Bobrick 273-103 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which Bobrick toilet tissue dispensers does the B-273-103 spindle fit?
The B-273-103 replacement spindle fits Bobrick toilet tissue dispenser models B-273, B-2730, B-274, B-2740, B-27460, B-3746, and B-27466. If you are stocking spares for a building, one part number covers all of those dispensers, so you don't need a separate spindle for each model on the floor plan.
2) Why does the Bobrick B-273-103 say "after December 1973" and does that matter for my dispenser?
Bobrick changed the spindle on these tissue dispensers, and the B-273-103 is the version for units built after December 1973. Date of manufacture is the deciding factor, not the model number on the face, so on an older washroom retrofit check the dispenser vintage before ordering. Anything installed in the last few decades takes this spindle.
3) Do I have to replace the whole Bobrick tissue dispenser if the spindle is broken?
No. The B-273-103 is a field replaceable spindle, so a cracked or missing spindle on a B-273, B-274, B-2740, B-27460, B-3746 or B-27466 dispenser is a parts swap, not a new unit and new wall anchors. For property managers with a lot of identical washrooms this is the cheap fix that keeps the existing dispenser and its mounting in place.
4) What size toilet paper roll does the Bobrick B-273-103 spindle hold?
One roll up to 6 inches (150mm) in diameter, roughly 2000 sheets. That is the standard jumbo-ish single roll size for Bobrick's B-273 family dispensers, so if your janitorial supply is buying 6 inch rolls the spindle carries them without binding.
5) Is the Bobrick B-273-103 theft resistant for a public restroom?
Yes. The high impact plastic spindles have a concealed locking device and are theft resistant, which is the reason these get specified in schools, transit, and other high traffic public washrooms where loose spindles walk off. The cast aluminum construction is heavy duty with a satin finish.
6) What finish is the Bobrick B-273-103 spindle and will it match my existing dispensers?
Satin finish cast aluminum, which is what Bobrick ships on the B-273 series dispensers themselves, so a replacement spindle reads the same as the surrounding hardware in a washroom fit-out. There is one configuration, model 273-103, so there is no finish or size choice to make when ordering.
