Bradley Paper Towel Dispensers

Bradley paper towel dispensers range from sensor-activated units to lever operated and push bar designs, in stainless steel and plastic housings. Recessed, semi-recessed, and surface-mounted versions exist for the 2A02 sensor-activated dispenser. The 2442 Contemporary Series covers the same mounting choices. For high capacity roll towels, the 2489 is a plastic electronic sensor dispenser. The 155 combines a mirror and a towel dispenser in recessed or surface-mounted form. Diplomat Series and Elvari designs are also listed. Facility managers sort through these by towel type, power needs, and the wall they have to work with.

Operation is the main choice. Roll towel dispensers meter one sheet at a time and sensor units are fully touch-free, while manual models need no batteries. Lever and push bar dispensers have operable parts, so ADA Section 309.4 applies. The standard limits activation to 5 pounds of force and bars designs that need a tight grasp, a pinch, or a wrist twist. Place the dispenser so its controls land inside the Section 308 reach ranges; the unobstructed range spans 15 to 48 in. from the floor. Most of these dispensers appear in Bradley's listings as ADA compliant.
