Soap Dispenser Placement Requirements and
Recommendations
(See dispenser instructions in dispenser package for actual dispenser installation)
The following recommendations are intended to provide guidelines on best possible placement of
handsoap dispensers. Because every location a dispenser is to be mounted is different,
depending on customer site, physical size limitations, and available space, these
recommendations may not always be entirely possible to follow. However, when placing a soap
dispenser, the dispenser installation must meet ADA requirements and should promote ease of
use and be in union with its surroundings. Upon installation, the dispenser should be level and
the job results professional, presentable, and fully functional.
Requirements for ADA Compliance:
The dispenser must be operable with one hand.
Minimum height requirements reference the height of the activator mechanism.
