Sargent 98-2600 Hurricane Mullion Bottom Retainer Pack for HC980, 12-HC980 & 12-HD980
The Sargent 98-2600 is the factory-catalog Mullion Bottom Retainer Pack designed specifically for use with the Sargent HC980, 12-HC980, and 12-HD980 removable steel mullions from the Sargent 80 Series exit device family. These mullions are engineered for severe wind load conditions — including hurricane and windstorm exposure — and have been tested to Dade County protocols and ASTM standards. The 98-2600 bottom retainer pack is the correct OEM replacement or installation accessory to properly anchor the bottom of these heavy-duty mullions, ensuring secure, code-compliant positioning at the base of the opening. Retainers in this pack are constructed of malleable iron, as listed in the Sargent 90 Series catalog (catalog 90128, 07/19).
The 12- prefix mullion models (12-HC980 and 12-HD980) are the fire-labeled versions of the corresponding non-prefixed mullions, making this retainer pack applicable to both standard and fire-labeled mullion installations. The companion bottom retainer pack is Sargent 98-2599, and the companion top retainer shim kit is Sargent 601. Specifiers and installers should confirm the correct companion accessories are included when completing a full mullion installation.
