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

1) Will the Von Duprin 9949F fit a 1-3/4 inch door, and are fasteners included for thicker doors?
The 9949F is specified for 1-3/4 inch door thickness, which is the standard commercial door. Fasteners ship with it for wood or metal doors at both 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thickness, so a thicker leaf is covered on the fastener side. It is sized for a 48 inch door width.
2) Is the Von Duprin 9949F fire rated, and can I dog it down?
It is fire rated and listed to ANSI/UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104, certified ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1. The device comes with hex key dogging, but dogging must not be used on a fire rated opening. Hold-open on a fire door is a code violation, so order LD (less dogging) if the opening is fire rated and you want the function removed entirely.
3) Do I need to specify a hand for a 9949F concealed vertical rod device?
The device itself is non-handed, so the base unit works either way. Handing does come into play if you select SD (special center case dogging) or SS (signal switch), and handing is still selected on the order as RHR or LHR for trim and prep purposes.
4) Will the 9949F latch into my existing strike prep?
Latch throw is 3/4 inch, top and bottom, and the rods are concealed in the door so the latching happens at the head frame and the threshold rather than the door edge. That means you need a top strike in the frame head and a floor or threshold strike, not an edge strike. Projection off the door face is 3-13/16 inches and the center case measures 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches.
5) Does the 9949F meet the 5 lb ADA operating force requirement?
Only with the AX option selected. Standard, it is a Grade 1 wide stile push pad device; the optional AX upgrade meets the 5 lb force 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 it has to be called out.
6) Can I get the 9949F with electric latch retraction for access control?
Yes. Latch retraction options are EL (electric latch retraction), QEL (quiet electric latch retraction), and PN (pneumatic). Switch options cover RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combination, WP-RX waterproof RX, RX-LC low current, RX-2 double RX, SS signal switch, and ALK alarm kits with or without RX/LX. QM (quiet mechanical) is a separate yes/no if noise matters in a corridor.
7) What is the closest fire-rated wide stile concealed vertical rod alternative to the Von Duprin 9949F?
The Von Duprin 9949F is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device. The Adams Rite 3600 Series is also a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device, built for hollow metal doors, and the Adams Rite 3900 Series is a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device carrying a 1-1/2 hour rating. On the Sargent side, the 12-MD8613 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device in classroom function. All three hold the same wide stile, Grade 1, fire-rated combination the 9949F does.
8) The opening is an aluminum storefront with narrow stiles - what do I use instead of the 9949F?
The 9949F is a wide stile device and will not fit a narrow stile aluminum door. For narrow stile concealed vertical rod openings, the Adams Rite 8600 Series is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device made for aluminum doors. Other narrow stile options in concealed vertical rod include the Corbin Russwin ED4800, a Grade 1 narrow stile device that is exit only or accepts trim, and the Falcon 1690EO, a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device.
9) What looks like a substitute for the 9949F but is not?
Watch for dummy and exit-only devices. The Falcon 1491DT is a dummy function narrow stile concealed vertical rod device with a 9970 pull and does not latch. The CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed concealed vertical rod panic device in exit only function, so it takes no outside trim. The 9949F is offered in trim functions including lever, knob, thumbpiece and night latch as well as exit only, so if the opening needs outside operation an exit-only or dummy device will not stand in for it.
10) Concealed vertical rod or surface vertical rod for a pair of doors?
Concealed vertical rod, like the 9949F, hides the rods inside the door leaf, so nothing is exposed to abuse or vandalism and the opening looks clean. It requires a door prepped for concealed rods, which usually means ordering the door that way. Surface vertical rod is the retrofit answer on doors that were never prepped. Either type latches top and bottom and secures a pair without a center mullion.
11) What trim and lever options do I specify with a 9949F?
Trim functions run DT dummy, EO exit only, K knob, K-BE knob with blank escutcheon, K-NL knob night latch, L lever, L-BE, L-KC key capture, L-NL lever night latch, NL, NL-OP night latch with optional pull, TP thumbpiece, and TP-BE. If you pick an L trim you also choose the lever style: 01, 02, 03, 05, 06 (default), 07, 17, or 18.
12) What finishes does the Von Duprin 9949F come in for matching other doors in 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, 643E aged bronze, 710 dark bronze anodized, and 711 flat black. 626 and 630 are the usual institutional picks for schools and hospitals.
13) Can the 9949F be used for delayed egress?
Yes, with the optional CX (CHEXIT) configuration, which meets NFPA and IBC delayed egress requirements with a 15 second door hold and a nuisance alarm. Security dogging indicator options CDSI and HDSI are also available if you need to see at a glance whether the device is dogged.
14) My opening is not fire rated - is there a simpler concealed vertical rod device than the 9949F?
The 9949F is listed for fire-rated openings, which is more device than a non-rated opening requires. Non-fire-rated Grade 1 concealed vertical rod options include the Adams Rite 8500 Series, a wide stile device for hollow metal doors, and the DORMA 9100 Series, a heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device that covers doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. For a narrow stile non-rated opening, the DORMA 9600BB is a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile pushpad device.
15) I need a concealed vertical rod device on a wood door - does the 9949F cover that?
The 9949F ships with fasteners for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick, so wood is within its fastener package. If you want a device specified for wood, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood doors. The BEST Precision 2801 Series is another wide stile concealed vertical rod option.
16) Is there another 48 inch concealed vertical rod device that matches the 9949F size?
The 9949F is a 48 inch device. The CRL Jackson 1085 Series is also a 48 inch non-handed concealed vertical rod panic device, though it is exit only. The Falcon 1990EO is a 44 inch narrow stile exit only device if you are working a slightly narrower leaf, and the Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM covers a 36 inch by 84 inch metal door with hex dogging.
17) For standardizing a school or hospital on one concealed vertical rod device, how does the 9949F compare to the Sargent 8600 option?
The 9949F is certified Grade 1 and fire rated, non-handed, with hex key dogging standard and dogging upgrades including cylinder dogging and dogging indicators. The Sargent 12-MD8613 is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile concealed vertical rod device supplied in classroom function. If your standard is one device family covering many trim functions, the 9949F is offered in lever, knob, thumbpiece, night latch, dummy and exit only; if the standard is classroom function specifically, the Sargent is built to it.
18) I have a mix of narrow, medium and wide stile doors - is there one concealed vertical rod device that covers all of them instead of the 9949F?
The 9949F is a wide stile device. The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit is catalogued for narrow, medium or wide stile applications in exit only function, which suits a mixed-stile building where outside trim is not required. Where outside trim is needed on the wide stile leaves, the 9949F carries lever, knob and thumbpiece trim functions.
19) What push bar styles are available on the 9949F for a school or accessible opening?
Beyond the standard bar, you can order BR braille push bar, KN knurled bar (the tactile warning bar used on hazardous-area doors), RSS emergency exit push bar, or SG safety glow push bar for low-light egress. All are on the wide stile grooved case push pad platform.
20) Which concealed vertical rod devices are non-handed like the 9949F?
The 9949F is non-handed. Among concealed vertical rod alternatives, the BEST Precision 2601 Series is a narrow stile exit only device that is non-handed, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible device for wood doors, and the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed panic device. Non-handed or reversible construction reduces the handing decision at order time.
