FAQ

Q: Which hand dryer models is the 17-10160K compatible with?

A: The 17-10160K retrofit kit is designed to cover the recessed box opening from any World Dryer Model A or Model M (Airmax) hand dryer, and provides the mounting point for the World Dryer SLIMdri® L-Series hand dryer. It is also compatible with the VERDEdri® hand dryer series. Note: the hand dryer itself is sold separately.

Q: Does the 17-10160K include the SLIMdri® hand dryer?

A: No — the 17-10160K includes only the stainless steel cover plate and securing bracket. The SLIMdri® L-Series hand dryer must be purchased separately.

Q: What wall depth is required for installation?

A: The SLIMdri® hand dryer installed with the 17-10160K protrudes only 3.9 inches from the wall surface, which exceeds ADA requirements for the 4-inch protrusion rule — making it a fully compliant surface-mount solution without requiring any wall recessing.
