Ives 7230F Btm US32D Bottom Pivot Fire Rated

Product Description

The IVES 7230F BTM US32D is a bottom pivot designed for fire-rated door applications where a 3/4 inch offset is required. This pivot mounts at the base of the door to support proper swing and alignment in commercial and institutional doorframes. Finished in satin stainless steel (US32D), it resists corrosion and maintains a consistent appearance in high-traffic environments. Door hardware installers and commercial finish carpenters typically specify this component as part of a complete pivot hinge set on heavy-duty swinging doors.

This bottom pivot is suited for commercial interior and entry doors that must meet fire-rating requirements. The 3/4 inch offset configuration accommodates standard door preparations where the pivot centerline is set back from the door face. It is commonly installed in office buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, and other commercial construction where fire-rated door assemblies are required by code.

Key Features

• Fire-rated construction for use in compliant door assemblies
• 3/4 inch offset pivot geometry for standard commercial door preparations
• Satin stainless steel finish (US32D) for corrosion resistance and clean appearance
• Bottom pivot position provides base support for proper door swing and alignment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation bottom pivot for commercial fire-rated swinging door assemblies requiring a 3/4 inch offset configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed door hardware installer or commercial carpenter in accordance with the door manufacturer's fire-rating label requirements and applicable building codes. The door and frame must be properly prepared to the correct pivot pocket dimensions before mounting. Always verify that the complete door assembly, including all pivot components, maintains the required fire-rating listing. Do not modify the pivot or door preparation in any way that could void the fire-rating certification.
