Bobrick BOB42 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Bobrick B-42 soap dispenser work in an ADA-compliant restroom?
The B-42 is listed as ADA compliant, and the push-button projects 3-3/16 inches (80mm) from the wall, so the reach depth stays shallow. Because it is surface mounted, the mounting height is entirely up to you, which is what usually decides whether the operable part lands within the accessible reach range in your facility.
2) How much wall space do I need for a Bobrick B-42 surface-mounted soap dispenser?
Plan for a unit 5-13/16 inches wide by 6-7/8 inches high (150 x 175mm), projecting 3-1/16 inches off the wall, with the push-button reaching 3-3/16 inches out. It mounts on the surface of the wall or on a mirror with concealed mounting, so no recess or wall cavity is needed.
3) How often will housekeeping have to refill the Bobrick B-42?
The translucent container holds 40 fl oz (1.2 L), and because it is translucent, staff can see the soap level from across the room instead of opening every unit on a round. Refilling is from the top: the vandal-resistant lid pivots up, so there is no cartridge to swap and no need to pull the unit off the wall.
4) Is the Bobrick B-42 lockable against tampering in a public restroom?
The lid is vandal-resistant and uses a keyless locking device, so there is no key for staff to lose or for a custodial crew to track across a building. The container itself is removable for cleaning.
5) What kind of soap can I put in the Bobrick B-42, and will it handle foam or gel?
The valve dispenses all-purpose liquid soaps. It is a manual liquid dispenser, not a foam or gritty hand-cleaner unit, so stick to general-purpose liquid hand soap.
6) Can the Bobrick B-42 be mounted on a mirror instead of the wall?
Yes. The B-42 uses concealed mounting rated for wall or mirror surfaces, which is the usual answer for lavatory decks where there is no free wall next to the sink.
7) Is the Bobrick B-42 metal or plastic, and what does it look like?
Body is ABS plastic in an all-black finish, with a translucent container so the soap level shows. If your spec calls for stainless steel washroom accessories, this is not that unit.
8) Does the Bobrick B-42 need power or batteries?
No. It is a manual push-button dispenser, so there is no sensor, no batteries, and no electrical rough-in at the lavatory.
