Dormakaba Rci 991E-PTD-32D Pneumatic Mushroom Button

Product Description

The DORMAKABA RCI 991E-PTD-32D is a pneumatic mushroom-style push button designed for access control and exit device applications. It uses air-pressure actuation rather than electrical switching at the button itself, making it suitable for environments where spark-free operation is a priority. The red mushroom cap provides a highly visible, easy-to-activate surface for controlled egress. This type of device is typically installed by licensed electricians or access control technicians working on door hardware and security systems in commercial or institutional facilities.

The 991E-PTD-32D is intended for use in commercial door control systems where pneumatic activation is specified. Typical installations include industrial facilities, cleanrooms, or secure areas requiring hands-free or low-force door release. The satin stainless finish designation (32D) suits stainless steel door hardware assemblies and meets common aesthetic standards for commercial hardware. It is sold as a single unit and is part of the RCI line of access control and egress components distributed under the DORMAKABA brand.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or credentialed access control technician familiar with commercial door hardware and local building codes. De-energize and depressurize the connected pneumatic system before removing or installing this button. Follow applicable codes including NFPA 101 life safety requirements for egress hardware in commercial occupancies. Do not over-tighten mounting hardware on the door or frame to avoid damaging the actuator body.
