Sargent 68-2426 Chassis Assembly for 12-8816 80 Series Exit Device — RHRB

The Sargent 68-2426 is a genuine OEM Chassis Assembly designed as the core operating component for the Sargent 80 Series exit device. Also referenced by its full device designation 12-8816, this 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 egress. This replacement chassis is handed RHRB (Right Hand Reverse Bevel) and is supplied less cover. Sourced directly from Sargent, it maintains the precise tolerances and performance standards required for life-safety exit hardware on commercial and institutional doors.

Institutional Grade Features & Benefits

• Genuine OEM Component: Manufactured by Sargent to exact factory specifications, ensuring a reliable, drop-in fit within the 80 Series exit device chassis housing.
• Core Egress Mechanism: Serves as the central operating chassis — when the push rail is activated, this assembly retracts the latch for compliant, unobstructed egress.
• Fire-Rated Device Compatibility: Engineered to work within the fire-rated 12-8816 exit device configuration, supporting door assemblies where listed fire ratings must be maintained.
• Correct Handing: Configured for RHRB applications; proper handing ensures correct latch orientation and smooth mechanical operation.
• Less Cover Design: Supplied without the cover plate, making it ideal as a direct chassis replacement or when the existing cover is being retained or separately sourced.
• Restores Like-New Function: Replacing a worn or damaged chassis with this OEM unit restores proper push-bar-to-latch mechanical action, extending the service life of the installed 80 Series device.
