Sargent 12-8715F Etl Rhr 32D Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device

Product Description

The SARGENT 12-8715F ETL RHR 32D is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device built for wide stile door applications in commercial and institutional settings. This unit features a wide stile pushpad, passage function, and an L lever with escutcheon on the exterior. It is rated for fire-rated openings and accommodates a 36-inch door width and an 84-inch door height. The less dogging configuration means the latchbolt cannot be held retracted, a requirement on most fire-rated doors. Finished in satin stainless steel, this device is designed for high-traffic openings where durability and code compliance are both required.

This exit device is intended for commercial or institutional single-door installations on wide stile aluminum or steel doors. The right hand reverse designation applies to doors that are right-hand reverse in swing orientation. The passage function allows free egress from the secured side while permitting access from the exterior via the L lever trim. Typical installations include stairwell doors, exit corridors, and other fire-rated openings where vertical rod latching at both the top and bottom of the door is required.

Key Features

• Grade 1 heavy-duty construction for high-traffic commercial applications
• Surface vertical rod design latches at top and bottom of the door
• Wide stile pushpad fits aluminum wide stile door frames
• Fire-rated for use on fire-rated door assemblies (ETL listed)
• Less dogging configuration maintains fire-rated integrity
• L lever with escutcheon provides exterior passage access
• Satin stainless steel finish for corrosion resistance in demanding environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation exit device for Grade 1 surface vertical rod applications on 36-inch wide stile doors with an 84-inch door height in right hand reverse configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed door hardware specialist or qualified commercial door contractor familiar with ANSI and local fire code requirements. Before installation or service, verify the door assembly is in the closed and latched position and that the opening is not actively required for egress. Confirm the door leaf hand and handing designation before mounting to avoid incorrect strike alignment. All fire-rated door hardware installations must comply with NFPA 80 and applicable local fire codes, and the completed assembly should be inspected by the authority having jurisdiction.
