Construction
Lavatory mounted soap dispenser with under the counter soap reservoir is fabricated of type 304 stainless steel on its piston, cover, and 6" spout. The escutcheon is chrome plated, high impact resistant ABS with a bright polish finish. Body and shank are high impact resistant plastic. The valve is comprised of an ABS cylinder, stainless steel spring, u packing seal, and duck bill corrosion resistant to most soaps and detergents. It is equipped with a 36" long supply tube to be cut in the field. Also included is the black molded ABS coupling tee that fits standard 3" ABS or PVC pipe, schedule 40, with 3-1/2" outside diameter; a clear smoke grey translucent ABS elbow that is 10" long to be cut in the field with a drain hole at the bottom of the elbow that has a removable threaded plug with o ring; and a 1-1/4" diameter black flexible silicone hose that is 33" long to be cut in the field. Capacity: 0.9 Gal (3.3 L).
Designer's Notes: Mounting screws, pipe connections, and end-caps are not furnished. Provide 1/4" (6mm) screws, washers, and lock-washers.
Purchase pipe connections and end-caps locally from plumbing supply wholesaler. Pipe connection must be standard 3" ABS or PVC pipe,
schedule 40, with outside diameter (88–90mm nominal pipe sizes). Black ABS end-caps for 3" standard U.S./Canadian pipe with 3 -1/2" outside
diameter are available from Bobrick as an optional accessory; order Bobrick Part No. 922-45 (set of 2 end-caps).
Installation
Soap dispenser is designed for installation in 1±1
/16" (25±1.6mm) diameter hole in porcelain enameled steel, stainless steel, cast iron or
vitreous china lavatories, as well as in counter tops adjacent to lavatories or in unused faucet holes. Shank accommodates maximum 4" mounting thickness and can be cut-to-fit in the field.
Notes:
1. Variations in design and construction of installations, such as location of plumbing, will affect the exact location of different elements
of the soap reservoir system. But the system is designed for great adaptability by allowing on-site measuring and cutting of the black
flexible hoses, clear elbows, and pipe connections as required; for example, the black flexible hoses and supply tubes can compensate
for any offset alignment.
2. Allow horizontal clearance along mounting surface below countertop 5-1/2" high x 5-1/4" deep (140 x 135mm) to accommodate
coupling tees and pipe connections of the reservoir system. Clearance required for each clear elbow is 3-1/2" (90mm) diameter
x 6-7/8" to 12-3/4" (175–325mm) deep.
CAUTION: The following instructions are a general guide only. Detailed instructions for installation and maintenance are packed with each
shipment and are also in the "A Note from the Manufacturer" tab located under the product image above.
For plaster or dry wall on studs, provide concealed backing and 1/4" (6mm) mounting screws to secure system to wall. Backing must
comply with local building codes. For brick, concrete or solid tile walls, provide fiber plugs or expansion shields for use with 1/4" (6mm)
mounting screws. Mount one coupling tee and clear elbow for each soap dispenser. The center line of coupling tee should be within 6" (150mm)
of soap dispenser center line. Use one coupling tee as template to mark the mounting hole locations for screws. Provide ABS/PVC or other
multipurpose primer and pipe cement to connect all coupling tees, pipe connections, and end caps to create a continuous line of piping. Mount
the piping plumb and level to insure consistent soap depth throughout reservoir system. Thread plugs and o rings into drain holes on underside
of clear elbows. Reduce the length of each clear elbow as required. Glue each clear elbow to appropriate coupling tee so small opening on top is
pointing up toward soap dispenser. Place either end of black flexible hose onto small opening. Take remaining length of hose and hold it up to
shank of appropriate soap dispenser to determine where to cut hose. It is suggested that the hose overlap the shank 2" (50mm) minimum. Glue
bottom end of each hose to small opening of clear elbow. Slide the top end of black flexible hose up over the threaded shank of soap dispenser.
Do not seal top end of hose — it must be left unsealed to allow for venting of soap reservoir. Cut at an angle each soap dispenser's supply tube so
the end reaches bottom of clear elbow. Insert supply tube through black flexible hose, making sure angled end reaches bottom of clear elbow.
After all pipe cement has set, run water through soap reservoir to test for leaks. Drain reservoir by removing pipe plugs from clear elbows.
Operation
Soap is manually dispensed by pushing down on the piston. Spout can rotate 360 degrees without damage to the unit. The escutcheon locks to the body with a concealed locking mechanism that is opened with special key provided. Specify one unit for each lavatory. Each unit provides 0.9 gal soap capacity, plus capacity of pipe connections. Install one complete soap reservoir system under each counter.
Manufacturer's Note: Bobrick liquid soap dispensers are designed to dispense commercially marketed all purpose hand soaps including liquid and lotion soaps and synthetic detergents.
Warranty
One (1) Year Manufacturer's Warranty - Warranted to be free of defects in material or workmanship for one (1) year from date of sale.
