Hand Dryers

In 1948, World Dryer Corporation introduced the concept of warm-air hand drying. Today, World Dryer continues to design and manufacture products with outstanding attention to quality and performance:

• 90% cost savings over paper towels;
• Environmentally-friendly – paper towels cannot be recycled and consume precious resources in their manufacturing process;
• Warm-air hand dryers have been clinically proven to be more sanitary than paper towels;
• Durable and reliable – the average life of a World dryer is 15 years.

HAND DRYER PLANNING GUIDE

Quantity Estimate
Average traffic washroom – 1 dryer per 2 washbasins
Heavy traffic washroom – 1 dryer per washbasin
54" Bradley sink – 4 dryers per sink

Dryer Placement
Hand dryers should be placed at least 2 feet apart, near but not over the washbasin. In congested areas, dryer should be placed to create a traffic flow from washbasin to dryer to exit.

Dryer Installation
Hand dryers require a dedicated circuit and must be properly grounded. GFI Circuit protection is recommended. One side of dryer should be mounted to stud.
