Adams Rite 8802EL48-24 Crash Bar 48 in 24V

Product Description

The ADAMS RITE 8802EL48-24 is an electrified crash bar designed for controlled egress applications in commercial door hardware installations. Operating at 24 volts, this 48-inch exit device integrates an electric latch retraction mechanism that allows facility managers and security integrators to control door release remotely or through access control systems. It is field-installed by licensed locksmiths, door hardware specialists, and commercial electricians working on single-door exit assemblies where both panic hardware compliance and electrified access control are required.

This crash bar is suited for commercial and institutional buildings where code-compliant emergency egress must coexist with controlled entry or delayed egress. Typical applications include stairwell doors, corridor exits, and perimeter doors in schools, hospitals, offices, and retail environments. The 48-inch bar length accommodates standard double-width or wide single-door openings. Integration with low-voltage access control panels, electric strikes, and alarm systems is a common install scenario for this device.

• 48-inch bar length fits wide single and narrow double door configurations
• Crash bar (exit device) design supports code-compliant emergency egress

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style electrified exit device for commercial door assemblies requiring a 48-inch crash bar with 24-volt electric latch retraction. Consult door hardware schedules and access control documentation to confirm fitment with specific door frames and power supply configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed door hardware specialist or commercial electrician familiar with ANSI exit device standards and local building codes governing emergency egress. Disconnect and lock out all access control power supplies before wiring the electric latch retraction leads. Verify that the building access control panel can supply sufficient 24-volt current before completing the circuit. Do not modify the crash bar housing or latch mechanism, as alterations may void compliance with applicable fire and life safety codes.
