Bobrick B-529 Countertop-Mounted Circular Waste Chute

No. The B-529 is the chute and flange only. It gives waste deposit access to a receptacle placed under the counter, and that receptacle is not furnished. Order the under-counter container separately and size it so its opening sits under the 5-1/2 inch (140mm) inside diameter of the chute.

Chute depth is 5 inches (130mm) below the counter surface. That is the clearance you need between the underside of the top and whatever is below it, and it also sets how tall your under-counter can may be before it fouls the chute body. Check it against apron rails, sink bowls, and any drawer box in that bay.

No. The B-529 is a counter-mounted unit. The rolled flange bears on the top surface of the counter and the chute drops straight down into the cabinet below, so it only works in a horizontal top. If you need waste disposal through a vertical surface, you are looking at a wall-mounted or recessed receptacle instead, not this chute.

Open top, no flap and no cover. Anything dropped in falls straight through the 5-1/2 inch (140mm) throat to the can below. That is what you want in a high-traffic restroom or a hand-drying station where paper towels go in without touching anything, and it is why the chute has no moving parts to service. If your facility needs a closed or self-closing top for odor or fire concerns, this is the wrong unit.

The clear throat is 5-1/2 inches (140mm) across. A folded or crumpled multifold or C-fold towel drops through without a problem, which is the usual duty for a countertop chute next to a lavatory run. Bulky waste, cups, and bottles are a different story at that diameter, so if the location collects general trash rather than towels, plan on an open-top receptacle beside the counter as well.

It does, because every opening gets the same 5-5/8 inch (140mm) cut and the same 5 inch (130mm) drop below the top. One cutout template covers the whole job, and the stainless flange finishes to the same appearance at each station. The variable is the under-counter receptacle, which is not supplied with the chute, so pick one can and repeat it so millwork clearance stays consistent from room to room.

Stainless steel throughout the exposed surfaces and the rolled flange. Two finish descriptions appear for the part: the exposed surfaces and flange are described as bright-polished stainless steel, and the finish attribute is satin stainless. It ships as a single finish option, satin, so there is no finish to select at order time.
