Bobrick 273 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Bobrick B-273 hold a 6 inch jumbo-ish standard roll, or only small rolls?
The B-273 takes one standard roll up to 6 inches (150mm) in diameter, roughly a 2000-sheet roll. Anything larger than 6 inches will not seat on the spindle, and it is a single-roll unit only, so there is no reserve roll behind it. High-traffic restrooms that run out between service rounds are usually better served by a twin-roll or jumbo-roll dispenser.
2) How does the Bobrick B-273 mount, and does it need a recess in the wall?
Surface mounted, no wall recess or in-wall cavity needed. It sits on the finished wall face and projects 4-7/8 inches (125mm) out from it, so check that projection against grab bar clearance and the side of the fixture before you set the location.
3) What is "controlled delivery" on a toilet tissue dispenser, and why would a property manager want it?
Controlled delivery means the spindle resists free-spinning, so paper feeds out a bit at a time instead of unspooling in one pull. In schools, parks, transit and other abuse-prone restrooms that is what cuts waste and floor-dumping. The B-273 pairs it with a concealed locking device and plastic spindles, so the roll cannot be lifted off without opening the unit.
4) Is the Bobrick B-273 tough enough for a vandal-prone public restroom?
The body is heavy-duty cast aluminum with a satin finish, not stamped sheet metal or plastic, and it is described as theft-resistant with a concealed locking device. That combination is what gets specified for public and institutional restrooms rather than plastic dispensers that crack when they get kicked.
5) Can I use the B-273 with coreless or jumbo tissue?
No. The B-273 is built for a standard cored roll on a plastic spindle, up to 6 inches diameter. Coreless tissue needs a dispenser with a coreless chuck, and jumbo roll tissue exceeds the 6 inch capacity, so neither will work here.
6) Does the Bobrick B-273 come in other finishes besides satin?
Satin is the only finish offered on the B-273, a satin finish over cast aluminum. If you are standardizing a restroom package around satin stainless accessories, it reads consistently with them.
