PDQ 4200RF 36" UL Fire-Rated Rim Exit Device - Commercial Grade 3-Foot Panic Bar
The PDQ 4200RF is a high-performance, UL Fire-Rated Rim Exit Device engineered to provide life-safety egress and fire protection for 36" (3-foot) commercial door openings. Designed for medium-duty applications, this device bridges the gap between residential hardware and expensive heavy-duty exit bars, offering a robust solution for schools, office complexes, and healthcare facilities.
Unlike standard panic bars, the 4200RF is specifically built to withstand the intense heat of a fire. It features a heavy-duty steel chassis and a stainless steel latch bolt that remains secure even under extreme thermal stress, ensuring that fire doors remain latched to prevent the spread of smoke and flames.
ANSI/BHMA Function: Fire Exit Hardware (Rim Type)
The PDQ 4200RF serves as a primary "Life Safety" device. In a fire-rated application, the function of the hardware is twofold: to allow immediate exit and to ensure positive latching.
- Emergency Egress: A slight pressure on the touch bar at any point instantly retracts the latch, allowing occupants to exit the building safely during an emergency.
- Positive Latching: Because this is a Fire-Rated (RF) device, it does not include a dogging feature. Fire codes require that fire doors remain latched at all times to maintain the integrity of the fire barrier; therefore, the latch cannot be manually held in the retracted position.
- Safety Logic: The device is UL Listed for Fire Exit Hardware (up to 3 hours on "A" label doors), ensuring it meets the most stringent National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 80) standards.
