Von Duprin 90068 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Von Duprin 090068 rod connector actually do inside an exit device?
The 090068 is the connector that ties a vertical rod to the center case of a Von Duprin exit device, so pushing the pushbar actually retracts the latch at the rod end. It is an installation and repair part for the 22, 33, and 98 Series, not a complete device. If a vertical rod device is pushing but the top or bottom latch is not pulling back, a failed or missing rod connector at the center case is one of the things to check before you pull the whole device off the door.
2) Can I use a Von Duprin 090068 to repair a Falcon or Accentra exit device?
No. The 090068 is cut for Von Duprin 22, 33, and 98 Series center cases only, and exit device internals are not interchangeable between brands. For a Falcon concealed vertical rod repair, the Falcon 610061 top rod covers the 24 Series Monarch F-25-C and F-25-CWDC devices; for a Falcon T Series deadlatch, the 23981160 square corner deadlatch is the matching part. Accentra 7110/7120 top latch replacements are their own components as well.
3) Will a Falcon 610061 top rod work in place of the Von Duprin 090068 rod connector?
No. The Von Duprin 090068 is the rod connector to center case for 22, 33, and 98 Series exit devices, sold two per package. The Falcon 610061 is a concealed vertical top rod for the 24 Series Monarch F-25-C and F-25-CWDC exit devices. One is the connecting hardware that ties a rod into the center case; the other is the rod itself, and it belongs to a different manufacturer's device family. Replacing a worn connector on a Von Duprin 22, 33, or 98 device calls for the 090068, not a Falcon rod.
4) How many rod connectors come in a Von Duprin 090068 order?
The 090068 ships as a package of 2 connectors. That is the right count for a surface or concealed vertical rod device with both a top and a bottom rod, since each rod needs its own connection at the center case. If you are repairing a single rod, you get a spare for the truck.
5) Is this Von Duprin rod connector heavy enough for a high-traffic commercial door?
The 090068 is Grade 1 and built for commercial rather than residential use, which is the highest ANSI/BHMA durability tier for door hardware and the level specified for school, hospital, and office egress doors. For a facility standardizing on Von Duprin across a lot of openings, keeping a package on the shelf is cheaper than losing an opening while a device sits apart.
6) My pair of doors keeps failing at the vertical rod. Do I need a connector or should I switch to a rim device and mullion?
If the vertical rods themselves are the recurring problem, the fix may be the configuration, not the part. A vertical rod device latches at the head and threshold of each leaf, so it has rods and connectors to maintain on both doors; the 090068 is the connector for those rods on Von Duprin 22, 33, and 98 Series devices. A pair converted to rim devices with a removable mullion instead puts the latching into the mullion and removes the rods entirely. The Falcon 4023 steel mullion is that route for double door exit device applications, with Falcon 525 aluminum mullion stabilizers available for those installs.
7) I need a latch part for a vertical rod exit device, not a connector. What is the difference between the Von Duprin 090068 and the Accentra top latch replacement components?
The Von Duprin 090068 is an installation accessory that joins the rod to the center case on 22, 33, and 98 Series devices, so it restores the drive linkage rather than the latching point. The Accentra 60-7010-0049-999 is a top latch replacement component for 7110 and 7120 exit devices, and the 60-7010-0050-999 is the top latch replacement component for the 7110F. If the top latch itself is damaged, those Accentra parts address the latch on Accentra devices; if the rod is no longer driving the center case on a Von Duprin device, the 090068 is the part that addresses it.
8) My pair of doors will not stay aligned and the exit devices are binding. Is a rod connector the right part, or do I need something else?
A rod connector addresses the linkage inside a single device: the Von Duprin 090068 ties the rod to the center case on 22, 33, and 98 Series exit devices. A binding pair of doors is usually an opening problem rather than a device linkage problem, and that calls for mullion hardware instead. The Falcon 4023 is a steel mullion for double door exit device applications, and the Falcon 525 is a set of aluminum mullion stabilizers for exit devices. Order the 090068 when the rod-to-case connection on a Von Duprin device has failed, and mullion hardware when the double door opening itself needs to be stabilized.
9) Do I need anything else besides the 090068 to get a vertical rod device working again?
The 090068 covers the connection between the rod and the center case, and nothing else. If the rod itself is bent, the latch is worn, or the strike prep is off, those are separate parts. Pull the cover, check the rod for straightness and the top latch for wear while the device is open, and order those at the same time rather than making a second trip.
10) Is the Von Duprin 090068 rod connector a fire rated part?
The Von Duprin 090068 rod connector to center case for 22, 33, and 98 Series devices carries a Grade 1 commercial rating and is not designated as a fire rated item. The Accentra 7110/7120 top latch component and the 7110F top latch component are likewise not fire rated. For a fire rated opening, confirm the labeled device assembly the part is going into against the device manufacturer's listing rather than selecting on the component alone.
11) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 090068 and the Falcon T Series deadlatch replacement part?
The Von Duprin 090068 is a rod connector that mechanically links the rod to the center case on Von Duprin 22, 33, and 98 Series exit devices and ships two to a package. The Falcon 23981160 is a 2-3/8 inch square corner deadlatch replacement part for Falcon T Series devices, so it replaces the latch bolt assembly at the door edge on a different device line. The two are not interchangeable: one restores the internal rod drive on a Von Duprin device, the other replaces the deadlatch on a Falcon T Series device.
