Sargent 98-2594 Hurricane Mullion Bottom Retainer Pack for HCL980 & 12-HCL980
The Sargent 98-2594 is a Mullion Bottom Retainer Pack engineered specifically for the Sargent HCL980 and 12-HCL980 removable mullions within the Sargent 80 Series door hardware system. These steel mullions are purpose-built for severe wind load conditions associated with hurricanes and windstorms, tested to Dade County protocols and ASTM standards. The 98-2594 bottom retainer pack is the factory-designated catalog accessory that secures the base of those mullions at the floor, ensuring proper alignment and structural integrity during high-wind events. The 12-HCL980 prefix designates the fire-labeled mullion version, and this retainer pack is compatible with both standard and fire-labeled configurations. Retainers in this pack are constructed of malleable iron, as catalog-specified by Sargent.
