Standard G-Length Replacement Rail

The R-48 is Arrow's standard G-length rail assembly for compatible 3000 Series exit devices.

Commercial panic hardware is exposed to repeated operation, physical contact, and occasional impact from equipment or carts. Over time, the operating rail may become damaged or worn.

Replacing the designated rail assembly can help restore normal operation without requiring replacement of every component.

• Worn push-bar mechanism

• Physical damage from carts or equipment

• Damaged rail cover

• Commercial hardware refurbishment

• Maintenance of older exit device installations

• Replacement during building renovations

• Matching an existing Arrow 3000 Series device

The R-48 provides a practical replacement option when the existing chassis and other associated hardware remain serviceable.
