Bobrick 40 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Bobrick B-40 soap dispenser mount on a wall or can it go on a mirror?
Both. The B-40 is a surface-mounted unit with concealed wall or mirror mounting, and the dispenser body is removable from its mounting for cleaning. Projection from the wall to the push-button is 3-3/8 inches (85mm), and the catalogued product depth is 3-3/16 inches, so allow room over a lavatory deck or counter backsplash.
2) Is the Bobrick B-40 ADA compliant for a public restroom?
The B-40 is listed as ADA compliant. It's a manual push-button dispenser, so mounting height and clear floor approach at the lavatory are still on the installer to get right for the opening.
3) How much soap does the B-40 hold, and can staff top it off without taking it off the wall?
Capacity is 40 fluid ounces (1.2 L), and it fills from the top. The vandal-resistant lid pivots up for filling and has a keyless locking device, so housekeeping doesn't need to carry a key or dismount the unit. The container is translucent, so you can see the soap level without opening it.
4) Will the Bobrick B-40 dispense foam soap or hand sanitizer gel?
No. The B-40 valve is for all-purpose liquid soaps, and the dispenser is configured for liquid rather than foam or gel. If the facility has standardized on foam soap, this is the wrong dispenser for that program.
5) What is the Bobrick B-40 dispenser made of, and will the black/grey finish match other washroom accessories?
It's a two-tone black and grey plastic unit, with polyethylene noted as the material and a translucent soap container. It won't match a stainless or chrome accessory set, so if the rest of the washroom is satin stainless, expect a visible difference in finish.
6) How much wall space do I need to lay out for a Bobrick B-40?
The unit measures 5-13/16 inches wide by 6-7/8 inches high (150 x 175mm), and it stands 3-3/8 inches off the wall to the push-button. Lay out on those numbers when you're spacing multiple dispensers over a run of lavatories or fitting one between a mirror and a grab bar.
7) Is a surface-mounted soap dispenser like the B-40 better than a recessed or counter-mounted one?
Surface mounting is the retrofit answer: it fastens to the finished wall or mirror with concealed hardware, so there's no wall cavity to open up and no counter to drill. Recessed units need a wall chase and blocking, and deck-mounted units need a hole in the lavatory top. For an existing restroom where you're replacing a dispenser or adding one, the surface-mounted B-40 is the low-disruption choice.
8) Is the B-40 a good choice for high-traffic or vandal-prone restrooms?
The lid is vandal resistant and locks without a key, which addresses the most common abuse point, soap theft and refill tampering. The body is plastic rather than metal, so in a heavily abused facility (schools, transit, correctional-adjacent) a stainless dispenser will take impact better.
