I hold the door unlatched during business hours?
Mechanical dogging is not offered because this is fire exit hardware, and the device is supplied less dogging. If you need the latches held retracted for daytime traffic on this opening, that is done electrically: the QEL quiet electric latch retraction or EL electric latch retraction option, or PN pneumatic. Those work with an access control or time clock signal and drop back to latched on power loss or alarm.
5) Will the 3/4 inch latch throw on the 9947WDC-F work with the strikes already in my frame and floor?
The top and bottom latches throw 3/4 inch, so the head strike and the floor or threshold strike have to give a full 3/4 inch of engagement in line with the concealed rods. Because this is a concealed vertical rod device it latches at the head and at the sill rather than into the jamb, which is what lets it secure a pair of doors with no center mullion. Existing rim device strikes in the jamb will not serve it.
6) Does the 9947WDC-F meet the 5 lb ADA operating force requirement?
Only with the optional AX accessible device upgrade, which is a selectable option at order. AX meets the 5 lb force requirements of the 2010 ADA (Chapters 404.2.7 and 30934) and the 2013 California Building Code (Chapter 11B-309.4). Specify AX if the opening is on an accessible route governed by those sections.
7) What other Grade 1 fire-rated concealed vertical rod exit device works on a wood door instead of the Von Duprin 9947WDC-F?
The Von Duprin 9947WDC-F is a Grade 1 fire-rated concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile push pad built for wood doors 1-3/4 inch thick. The closest wood-door alternative in concealed vertical rod is the BEST Precision 2701 Series, a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood doors. If the opening is hollow metal rather than wood, the Adams Rite 3600 Series is a Grade 1 fire-rated concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors, and the Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod device for metal doors 36 by 84 inches.
8) The 9947WDC-F is wide stile - what concealed vertical rod device fits a narrow stile aluminum or glass front door?
The 9947WDC-F is a wide stile device with an 8 by 2-3/4 by 2-3/8 inch center case, so it needs stile width the narrow aluminum door does not have. Narrow stile concealed vertical rod options include the Adams Rite 8600 Series for aluminum doors, the DORMA 9600BB Series 36 inch Grade 1 pushpad, the Corbin Russwin ED4800 Grade 1 narrow stile, the Corbin Russwin ED7800 narrow stile crossbar version, and Falcon narrow stile exit only devices such as the 1690EO at 3 ft, the 24-C at 36 inches, and the 1990EO at 44 inches. The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad device is offered for narrow, medium or wide stile.
9) Which concealed vertical rod exit devices are not fire rated and cannot replace a 9947WDC-F on a fire door?
The Von Duprin 9947WDC-F carries a fire rating, so any substitute on a labeled opening must as well. Several concealed vertical rod devices in the same style are specified as not fire rated: the Adams Rite 8500 Series for hollow metal doors, the Adams Rite 8600 Series narrow stile for aluminum doors, the DORMA 9100 Series Grade 1 wide stile pushpad, and the DORMA 9600BB Series 36 inch narrow stile pushpad. Those suit non-labeled openings only. Fire-rated concealed vertical rod peers include the Adams Rite 3900 Series, rated 1-1/2 hour, and the Sargent 12-MD8613 classroom function device.
10) I need dogging on the device - the 9947WDC-F is less dogging. What else is there?
The 9947WDC-F is supplied less dogging, which is normal for fire exit hardware, and its electrical options cover EL, QEL and PN latch retraction if the door needs to be held in a released state under access control. Where mechanical dogging is acceptable on the opening, the Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod device for metal doors listed with hex dogging.
11) My wood doors are 2-1/4 inch thick. Does the 9947WDC-F cover that, or do I need a different device?
The 9947WDC-F is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors and ships with fasteners for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick. Where a published range spanning both thicknesses is required on a non-labeled opening, the DORMA 9100 Series wide stile pushpad and the DORMA 9600BB Series 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; neither is fire rated.
12) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 9947WDC-F and the 9847WDC-F?
Function and performance are identical. The 99 device carries the grooved mechanism case, the 98 the smooth case. It is an architectural appearance choice, so match whichever case style is already on the other openings in the building.
13) What trim and finish choices do I pick when ordering the 9947WDC-F?
Trim function runs from exit only (EO) and dummy trim (DT) through night latch (NL, NL-OP, K-NL, L-NL), knob (K, K-BE), lever (L, L-BE, L-KC), thumbturn (TL, TL-BE) and thumbpiece (TP, TP-BE). If you choose an L trim you also pick the lever design, 06 being the default, with 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 17 and 18 also offered. Finishes are 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, 643E aged bronze, 710 dark bronze anodized and 711 flat black.
14) Can I get door position and latch monitoring or an alarm on this exit device?
Yes, as ordered options on the 9947WDC-F. Switch choices include RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combination, WP-RX waterproof RX, RX-LC low current, RX-2 double RX, and SS signal switch. Alarm kits are offered as ALK, RX-ALK and LXRX-ALK. For controlled egress, the CX (CHEXIT) option meets NFPA and IBC delayed egress requirements, holding the door 15 seconds after a request to exit while a nuisance alarm sounds. Note that choosing SS makes the device handed.
15) What is the closest alternative to the Von Duprin 9947WDC-F for wood doors from another brand?
The BEST Precision 2701 Series is the nearest match in the concealed vertical rod class: wide stile, reversible, and built for wood doors. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is another Grade 1 wide stile CVR for 1-3/4 inch doors, offered exit only or accepting trim. Both are wide stile push-style CVR devices like the 9947WDC-F; confirm the fire rating you need against the specific model you order.
16) If I only need push-to-exit with no outside trim, is there a simpler concealed vertical rod device than the 9947WDC-F?
The 9947WDC-F is ordered across trim functions from EO exit only through lever, knob, thumbturn, night latch and dummy trim, so exit only is one of its configurations. If a fixed exit-only device is all the opening needs, the BEST Precision 2601 Series is a non-handed narrow stile exit only concealed vertical rod device, the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed exit only device, and Falcon offers exit only concealed vertical rod devices including the 1690EO at 3 ft and the 24-C at 36 inches. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile device listed as exit only and accepts trim.
17) Can a dummy trim device be used in place of a 9947WDC-F on the inactive leaf?
No. The 9947WDC-F is a fire-rated Grade 1 latching device with a 3/4 inch latch throw, and it is also configurable with DT dummy trim among its trim functions. A standalone dummy unit such as the Falcon 1491DT, a narrow stile dummy-function concealed vertical rod device with a 9970 pull at 42 inches, does not latch and is not an egress substitute for a latching fire exit device.
18) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 9947WDC-F and a Sargent 12-MD8613 for a classroom door?
Both are Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile concealed vertical rod exit devices. The Sargent 12-MD8613 is specified as classroom function. The Von Duprin 9947WDC-F is a wood door concealed vertical rod device, non-handed except with the SS signal switch, and its outside control is selected from trim functions including L lever, L-NL lever night latch, L-KC lever key capture, K knob, NL night latch and TP thumbpiece.
19) Is a crossbar concealed vertical rod device an equivalent to the 9947WDC-F?
Not in operation. The 9947WDC-F is a push pad style device with a 3-13/16 inch projection and a wide stile case. The Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, so it differs in both actuator style and stile width. A closer push pad match in style is the Corbin Russwin ED5800, a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the BEST Precision 2801 Series wide stile concealed vertical rod device.
20) Can I upgrade a 9947WDC-F later instead of replacing the whole device?
Yes. Von Duprin offers retrofit kits for the 98/99 Series so the device can take on newer options over its service life, including the CDSI and HDSI security dogging indicators, QEL electronic latch retraction, and the RX and LX electronic switches. The patented XP 2-piece latchbolt is also available for 98/99 panic and fire applications.
21) What push bar styles can I get on this Von Duprin exit device?
The push pad comes as a standard bar, or with BR braille, KN knurled, RSS emergency exit push bar, or SG safety glow. Knurled bars are commonly specified to signal a hazardous-side door by touch, and safety glow helps in smoke or power-loss egress. A QM quiet mechanical option is also selectable if noise on the opening is a concern.
