Ives 7226 Btm US26D Bottom Pivot 3/4 Inch Offset

Product Description

The IVES 7226 BTM US26D is a bottom pivot designed for use in commercial and residential door hardware applications. This pivot provides a 3/4 inch offset and features a Satin Chrome finish. Bottom pivots work in conjunction with top pivots and intermediate pivots to support the full weight of a door along a vertical axis, allowing smooth, controlled swing without placing stress on the door frame. This hardware is typically installed by commercial door and hardware specialists or finish carpenters working on pivot-hung door assemblies.

This bottom pivot is suited for pivot-hung door systems where consistent offset geometry is required. The 3/4 inch offset positions the pivot point away from the door face, which affects the door swing arc and clearance at the floor. It is commonly used in commercial entry applications, interior corridor doors, and high-traffic doorways where pivot hardware is specified over conventional butt hinges.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch offset for proper door swing geometry in pivot-hung assemblies
• Satin Chrome (US26D) finish for a clean, low-sheen appearance that coordinates with standard commercial hardware finishes
• Bottom pivot configuration designed to carry door load at the floor-mounted bearing point
• Compatible with standard pivot door hardware systems requiring a bottom floor pivot component

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation bottom pivot for pivot-hung door assemblies requiring a 3/4 inch offset bottom pivot component.

Installation Notes

Bottom pivots are installed by commercial door hardware technicians or qualified finish carpenters. The door must be fully removed and supported before replacing or installing pivot hardware. Floor and header conditions should be verified for proper alignment before securing the pivot. Refer to the door manufacturer specifications and applicable building codes when specifying pivot hardware for rated door assemblies.
