Genuine Arrow F-Length Fire-Rated Replacement Push-Bar Rail Assembly for Commercial Exit Devices

The Arrow RF-36 Fire-Rated Replacement Rail Assembly is a commercial-grade replacement component designed specifically for compatible Arrow 3000 Series fire-rated exit devices.

Engineered for commercial doors measuring 32-1/4" to 36" wide, this F-length rail assembly provides a manufacturer-designated solution for replacing damaged, worn, or malfunctioning push-bar assemblies without requiring replacement of the entire fire exit device.

Unlike standard panic device replacement rails, the Arrow RF-36 features a fire-rated configuration intended for use with compatible Arrow 3000 Series fire exit hardware. When properly installed as part of an approved assembly, it helps restore reliable exit device operation while maintaining the required positive latching function.

Available in several architectural finishes, including Aluminum Painted, Dark Bronze Painted, Light Bronze Painted, Bright Brass, Satin Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Satin Stainless Steel, the RF-36 allows commercial door professionals to coordinate replacement hardware with existing door finishes.

Whether replacing a damaged panic bar rail, repairing commercial fire exit hardware, or completing routine facility maintenance, the Arrow RF-36 provides a genuine replacement solution for supported Arrow 3000 Series applications.

Important: This listing is for the fire-rated replacement rail assembly only, not a complete exit device.

Arrow 3000 Series Fire Exit Device Compatibility

The Arrow RF-36 is identified as the manufacturer's F-length fire-rated replacement rail for compatible Arrow 3000 Series exit devices.

Commercial fire exit hardware must provide reliable emergency egress while maintaining positive door latching when the door is closed.

The RF-36 replaces the designated operating rail assembly while allowing compatible existing latch chassis, strikes, and related components to remain in service when properly inspected and maintained.

Compatible Applications Include:

• Arrow 3000 Series fire exit devices

• Fire-rated F-length rail configurations

• Commercial doors measuring 32-1/4" to 36" wide

• Damaged fire exit device rail replacement

• Commercial fire door hardware refurbishment

• Institutional exit device maintenance

• Existing panic hardware repair projects

• General contractor renovation applications

Compatibility Note: The RF-36 is not automatically interchangeable with Arrow 4000, S1150, or S1250 Series rail assemblies. Verify the exact existing exit device model before ordering.

Fire-Rated Replacement Rail Configuration

The Arrow RF-36 is specifically designated for compatible fire exit hardware applications.

Fire-rated exit devices differ from standard panic hardware because the door must remain capable of closing and positively latching.

The replacement rail must operate correctly with the existing chassis, latch mechanism, and other approved exit device components.

Fire Exit Hardware Requirements:

• Compatible labeled fire door and frame assembly

• Manufacturer-approved replacement rail

• Positive mechanical latching

• Unrestricted interior emergency egress

• No mechanical dogging that holds the latch retracted

• Compatible existing exit device chassis

• Correct rail mounting and operating alignment

• Installation according to manufacturer instructions

• Compliance with applicable building and fire codes

Important: The RF-36 is a fire-rated replacement component. The rail by itself does not establish the fire rating of a complete door assembly.

Heavy-Duty F-Length Replacement Rail

The Arrow RF-36 provides the manufacturer's designated 36-inch nominal rail configuration for compatible 3000 Series fire exit devices.

Commercial exit hardware experiences repeated operation, physical impact, and normal mechanical wear. Over time, the operating rail or associated components may require replacement.

Common Reasons for Replacement:

• Bent or damaged push-bar rail

• Worn operating mechanism

• Physical impact damage from carts or equipment

• Damaged rail cover

• Commercial fire door maintenance

• Hardware refurbishment

• Existing exit device restoration

• Building renovation projects

• Replacement of matching architectural hardware

Replacing the correct rail assembly can help restore normal operation while preserving compatible existing exit device components.
