Sargent 12-56-8873-J-ETP-12V Electrified Fire Rated Rim Exit Device, Electric Latch Retraction, Fail Safe Power Off Unlocks Lever, No Cylinder, For 37-42 Inch Width Door, Less Dogging
The Sargent 12-56-8873-J-ETP-12V is a heavy-duty electrified rim exit device built for fire-rated openings that require secure, access-controlled egress. Designed for 37 to 42 inch wide doors, this Grade 1 device features Electric Latch Retraction (ELR), allowing the latch to be pulled back remotely for controlled access or integration with automatic operators and card readers. The J-ETP lever trim provides fail-safe operation, meaning a loss of power unlocks the lever for free passage. As a fire-rated device, it ships less dogging and operates on 12V. Ideal for commercial and institutional applications demanding reliable security and life-safety compliance.
Features
- Electric Latch Retraction (ELR) allows the latch bolt to be retracted electrically for remote access and automatic operator coordination.
- Fail-safe design unlocks the J-ETP lever trim when power is removed, supporting controlled egress during power loss.
- Fire-rated construction suitable for labeled fire door assemblies.
- Sized for doors measuring 37 to 42 inches in width.
- Rim-mounted exit device for surface strike applications.
- Supplied less cylinder, allowing use of your preferred keying system.
- Less dogging, as required for fire-rated installations.
- Operates on 12V DC for easy integration with low-voltage access control.
Functional Details
The 56- prefix designates Electric Latch Retraction, which uses a solenoid or motor to pull the latch back electrically, enabling momentary or sustained remote release and push-pull operation when paired with automatic operators. The ETP fail-safe trim releases the lever upon power interruption, ensuring the opening can be entered from the outside during an emergency.
- Electric latch retraction allows remote unlatching of the exit device.
- Fail-safe electrified trim unlocks the lever when power is removed.
- Compatible with access control systems and automatic door operators.
Arm Type Details
This unit uses the J-type lever trim, a return-style lever that meets ADA requirements and provides durable, code-compliant access from the pull side of the door. The ETP designation adds electrified fail-safe functionality to the trim.
Included Components
The device includes the rim exit chassis with electric latch retraction, the J-ETP electrified fail-safe lever trim, and mounting hardware. A mortise cylinder is not included and must be ordered separately if required.
