Sargent 8873-J-ETP-12V Rim Exit Device, Fail Safe Power Off Unlocks Lever, ET Control, P Lever, No Cylinder, 37-42" Dr Width, Hex Key Dogging, 12VAC/DC Electrified, Grade 1

The Sargent 8873-J-ETP-12V is a Grade 1 electrified rim exit device engineered for secure, dependable access control on commercial openings. Built for doors between 37 and 42 inches wide, it features a fail safe design where cutting power unlocks the outside ET lever trim, making it ideal for egress-critical applications and emergency protocols. Operating on 12VAC/DC, this device pairs the durable 8800 series rim chassis with the ET trim and P lever design, and it ships without a cylinder for flexible keying. Hex key dogging allows the push bar to be held in a retracted position for high-traffic periods, giving facility managers reliable, code-compliant performance.

Functional Details

The 8873 is a fail safe electrified rim exit device. When voltage is applied, the outside ET lever trim is locked; when power is interrupted, the trim becomes free to operate, allowing entry and ensuring fail safe behavior. The inside push bar always permits free egress regardless of power state.

• Fail Safe (power off unlocks outside lever)
• Latchbolt monitoring and remote control options available
• Non-handed, field-reversible as applicable

Arm Type Details

This is a rim-mounted exit device, surface-applied to the interior face of the door. The latch engages a surface-mounted strike on the frame, making it suitable for single doors and the active leaf of pairs with a mullion.

Included Components

The device includes the rim exit chassis, ET control with P lever outside trim, and hex key dogging hardware. No cylinder is included, allowing the installer to supply a mortise cylinder for the keyed function.
