Rockwood BFRC24 Vertical Rod Cover | 24" Stainless Steel Guard

The Rockwood BFRC24 Vertical Rod Cover is an essential protective accessory designed to safeguard surface-mounted vertical rods on exit devices. Standing 24 inches tall, this extended guard provides a much larger protection zone than standard covers, making it the ideal choice for hospital corridors, loading docks, and service entrances. It acts as a heavy-duty shield against the heavy impact of gurneys, equipment carts, and pallet jacks that can easily bend or disable unprotected latching rods.

Maximum Rod Protection & Durability

• Expanded 24-Inch Shield: The extra height ensures that rods are protected from the floor up to the mid-section of the door, where the majority of cart and gurney impacts occur.
• Heavy-Duty 18-Gauge Construction: Crafted from .050" thick stainless steel, this cover is engineered to absorb significant impact without deforming, ensuring your exit hardware remains functional and compliant.
  
• Corrosion-Resistant US32D Finish: The Satin Stainless Steel finish is perfect for sterile environments and high-moisture areas, offering excellent resistance to oxidation and harsh chemical cleaners.
• Low-Profile Design: With a 1-5/8" projection, it provides ample clearance for the rod while remaining slim enough to avoid becoming a catch-point for passing traffic.
