Always get the absolute best price on the Excel Dryer TA-GR ThinAir Hand Dryer at ProDryers. We are a top trusted national, master distributor for Excel Dryer. The new TA-GR ThinAir is a great addition to the Excel Dryer family expanding the industry standard Xlerator name with a new thin designed high speed hand dryer that satisfies ADA depth requirements as a surface mount unit. The ThinAir requires nothing more than a simple wall mount installation eliminating the older methods of recessing hand dryers into the wall to achieve ADA compliance. As an informational resource, read more on the differences of handicap accessible vs. ADA compliance with hand dryers. The Xlerator hand dryer is still the #1 selling and #1 suggested Excel Dryer product. However, if ADA compliance is a requirement, the new TA-GR ThinAir is the perfect solution! ADA guidelines state that fixtures mounted above 27" must not protrude more than 4" from the wall.

Expert Insight
Why We Recommend the Excel Dryer TA-GR ThinAir
The Excel Dryer TA-GR ThinAir combines high-speed hand drying with a slim graphite cabinet that projects only 4 inches from the wall. We often recommend this model for commercial restrooms that must address ADA protrusion requirements without the added labor and wall modifications associated with a recessed dryer. Its approximately 15-second dry time, adjustable speed and sound, selectable heat, washable pre-filter, and touch-free activation provide adaptable performance in a contemporary design.
Best Applications
The TA-GR ThinAir is well suited for offices, schools, healthcare buildings, restaurants, hotels, libraries, government facilities, and renovation projects where available wall depth makes recessing a dryer impractical. Its graphite finish coordinates especially well with black, stainless steel, and other modern restroom accessories.
Quick Tip
Meeting the 4-inch projection guideline does not make every installation automatically ADA compliant. Confirm the mounting height, operable-part reach range, clear floor space, electrical placement, and location within the circulation path before installation. These details are especially important when replacing a dryer mounted above 27 inches from the floor.
Common Question
How does the TA-GR ThinAir differ from the XLERATOR XL-GR?
The TA-GR has a 4-inch-deep cabinet designed for ADA-conscious surface mounting and provides an approximately 15-second dry time. The XL-GR projects farther from the wall and generally requires a recess kit where the 4-inch rule applies, but it provides a faster approximately 8-second dry time. Choose the ThinAir when shallow projection and simpler ADA planning are the primary considerations.
