Sargent 1431 OTB Powerglide® Door Closer | Pull Side Track Arm with Bumper
The Sargent 1431 OTB Door Closer is a premier, architectural-grade solution engineered for high-traffic commercial and institutional environments. As a cornerstone of the Powerglide® series, the 1431 OTB features a Standard Pull Side Track Arm equipped with an integrated Track Bumper. This design provides a sleek, low-profile alternative to traditional projecting arms, mounting the track directly to the frame face on the pull side of the door. The built-in bumper assists the hydraulic backcheck by cushioning the door near its maximum opening angle, significantly reducing wear and tear on the door and frame.
Constructed from a robust 14% silicon aluminum alloy, the one-piece die-cast body offers exceptional durability and is certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards. This non-handed closer is field-adjustable for spring power sizes 1 through 6, ensuring it can be tuned to meet specific door weights and draft conditions. Designed for both interior and exterior applications, the 1431 OTB is pre-filled with all-weather hydraulic fluid to maintain consistent performance in extreme temperatures without manual intervention.
Advanced Engineering & Safety Features
- Integrated Track Bumper: The OTB track includes a specialized bumper that assists backcheck by cushioning the door swing. Note: This bumper is a cushioning device and does not replace the requirement for an auxiliary floor or wall stop.
- Precision Control Valves: Separate brass, low-sensitivity valves allow for independent regulation of closing speed, latching speed, and backcheck intensity.
- Tamper-Resistant Security: All adjustment valves are recessed, operated by an 1/8" Allen wrench, and captivated within the body to prevent unauthorized removal or vandalism.
- Superior Durability: Features a 1-1/2" diameter piston and heat-treated full closed rack and pinion for precision control from the full open position down to the final latch.
- Fire Safety Compliance: UL/cUL listed for use on fire-rated doors and conforms to UL10C and UBC positive pressure standards.
