Sargent NB-8715-J-ETB-96 Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device, Passage Function, ET Control, B Lever, 37-42" Dr, 96" Dr Ht, Hex Key Dogging, Less Bottom Rod
The Sargent NB-8715-J-ETB-96 is a surface-mounted vertical rod exit device engineered for demanding commercial openings. Built for doors between 37 and 42 inches wide and up to 96 inches tall, this device delivers reliable panic egress with a passage (exit only) function, allowing free exit at all times. It features the ETB trim with the B lever for pull-side access and comes less bottom rod (LBR), which keeps the lower portion of the door clear for easier maintenance and better floor clearance. Hex key dogging lets authorized staff hold the latch retracted for push/pull operation during high-traffic periods. A dependable choice for schools, healthcare, and institutional facilities.
