Expert Insight
Why We Recommend the Excel Dryer TA-ABS ThinAir
The Excel Dryer TA-ABS ThinAir provides high-speed hand drying in a slim, surface-mounted design that projects only 4 inches from the wall. We often recommend this model when ADA protrusion requirements must be addressed without cutting into the wall for a recessed installation. Its approximately 15-second dry time, adjustable speed and sound controls, selectable heat, and automatic sensor activation make it adaptable to a wide range of commercial restrooms.
Best Applications
The TA-ABS ThinAir is well suited for schools, offices, healthcare buildings, restaurants, hotels, libraries, government facilities, and renovation projects where available wall depth makes recessing a dryer difficult. Its adjustable operating settings are particularly useful in restrooms where sound level, energy consumption, or user comfort must be balanced with drying performance.
Quick Tip
Set the speed, sound, and heating options during installation based on the restroom environment. Turning the heat off can reduce power consumption from approximately 960 watts to as little as 333 watts, while lower-speed settings may be preferable for quieter spaces. Confirm the selected voltage, electrical circuit, mounting height, reach range, and surrounding clearances before installation.
Common Question
Does the TA-ABS ThinAir require a recess kit for ADA compliance?
No. Its 4-inch-deep cabinet is designed to satisfy ADA protrusion guidelines as a surface-mounted hand dryer, eliminating the need for a recess kit solely to reduce projection. The complete installation must still follow applicable requirements for mounting height, reach range, clear floor space, electrical work, and placement along the circulation path.
