These closers are also listed by New York City Board of Standards and Appeals; Materials and Equipment Acceptance Division (41-60-SM).

applications
regular arm
This is the only pull-side application for the 2300BC series door closer. It is the most power-efficient application for a door closer. Sufficient frame, door and/or ceiling clearance must be considered.
Since the arm assembly projects directly out from the frame, this application may present an aesthetics issue or be prone to vandalism.
parallel arm
This application provides the most appealing design appearance for the 2300BC series door closer. It is on the push side of the door and the arm assembly extends almost parallel to the door. In the closed position, there is very little or no hardware projecting beyond the frame face in most situations.
Due to the geometry of the arm it is approximately 25% less power-efficient than a regular arm application.
The entire closer and arm assembly are mounted below the frame stop, requiring a top rail clearance on the door of 5" (127mm), without using a drop plate. A 2388 drop plate requires a top rail clearance of just 2-5/8" (67mm).
top jamb
For efficiency reasons this push side application provides the best alternative to the regular arm application. There must be sufficient frame face and/or ceiling clearance for this application. It requires a top rail on the door of just 1-7/8" (48mm). This application provides the best door control for doors in exterior walls that swing out of a building. It will accommodate frame reveals to a maximum of 2-7/8" (73mm).
The entire door closer and arm assembly project from the frame, similar to the regular arm application, where matters of appearance can be of concern.
features
Aluminum Alloy Housing
Closer bodies are constructed of a special aluminum alloy, carefully selected to accommodate interactive steel components and operating conditions.
Rack & Pinion Operation
Provides a smooth constant control of the door through its full opening and closing cycle. 180° door swing can be achieved when door, frame, hardware and arm function do not interfere.
Closer Fluid
All door closers are supplied with a temperature stable, multi-viscosity fluid. This fluid will permit the door closer to perform within a wide temperature range from very high to as low as -40°F.
Non-Handed
Pinion shaft extends vertically through the closer body in both directions. This permits the closer to be positioned on either right- or left-hand doors for most applications.
Non-Critical Control Valves
All control valves for sweep speed, latch speed and backcheck cushioning are non-critical and are adjusted by a standard 1/8" (3mm) hex wrench.
Adjustable Backcheck Cushion Valve
Provides control of the door in the opening cycle, beginning at approximately 75° of door opening. It slows/cushions the door opening when the door is forcibly opened beyond its pre-adjusted speed limitation.
Adjusta Power Shoe
Supplied as standard for a 15% (±7-1/2%) power adjustment by relocating the forearm at the shoe, for regular arm and top jamb non-hold open installations.
optional features
Hold Open Arm
Closer arm has adjustable hold open feature (90° to 180°). This arm is non-handed.

All dimensions are for reference only and are in inches (mm) unless otherwise noted. Door sizing information is based on installation on standard weight doors, 7'0" (213cm) high x 1-3/4" (44mm) thick; hung on anti-friction hinges and operating under normal conditions. Doors in excess of 7'8" (234cm) high or 1-3/4" (44mm) thick, templated openings beyond 150° or doors subject to wind or draft conditions will generally require the next larger size closer.
