Sargent 68-2342 Chassis Pack for 12-8816 Fire-Rated Exit Device — RHRB

The Sargent 68-2342 is a genuine OEM Chassis Assembly — also referred to as a chassis pack — engineered specifically for the Sargent 80 Series exit device. This core operating assembly serves as the mechanical heart of the exit device: when the push bar is depressed, the push rail transfers that force directly to this chassis, which retracts the latch to allow immediate egress. The 68-2342 is factory-configured for Right Hand Reverse Bevel (RHRB) applications and is the correct replacement or service chassis for the 12-8816 Fire-Rated exit device model.
