Von Duprin VON-SS99TP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin SS99TP rim exit device fit a 36 inch wide door?
Yes. The SS99TP is built as a 36 inch device, and the 3 foot device range covers door widths from 2'4" to 3' (711 mm to 914 mm). If your leaf is wider, the 4 foot device range covers 2'10" to 4' (864 mm to 1219 mm). Mount it with the device centerline at 39-13/16 inches (1011 mm) from finished floor, or 39-11/16 inches (1008 mm) when a mullion is used.
2) What door thicknesses does the SS99TP come prepped for, and are fasteners included?
A screw pack for 1-3/4 inch (44 mm) and 2-1/4 inch (57 mm) metal or wood doors ships with the device, so both standard commercial and thicker doors are covered out of the box. For through-bolting, order the 425 SNB sex bolts separately.
3) Will this Von Duprin 99 Series device latch into my existing rim strike?
The 99 rim device throws a deadlocking latch bolt 3/4 inch (19 mm), which is the standard rim panic throw, so it engages a surface-mounted rim strike on the frame stop or a mullion-mounted strike. Pushbar projection is 3-13/16 inches (97 mm) neutral and 3-1/16 inches (78 mm) depressed, worth checking against anything mounted close to the door.
4) What does the SS in SS99TP mean and what does the alarm touchbar actually do?
SS is the signal switch. The touchbar is printed "Emergency Exit Only, Push to Open & Sound Alarm," and pushing it trips the switch so an audible alarm sounds when someone egresses. That makes it the configuration for a controlled or restricted-use exit where you still have to allow free egress, common on school and institutional side doors.
5) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the SS99TP?
Yes. It is offered as Left Hand Reverse or Right Hand Reverse, both in 628 Aluminum finish. Reverse bevel is how exit devices are handed, so determine the hand at the opening before you order.
6) Can I use this rim device on a pair of doors?
Yes, the 99 Series grooved mechanism cases are made for all types of single and double doors. On a pair, a rim device latches into a strike, so you either need a removable mullion between the leaves or a strike on the inactive leaf. When a mullion is used, drop the device centerline to 39-11/16 inches (1008 mm) from finished floor. If you want to avoid a mullion entirely on a pair, a vertical rod device is the alternative type, for example the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod wide stile device.
7) Is the SS99TP fire rated?
The SS99TP is a Grade 1 commercial rim device, and it is a panic device rather than a fire exit device. For a labeled fire door opening you need a fire-rated rim device, for example the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch or the Orca Hardware OED85 36 inch, both of which are listed as fire rated. Fire exit hardware is also never supplied with dogging.
8) The SS99TP is a wide stile device - what should I use on an aluminum narrow stile storefront door instead?
The SS99TP is a wide stile pushpad device. On a narrow stile aluminum door, specify a narrow stile rim device instead: the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch Grade 1 with a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch Grade 1, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rated for 1-3/4 inch doors and able to accept trim, the Falcon 19-R 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile exit only, or the Detex 40 Advantex extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile. Where the narrow stile device must be trimmed for outside entry, the ED4200 is the one in that group catalogued as accepting trim.
9) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Von Duprin SS99TP 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device?
For a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device, the closest peers are the Corbin Russwin ED5200, a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device, the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch wide stile extra heavy duty Grade 1 rim device, and the TownSteel ED1100, a 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic rim device. All three match the SS99TP on Grade 1 rating, wide stile pushpad format, and 36 inch device size. The difference is that the SS99TP is supplied with a classroom function thumbpiece pull, a signal switch, and an "Emergency Exit Only, Push to Open and Sound Alarm" touchbar, while the ED5200 and ED1100 are catalogued exit only, and the Detex 10 is a straight rim device without alarm hardware.
10) I need a rim exit device on a fire-rated opening - can I use the SS99TP or should I look at something else?
The SS99TP is described as a less-dogging 99 Series rim device with an emergency exit alarm touchbar and is not presented as a fire-rated assembly. For an opening where the label requires fire-rated exit hardware, the fire-rated rim peers are the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch, the Orca OED85 36 inch, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch narrow stile Grade 1, the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated Grade 1 rim device, and the Arrow FS1250 at 32 inch. Note that the Marks M9900F and Orca OED85 are exit only, so any keyed or thumbpiece entry must be specified separately.
11) Which alternatives to the SS99TP give me classroom-function entry from the outside rather than exit only?
The SS99TP is supplied with classroom function and a thumbpiece pull, and ships EO/DT/NL field selectable. Among the peers, the Dormakaba electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A trim is catalogued with 08-Classroom function, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and ED5200 Grade 1 rim devices are listed as exit only but accept trim, so outside trim is specified separately. The Sargent 8504 is a narrow design rim device in night latch function, which gives keyed entry rather than classroom. Devices listed strictly exit only, such as the Marks M9900 36 inch and the Orca OED55 36 inch, will not provide outside entry as supplied.
12) I need alarmed or monitored egress like the SS99TP signal switch - which other devices do that?
The SS99TP carries an integrated signal switch and an "Emergency Exit Only, Push to Open and Sound Alarm" touchbar for audible notification on egress. If you need switched or monitored egress from another line, the Sargent 12-8810 fire rated wide stile rim device is configured with RX and MELR, the SDC MSB550 36 inch mechanical switch bar works with electromagnetic lock release and fits narrow or wide stile, the SDC PSB560 SureExit 36 inch pressure sense bar uses tri-failsafe operation, and the Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. Note the SDC bars are switch and sense bars rather than latching rim devices, so they do not replace the SS99TP deadlocking latch bolt.
13) The SS99TP is less dogging - which comparable 36 inch rim devices offer dogging?
The SS99TP 99 Series device is supplied less dogging, so the latch cannot be held retracted for a push-pull period. If you need dogging on the opening, the Design Hardware 1000R 33 inch heavy duty rim device and the 2000R 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device both include hex key dogging, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device is furnished with hex key dogging. The Dormakaba QED200 36 inch device with 7 ft rod is the Grade 1 heavy duty narrow counterpart in that same series.
14) What looks like a substitute for the SS99TP but will not actually latch the door?
Two things in this class are easy to mis-order. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super-heavy-duty dummy exit device with wide stile design, and the Sargent 12-8810 wide stile rim device is catalogued in dummy function - neither latches, they are pull or inactive-leaf hardware. Likewise the Dexter ED1500-EXTRD-SP is a 12 inch extension rod assembly for ED1500 exit devices, a component rather than a device. The SS99TP by contrast has a deadlocking latch bolt with a 3/4 inch throw.
15) Can I change the function in the field, or is the SS99TP locked to classroom?
The device ships EO/DT/NL and is field selectable. For TP, K, or L trim configurations, remove the NL drive screw from the device. TP here is the classroom function with thumbpiece pull, which gives keyed or controlled entry from outside while the pushpad always allows egress.
16) Can the SS99TP be dogged down to hold the latch retracted during business hours?
No. This one is a less-dogging device, so there is no hex key or cylinder dogging to hold the latch back. That is consistent with an alarmed emergency-exit-only opening, where you do not want the door left free-swinging. If you need dogging on a rim device, look at something like the Design Hardware 1000R heavy duty rim device or the Stanley QED200, both of which list hex key dogging.
17) I need a Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch rim device but not the alarm. What else could I use?
Drop the signal switch and you are in plain panic-device territory. Wide stile 36 inch Grade 1 options include the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and ED2200, the BEST Precision 2101, the TownSteel ED1100, and the Detex Advantex 10 Series in 36 inch. The ED5200 and ED4200 are listed as exit only but accepting trim, so they are the closest to a device you would later add a pull to.
18) I need the exit tied into an access control system, not just a local alarm. Is this the right device?
The SS99TP's signal switch reports the push and sounds a local alarm, it is not an electrified latch retraction or electric trim device. If you need the exit to work with a card reader or an electromagnetic lock, look at an electrified device instead: the SDC S6136 is an electrified wide stile rim device with a 4 inch stile and a 1-3/4 to 2 inch door thickness range, the Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is an electrified 36 inch device in classroom function, and the SDC MSB550 36 inch switch bar releases an electromagnetic lock.
19) Will this match the other Von Duprin 99 devices already on my building's doors?
It is a 99 Series device with the same wide stile pushpad and grooved mechanism case used across the family, so it mounts at the same 39-13/16 inch centerline and reads the same on the door as other 99 rim devices. The difference is the SS signal switch and the printed emergency-exit touchbar, plus the less-dogging build, so this particular opening will alarm and cannot be dogged like a standard 99 can.
20) Is a Cal-Royal 5000 or A9800 a direct substitute for the Von Duprin SS99TP?
Not on grade. The SS99TP is a Grade 1 device. The Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch rim exit device with touch bar is catalogued Grade 2 heavy duty, and the Cal-Royal A9800 36 inch and A9820 48 inch rim devices are also catalogued Grade 2 heavy duty. If the specification calls for Grade 1, stay with a Grade 1 36 inch peer such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200, the TownSteel ED1100, or the Hager 4701 Series 36 inch rim device.
21) My opening is a pair of doors wider than 36 inches - what takes the place of the SS99TP there?
The SS99TP is sized for a 36 inch device. For wider leaves, the Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch rim device with push bar, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 48 inch Grade 1 crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch Grade 1 wide stile exit only device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Dexter ED1000 4FT Grade 1 rim device, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 Grade 1 reversible rim devices for 48 inch minimum door width all cover the larger opening. The ED3200 and 3828 use a crossbar or push bar rather than a pushpad touchbar.
22) The SS99TP is handed left hand reverse or right hand reverse - are there non-handed rim devices I could stock instead?
The SS99TP is ordered by hand, in left hand reverse or right hand reverse. If you would rather carry one non-handed part across a property, the BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal design rim device, the BEST 2401 narrow stile rim device is exit only and non-handed, the CRL Jackson 1295 Series is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are reversible. Keep in mind those non-handed options are exit only or panic-only configurations and do not include the SS99TP classroom thumbpiece entry or signal switch.
23) For a school corridor where the SS99TP alarm touchbar is not wanted, what is a plainer 36 inch Grade 1 rim device?
If you want a straightforward 36 inch Grade 1 rim device without the alarm touchbar and signal switch the SS99TP carries, look at the Hager 4701 Series 36 inch Grade 1 rim device, the Imperial USA ED-501 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim panic device in exit only, the Dexter ED1000 3FT Grade 1 rim device, the Arrow ED910 36 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the BEST Precision 2101 Series 36 inch wide stile rim device. These are configured for plain egress, so any outside entry trim has to be specified alongside.
24) How does the SS99TP compare with concealed vertical rod devices for the same 36 inch opening?
The SS99TP is a rim device, latching into a surface strike on the frame or mullion, with a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking latch bolt. The Hager 4501 Series 36 inch Grade 1 is a concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch Grade 1 is the narrow stile concealed vertical rod version. Concealed vertical rod devices latch top and bottom and require a door prepped for the concealed rods, so they are chosen at the door order rather than retrofitted to an opening already set up for rim hardware.
25) I want the same 36 inch pushpad feel as the SS99TP but on a crossbar or paddle-actuated device - what are my options?
The SS99TP uses a wide stile pushpad touchbar with a projection of 3-13/16 inch neutral and 3-1/16 inch depressed. If the opening calls for a different actuator, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in wide stile, exit only, and the 1095P is the paddle-actuated version of that same wide stile exit only device. The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a 48 inch Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device, and the Falcon Monarch 18 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 rim device at the same 36 inch size as the SS99TP.
