Von Duprin 9949EO-F 4 US3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 9949F fit a 1-3/4 inch door, and does it work on thicker doors?
The 9949F is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the standard commercial thickness. Fasteners ship with the device for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick, so the mounting hardware covers the thicker leaf as well. Push pad device with a 3-13/16 inch projection off the door face, which matters where the door swings into a tight corridor or past a wall return.
2) Is the Von Duprin 9949F 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. The device ships with hex key dogging, but dogging must not be used on a fire door assembly, so on a rated opening the holdback feature stays unused. If you want the device without that feature, LD (less dogging) is one of the dogging selections.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the Von Duprin 9949F?
The concealed vertical cable device itself is non-handed, so the base device does not change with the swing. Handing only becomes a real variable when SD (special center case dogging) or SS (signal switch) is selected. Handing is still called out on the order as RHR or LHR, and the lever trim follows it.
4) Will the 9949F latch into my existing top and bottom strikes?
The latchbolts throw 3/4 inch. As a concealed vertical cable device it latches at the head and at the threshold, so both a head strike and a floor or threshold strike have to be present and aligned. If the existing openings were cut for a 3/4 inch throw concealed vertical rod device, the bolts will engage; if the prep was for a rim or mortise device, the door and frame need new top and bottom prep.
5) Can the 9949F secure a pair of doors without a center mullion?
Yes. Because it latches vertically into the head and the threshold rather than into a strike at the edge, a concealed vertical cable device holds a pair of doors with a clear opening between them, no removable mullion required. That is the main reason to choose this over a rim device, which needs either a strike on the frame or a mullion between the leaves.
6) Does the Von Duprin 9949F meet the 5 lb ADA operating force requirement?
Only with the AX option selected. The optional AX upgrade meets the 5 lb force ADA requirement under 2010 ADA chapters 404.2.7 and 30934 and 2013 California Building Code chapter 11B-309.4. AX is a yes/no choice at order time, so if the opening is on an accessible route, specify it up front.
7) The 9949F is wide stile - what concealed vertical rod device fits a narrow stile aluminum door instead?
The Von Duprin 9949F is a wide stile device and will not suit a narrow stile aluminum stile. For narrow stile openings, the Adams Rite 8600 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for aluminum doors, and the DORMA 9600BB is a Grade 1 narrow stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device in a 36 inch size. The Corbin Russwin ED4800 is another Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device that accepts trim.
8) What outside trim functions can I order with the Von Duprin 9949F?
Thirteen trim functions: exit only (EO), dummy trim (DT), night latch (NL), night latch with optional pull (NL-OP), knob (K), knob blank escutcheon (K-BE), knob night latch (K-NL), lever (L), lever blank escutcheon (L-BE), lever key capture (L-KC), lever night latch (L-NL), thumbpiece (TP), and thumbpiece blank escutcheon (TP-BE). On any L trim you also pick the lever design: 06 is the default, with 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 17 and 18 also available.
9) Can I tie a 9949F into access control or get a signal when someone exits?
Yes, through the switch and latch retraction options. Switches include RX (request to exit), LX (latch bolt monitor), LX-RX combined, WP-RX waterproof, RX-LC low current, RX-2 double RX, SS signal switch, and the ALK alarm exit kit in three forms (ALK, RX-ALK, LXRX-ALK). For electric latch retraction, specify QEL (quiet electric latch retraction) or PN pneumatic. CX (CHEXIT) is the delayed egress option, meeting NFPA and IBC delayed egress with a 15 second door hold and nuisance alarm.
10) I need to standardize exit devices across a school. What dogging and indicator options does the 9949 offer?
Eight dogging configurations, so you can run one device family across rated and non-rated openings: hex key dogging as standard, CD cylinder dogging, CDSI cylinder dogging with security indicator, HDSI hex dogging with security indicator, SD special center case dogging, LD less dogging, DI dogging indicator, and CI cylinder dogging indicator. The indicator versions are what facilities use to see at a glance whether a door is secured.
11) What size door does the 9949F 4 ft device cover, and what are the center case dimensions?
It is sized for 48 inch door applications, with a center case measuring 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches and a 3-13/16 inch projection. The 48 inch device length is the figure to match against your door width before ordering; the grooved case is the visual distinction of the 9949 within the 98/99 Series.
12) What other fire rated wide stile concealed vertical rod exit devices could I use instead of the Von Duprin 9949F?
Among fire rated wide stile concealed vertical rod devices, the Adams Rite 3600 Series and 3900 Series are both Grade 1 and fire rated (the 3900 carries a 1-1/2 hour rating, and the 3600 is built for hollow metal doors). The Sargent 8600 Series 12-MD8613 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile device in a classroom function if you need keyed outside control rather than trim selected separately. If the opening is not fire rated, the Adams Rite 8500 Series and the DORMA 9100 Series are Grade 1 wide stile non-rated alternatives, with the DORMA covering 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
13) We only need exit only - is there a simpler concealed vertical rod device than the 9949F?
The Von Duprin 9949F is available in a wide range of trim functions from exit only through lever, knob, thumbpiece and night latch. If the opening only needs push-to-exit with no outside trim, 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 the Falcon 1990EO is a 44 inch narrow stile exit only device. The 9949F is also non-handed in its standard build.
14) Does the 9949F fit a 2-1/4 inch thick door, or is there another concealed vertical rod device for that?
The Von Duprin 9949F lists a door thickness of 1-3/4 inch, though its fasteners are supplied for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick. If the specification calls for a device rated across that full range, the DORMA 9100 Series wide stile pushpad device and the Sargent 12-19-MD8415G both list 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness, the Sargent being a narrow stile passage function device.
15) Can a Falcon 1491DT be used in place of a 9949F?
No. The Falcon 1491DT is a dummy function narrow stile concealed vertical rod trim with a 9970 pull in a 42 inch size, so it provides the appearance of a device without latching or egress operation. The Von Duprin 9949F is a working Grade 1 fire rated push pad exit device with a 3/4 inch latch throw. A dummy would only be correct on the inactive leaf of a pair where no egress function is required.
16) Is there a wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device for wood doors instead of the 9949F?
The Von Duprin 9949F is described for use on single or double metal doors, with fasteners supplied for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick. If the project is specifically wood door construction, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod exit device for wood doors, and the BEST Precision 2801 Series is another wide stile concealed vertical rod device.
17) We need a classroom function concealed vertical rod device - does the 9949F cover that or is there another option?
The Von Duprin 9949F is offered in trim functions including lever, lever with key capture, night latch and thumbpiece, which cover most keyed outside trim needs. If the specification names classroom function outright, the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device in classroom function. Confirm the function code on the door schedule before ordering either.
18) What are the shorter concealed vertical rod alternatives if a 48 inch device is too long for the door?
The Von Duprin 9949F covered here is sized for a 48 inch product size. For narrower leaves, the Falcon 1690EO is a 3 ft narrow stile exit only concealed vertical rod device, the Falcon 24-C is a 36 inch narrow stile Grade 1 exit only device, and the DORMA 9600BB is a 36 inch narrow stile Grade 1 pushpad device. Note that those three are narrow stile, so verify stile width before substituting.
19) How does the Corbin Russwin ED5800 compare with the Von Duprin 9949F?
Both are Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod exit devices for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is offered exit only or accepting trim. The Von Duprin 9949F is a fire rated device with a grooved mechanism case, 3/4 inch latch throw, 3-13/16 inch projection and hex key dogging standard, and it is non-handed in its standard configuration.
20) What finishes does the Von Duprin 9949F come in to match the rest of my 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. 630 and 628 are the usual institutional choices.
21) Can I get a braille or glow-in-the-dark push bar on the 9949F for egress marking?
Yes. Bar options are standard bar, BR braille pushbar, KN knurled bar, RSS emergency exit push bar, and SG safety glow pushbar. Knurled bars are commonly used where a tactile warning on the hardware is called for, and SG helps mark the device in a dark corridor.
22) Is the Von Duprin 9949F too much device for a light-use interior door?
Probably, yes. It is a commercial, Grade 1, concealed vertical cable device built for high-use and high-abuse institutional traffic, and the concealed rods mean door and frame prep at the head and threshold. For a door that only needs the look of a device with no latching, the DT dummy trim function exists; for exit-only service with no outside operation, order EO.
23) What is the difference between the 9949F and a crossbar concealed vertical rod device like the Corbin Russwin ED7800?
The Von Duprin 9949F uses push pads on a wide stile grooved case. The Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 crossbar concealed vertical rod device in a narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim. The CRL Jackson 1285 is another push pad concealed vertical rod exit device, offered for narrow, medium or wide stile applications in exit only function. Choose the actuator style that matches the rest of the doors in the building.
