The new TA-W 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.

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-W ThinAir
The Excel Dryer TA-W ThinAir provides high-speed hand drying in a slim cabinet with a durable white epoxy finish. We often recommend this model when a commercial restroom must address ADA wall-projection requirements without cutting into the wall for a recessed installation. Its 4-inch depth, approximately 15-second dry time, selectable heat, adjustable speed and sound, washable pre-filter, and touch-free sensor offer practical performance in a clean, versatile design.
Best Applications
The TA-W ThinAir is well suited for schools, offices, healthcare buildings, restaurants, hotels, libraries, government facilities, and renovation projects where recessed installation is impractical. Its neutral white finish coordinates easily with many commercial interiors, while the adjustable operating settings help balance drying performance, user comfort, sound, and energy consumption.
Quick Tip
Confirm the building voltage and electrical circuit before ordering. The 110–120V model draws approximately 8 amps, while the 208–240V model draws approximately 4 amps. Projects requiring a 230V, 50 Hz export configuration should verify availability and electrical compatibility before installation.
Common Question
How does the TA-W ThinAir differ from the XLERATOR XL-W?
The TA-W has a shallow 4-inch cabinet designed to satisfy ADA protrusion guidelines when surface mounted and provides an approximately 15-second dry time. The XL-W projects approximately 6-11/16 inches from the wall and may require 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 main priorities.
