Bradley Napkin & Tampon Vendors

Bradley napkin and tampon vendors are stainless steel cabinets with a choice of free operation or a coin mechanism. The 4A20 is the broadest family, listed surface mounted and recessed with free, 10-cent, 25-cent, and 50-cent options, among others. The 4017 adds semi-recessed cabinets alongside recessed and surface-mounted models. The 407 is listed surface mounted and recessed, and the 401 comes in free, 10-cent, and 25-cent operation. School districts, employers, and public venue operators each weigh free-vend against coin operation when they pick a model.

Settle the operation before the mounting. Free-vend is the standard for schools, employers, and healthcare, and coin operation still makes sense in some public venues. California, Illinois, and New York require free menstrual products in public school restrooms; check the state and district policy elsewhere. A recessed or semi-recessed cabinet requires framing, while a surface-mounted one does not. After installation, ADA Section 309.4 calls for operable parts usable with one hand, with no tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist. The activating force can be 5 pounds at most, and Section 309.3 keeps those parts within the Section 308 reach ranges.
