It should not be confused with extension rods designed for other Liberty exit-device series.

Always verify the existing panic-device series before ordering.

12" Extension

The extension provides:

12 inches of additional vertical rod length

This is useful when the standard rod supplied with the SVR device does not reach the required top or bottom latch location.

Typical applications include:

• Taller-than-standard commercial doors

• Special-height openings

• Replacement doors

• Existing SVR systems being modified

• Exit-device retrofit projects

Surface Vertical Rod Application

A Surface Vertical Rod (SVR) exit device uses exposed rods mounted vertically along the face of the door.

The rods connect the pushpad mechanism to the corresponding latch assemblies.

Depending on the configuration, an SVR device may operate:

• Top latch

• Bottom latch

• Both top and bottom latches

Proper rod length and adjustment are critical for reliable operation.
