IMPORTANT: Consult local and general regulations before performing dryer installation. Make certain that the electrical
network is not overloaded. Do not connect to a branch circuit with a circuit breaker or fuse rated over 20 Amps. This is a UL
recommendation and complies with NEC.
A)
DISCONNECT THE POWER SOURCE.
B)
Fit and Finish Precautions;
1) Mount the hand dryer wall box at the recommended height per Table #1.
2) Mount the wall box flush - to a maximum of 1/8” (3.2mm) below the
finished wall surface for a proper recessed fit.
3) Caulking is recommended AFTER installation of the aluminum base
assembly for a finished look and to help keep water out of the appliance.
(Caulking before installation may create a fit problem.)
C)
Mounting the Steel Wall Box;
CAUTION: Proper installation requires that the base be installed into the
steel wall box supplied.
1) Locate the steel wall box in the wall at the desired position, having the lower
edge of the box at the selected height specified in Table #1.
2) When two or more dryers are installed, they should be spaced 24” (61cm) minimum from center to center.
3) To mount the wall box, frame the opening in the wall per Figure #1.
4) Allow an opening in the framing to correspond with the preferred wall box knock-out for easy access of electrical conduit.
5) Mount the wall box in the opening. Fasten with No.10 (M5) wood screws or appropriate fasteners as required.
6) Using the nearest suitable distribution panel, run conduit.
7) To limit voltage drop for efficient operation, use No. 12 wire or larger as required by local electrical code or NEC.
8) Automatic hand dryers require dedicated 20 amp circuits to avoid unattended starting due to voltage fluctuations. This includes
avoiding switched lighting circuits or other circuits where equipment may be switched on / off.
9) Provide a minimum length of 24” (61cm) of wire in the wall box to allow easy connection to the dryer terminals.
D)
Mounting the Dryer in the Wall Box;
1) Remove all shipping / packing material including the protective rubber corner squares if present on the dryer cover.
2) Use the security allen wrench supplied, to remove the (2) cover mounting screws. Remove the cover from the dryer base
assembly.
CAUTION: should be exercised when handling porcelain enameled cast iron covers. Do not drop or hit against hard
surfaces to avoid damaging the porcelain enamel.
3) Insert the base assembly in the pre-mounted wall box.
4) Facing the dryer, the blower housing will be on the left side as installed.
5) Fasten the base to the wall box with (4) 1/4-20 screws supplied.
6) Route the wires through
the openings in the base
assembly.
7) Connect field wires to the
terminal block identified as
(L / N, L1 / L2).
8) Securely connect a
confirmed ground wire to the
ground screw point.
DANGER: This hand dryer
must be properly earth
connected (grounded).
CAUTION: Route field wires
away from any moving
parts or sharp edges.
9) Install the Hand Dryer
Cover with the (2) mounting
screws. To avoid chipping
the porcelain enamel, do not
over-tighten.
INSTALLATION MUST BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL PERSONNEL.
