The wires in the EPT are larger than the wires in an electric hinge and are less prone to breaking. This is why we recommend the Von Duprin EPT10 with CX device but if necessary you may use a door loop or electric hinge. Note wire size requirements for EPT, door loop and electric hinge in table below.
See attached table for wire run and gauge requirements:
| Exit device | Wire run & gauge from power supply to EPT10 | Wire run from power supply to Elec. Hinge, Elec. Pivot | Wire run from power supply to door loop | Power supply model |
| EL or CX |
0-100', 14 gauge 0-200' max, 12 gauge |
0-75', 14 gauge 0-150' max 12 gauge |
0-100', 14 gauge 0-200' max, 12 gauge |
