Spec Planning Checklist
Traffic level and target dry time
Noise tolerance for the space
Electrical requirements including voltage, amperage, and circuit availability
Mounting style: surface, slim ADA, or recessed
ADA and protrusion compliance
Hygiene requirements such as HEPA filtration, antimicrobial surfaces, or water collection
Warranty and service parts availability
Finish and design preferences
Installation Notes
Confirm voltage and amperage before ordering. Many dryers require 15 A or 20 A circuits
Most commercial installations are hardwired. Verify local code if you want plug-in models
Use manufacturer templates for mounting and add blocking where needed
Always check ADA reach ranges and protrusion rules, especially in corridors and narrow spaces
Maintenance and Hygiene Best Practices
Wipe intake and outlet grilles regularly to keep airflow strong
Replace or clean HEPA filters on schedule if your unit has them
In dusty or lint-heavy areas, plan for quarterly intake cleaning
Keep a spare dryer or service kit in stock for high-traffic facilities to minimize downtime
Troubleshooting Quick Guide
Weak airflow: clear the intake grille, clean or replace the filter if applicable, and verify the unit is receiving the correct electrical supply per manufacturer specs.
No activation: check breaker, hidden on/off switch, and clean sensor lens
Too noisy: lower airspeed if adjustable, tighten mounting, or use isolators
Water on floor: use dryers with water collection systems or add splash guards (ProDryers tip: consider a water absorbing rug, and/or install dryers near the sink to avoid dripping water on the way to use the hand dryer)
FAQs
Do all hand dryers have HEPA filtration? Not all. Dyson Airblade® models include HEPA by default, XLERATOR® has an optional HEPA kit, and World Dryer VERDEdri® includes HEPA as standard. Many more have HEPA installed by default or come with an option. Call us for a quote at 888-503-7837 and we can offer a few options.
Which dryers are ADA compliant? Slim dryers like ThinAir®, Slimdri®, VERDEdri®, and HU02 meet ADA protrusion limits. For a fully recessed option, XLERATOR® with a recess kit is recommended. Other options are available by Saniflow, ASI, Bobrick, Bradley and more. Just ask us for help!
Which dryers are best for young children? For preschools, quieter dryers such as Nova 1 are ideal. High-speed models can be too loud for smaller kids.
What if I need to replace an old dryer or towel dispenser? Slimdri® often covers the same footprint as the World Dryer Model A, while Excel XChanger® kits are designed to cover older dryers or paper towel dispensers.
Can hand dryers replace paper towels entirely? Yes. Many facilities eliminate towels completely. Some keep a small backup dispenser, but modern dryers are fast, hygienic, and efficient enough to stand alone. It depends on the facility and users. For example, restaurants should use both hand dryers and a paper towel dispenser, while rest areas can get away with just hand dryers.
