Introduction

Floor closers provide the best mechanical means of controlling a door. They are designed to work with the laws of physics to provide long-lasting performance and reliability.
The weight of the door is supported entirely by the bottom arm, which is directly connected to the floor closer spindle. This hanging means provides several important mechanical advantages:
• Fasteners on the door and frame are in shear rather than tension (as with hinges) and are less likely to pull out over time. This creates less stress on the frame assembly, prevents door sagging and allows the door to swing with less resistance from friction.
• A door supported in this manner relies on the strength of the floor to carry the weight, not the frame. This allows extremely heavy doors to be hung in an opening and lets any weight door swing with more efficient geometry.Doors hung on floor closers also allow for vertical adjustment throughout the life of the building to compensate for settlement.
• The direct connection between the bottom arm and the floor closer spindle creates a tremendous increase in efficiency compared to surface closers with exposed arms.
A floor closer produces an 85% closing force to opening force ratio where surface closers are approximately 60% efficient. A floor closer is far superior in closing a door when weather conditions or building stack pressure are factors. Rixson® Heavy-Duty Floor Closers take this efficiency concept to an even higher level by utilizing helical torsion springs. In addition to these important mechanical and door control advantages, floor closers are fully concealed to maintain aesthetic design of the opening and to prevent vandalism or tampering by unauthorized individuals.

Features

• Floor closers are fully concealed to maintain aesthetic design of the opening.
• Full weight of door is borne by floor closer, providing trouble-free operation and long life.
• Doors up to 1,500 pounds are accommodated, allowing standard and heavy doors in a building to be hung by the same means.
• Available offset or center hung to accommodate any installation.
• Vertical adjustment provides for field adjustment of the door if required.
• Specification of heavy panels on the door face with standard offset floor closer preparation available.
• Full floor-to-ceiling concealment is offered for center hung doors, providing almost unlimited design flexibility.
• Extended spindles available to accommodate any floor condition.
• Offset models available 3/4" or 1-1/2" offset.
• Offset models available for lead-lined doors.
• Offset models available for fire door assemblies up to three hours.
• Spring tension and closing speed are field adjustable.
• Built-in fully adjustable hydraulic backcheck standard on 27 and 28.
• Available in all standard architectural finishes.

Performance

Selective Hold-Open (SHO)
Factory-installed on 27 & 28 Series closers. Hold-open may be turned on/off.
Automatic Hold-Open (AHO)
Available on certain series closers with or without dead stop. Preset at factory for specific degree of hold-open. Degree of hold-open cannot be changed, nor can closer be made into non hold-open.
Delayed Action (DA)
Provided on barrier-free installations. Permits door to remain ajar (at 70°) for up to 30 seconds. Operates by separate valve and can be shut off if not needed. Not available on closers furnished with cold weather fluid, and not recommended for exterior applications because of weather factors. (27 & 28 series only)
Physically Handicapped (PH)
To comply with guidelines established in the American With Disabilities Act, lighter opening forces are met if closers are ordered with a PH prefix. If 5 pounds of opening on interior doors is needed, simply order PH. If 8.5# of force is needed, specify Prefix PH and suffix 8.5#. Be advised that lower opening forces mean lower closer forces. PH products should not be ordered for exterior doors or fire rated openings. Fire/Lifesafety openings take precedence over the convenience of ADA. Securing a building is also a major concern and a lighter closer may not be strong enough to secure a latch bolt in a strike. Use care when specifying PH products.
Cold Weather Fluid (CWF)
Should be considered in installations where ground temperature is constantly below +15°F.May be used in temperatures as low as -35°F.
Sealed Closer (SC)
Used where water contact may occur. Provides gasketing and a cover plate that are epoxied around the case with the closer inside.Not available for replacement closers unless cement case is also replaced.
Fire Rated (F)
Used on labeled fire door requiring steel base pivot. PH with 3 pounds of opening force may not be used on fire doors.

Questions and Answers
Q: hav e a Rixson 30 will a Rixson 328 work as a replacement?
A: Why are you looking to replace your 30 with a 328?
Q: We have several public and private projects, which we are interested in Rixson closer. 1) I would like to double check that this Rixson 328 Closer meets ADA requirement of less than 5 pounds. 2) This closer would be installed in the floor slab, and wonder if you could advise the minimum concrete slab thickness requirement under this 328 floor closer with casement. Thank you again for your confirmation. Best, Taigo
A: Per Rixson technical support department the minimum slab thickness is the same as 28, H28 or any other heavy duty closer. This value is defined very indirectly by reviewing the height of the cement case as defined on page 22 here:

Which shows the height as 4-1/16"

and then following the Installation Instructions here:

Download File

you see the called out the depth of the preparation to be 4-1/2"

Therefore I understand the answer to the question to be 7/16" is the minimum concrete slab thickness requirement under the Rixson 328 Center Hung Floor Closer.
