SDC PT-3V Surface-Mount Power Transfer Door Loop

18" Armored Flex Conduit | Aluminum Termination Boxes | 1/4" I.D. | 628 Satin Aluminum

Provide a simple, durable wiring path between the frame and electrified door hardware with the SDC PT-3V Surface-Mount Power Transfer Loop.

Designed for commercial access-control installations, the PT-3V transfers power and/or control wiring from the stationary door frame to equipment mounted on the moving door. Its stainless steel armored flexible conduit helps protect wiring as the door opens and closes, while aluminum termination boxes provide a clean surface-mounted installation.

The PT-3V is especially suited for hollow metal and aluminum door frames where a concealed mortise power transfer is not required.

Power Transfer Application

The PT-3V creates a protected pathway for wires that must travel from the stationary frame to electrified hardware mounted on the moving door.

Typical connected equipment can include:

• Electrified Exit Devices

• Electric Locks

• Electric Latch Retraction

• Request-to-Exit Devices

• Door Monitoring Contacts

• Access-Control Hardware

• Electrified Locksets

• Other Compatible Low-Voltage Door Hardware

The flexible armored conduit moves with the door while helping protect conductors from physical damage.

Surface-Mount Design

Unlike concealed mortise power-transfer devices, the PT-3V installs directly on the surface of the door and frame.

This makes it especially useful for:

• Retrofit access-control projects

• Existing hollow metal doors

• Aluminum storefront entrances

• Openings where mortising the door or frame is undesirable

• Commercial door upgrades

Aluminum Termination Boxes

The PT-3V differs from the PT-2U by using aluminum box end caps / termination boxes rather than plastic ends.

SDC identifies the standard PT-3V configuration as:

Surface Loop – Aluminum Box End Caps – 628 Finish.

628 Satin Aluminum Finish

628 = Satin Aluminum / Clear Anodized

This finish coordinates well with common commercial aluminum storefront frames, automatic door headers, exit devices, and architectural hardware.

Common Applications

• Aluminum Storefront Doors

• Hollow Metal Doors

• Electrified Exit Devices

• Access-Controlled Entrances

• Commercial Entry Doors

• Schools

• Hospitals

• Office Buildings

• Retail Facilities

• Government Buildings

• Warehouses

• Industrial Facilities

Important

This device provides the physical pathway for wiring between the frame and door. Electrical conductors and connected locking hardware should be selected according to the required voltage, current, conductor count, and access-control system.

Verify:

• Required wire quantity and gauge

• Door swing and mounting location

• Frame construction

• Door construction

• Required conduit diameter

• Connected hardware requirements before installation.
