Installation of the GLOBAL DOOR TH1100EDTBARFSS Fire-Rated Touch Bar Exit Device can be done following the steps outlined in the instruction manual. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you with the installation process:

1. Determine the appropriate mounting height: It is recommended to install the device at 41" from the finished floor to the center line of the push rail.

2. Prepare the door: Ensure that the door meets the specifications for thickness and width. The device is suitable for doors with a thickness of 1-3/4" up to 2" and a width of 36" (can be field-sized to 30").

3. Prepare the stile: For single doors, the minimum stile width should be 4-1/4". For double doors, the minimum stile width should be 4-1/2".

4. Install the strike: For single doors, the strike should be surface-mounted for a 5/8" stop with a shim. For double doors, the top strike should be surface-mounted, and the bottom strike should be flat mortise or into the threshold. For vertical/rim application, use the DBLST double-door strike.

5. Install the latch: The device comes with a stainless steel latch with a 3/4" throw and a 5/8" deadlatch. Ensure that the latch is properly aligned and installed according to the instructions in the manual.

6. Install the push bar: The push bar is made of extruded anodized aluminum and should be installed according to the instructions in the manual. It is non-handed and reversible, allowing for flexibility in installation.

7. Install the fasteners: The device comes with sheet metal and machine screws for installation. Follow the instructions in the manual to securely fasten the device to the door.

8. Optional features: The device accepts key trim cylinders with a flat tailpiece for added security. It also has a dogging feature that can be activated or deactivated using a 1/2" turn hex key.

9. Finishing touches: The device is available in different finishes, including AL (aluminum), DU (duranodic), and US32D (stainless steel). Choose the finish that best suits your aesthetic preferences.
