Hager 8228-04W/00 Narrow Hardwired Wave/Push Plate Actuator — ADA Compliant, US32D

The Hager 8228-04W/00 is a narrow-profile, hardwired wheelchair actuator combining a wave-to-open sensor and a push plate in a single unit. Finished in US32D (satin stainless) with a blue ISA wheelchair graphic and "Push to Open" legend, this actuator is engineered to trigger low-energy power operators — including the Hager 8300 Series — for ADA-compliant automatic door openings. It is the correct hardwired replacement for facilities that previously specified the now-discontinued 8400 Series actuator.

Important: Per Hager's 2025–2026 product revisions, the 8400 Series actuator has been discontinued. The 8228 Series (including this 8228-04W/00) is the current Hager hardwired actuator platform. Confirm compatibility with your low-energy operator before ordering.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dual Activation Modes: Combines touchless wave-to-open sensing with a physical push-plate surface, giving users a choice of activation method on a single unit — ideal for mixed-traffic ADA openings.
• Narrow Plate Profile: Designed for installations where mounting space is limited or a low-profile aesthetic is required alongside the door operator.
• Hardwired Reliability: Direct wired connection (no batteries, no RF pairing) provides consistent, low-maintenance activation performance in high-traffic institutional environments.
• ADA-Compliant Graphics: ISA wheelchair symbol with "Push to Open" text in blue meets accessibility signage requirements for public-access automatic door openings.
• US32D Finish: Satin stainless steel appearance with blue icon integrates cleanly into institutional and healthcare interiors; coordinates with standard commercial hardware finishes.
• Low-Energy Operator Compatible: Designed to interface with the Hager 8300 Series low-energy operators; verify control wiring requirements against the operator's installation documentation.
• 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty: Backed by Hager Companies' standard commercial hardware warranty.

Typical Applications

• Healthcare facilities — hospital corridors, clinic entrances, exam-room suites
• Educational buildings — accessible classroom and gymnasium entries
• Government and municipal buildings — public lobbies and restroom corridors
• Retail and commercial interiors — ADA-required automatic door openings
• Any low-energy power-operator installation requiring a hardwired, ADA-compliant actuator
