Bobrick 540 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Bobrick B-540 hold jumbo toilet paper rolls, or only standard rolls?
Standard-core rolls only, up to 4-1/2 inch (110mm) diameter, which is the 500-sheet size. The dispenser bar holds two of them. If your building runs jumbo-roll or coreless tissue, the B-540 is the wrong dispenser for that program.
2) How far does the Bobrick B-540 tissue dispenser and shelf stick out from the wall?
Projection is 3-3/4 inches off the wall face. That matters in a narrow stall or beside a water closet where clearance to the fixture is tight, since the unit is surface mounted and the full depth sits proud of the finished wall.
3) Can the B-540 be installed on an existing tiled or block restroom wall without cutting in a recess?
Yes. It is a surface-mounted unit, so no wall cavity or recess is needed. The wall plate has two screw holes for attachment, and the post and wall plate are welded as one piece. On tile, block, or concrete you supply anchors suited to the substrate; the two-hole plate is what you are laying out.
4) Does the B-540 have a cover or lock, or are the rolls exposed?
The rolls are exposed. The B-540 is an open dispenser on a bar, with no hood, cover, or lock. In a facility where tissue theft is a problem, or where a controlled-delivery program is in place, you want an enclosed or locking dispenser instead. Where restocking speed and simple maintenance matter more, the open bar wins because anyone can reload it in seconds.
5) Is the Bobrick B-540 durable enough for a high-traffic public or school restroom?
It is built from Type-304 stainless steel in 14 gauge, which is heavy for a washroom accessory, and the post is welded to the wall plate as a single piece rather than bolted together. The dispenser bar is 3/8 inch diameter set into a 3/4 inch diameter post with a concealed set screw, so there is no exposed fastener to back out or pick at. That construction is what makes it a common choice for schools, transit, and other abuse-prone restrooms.
6) Do I still need a separate toilet paper holder if I install the Bobrick B-540 shelf?
No. The B-540 combines both: a two-roll tissue dispenser and a utility shelf in one surface-mounted unit. The shelf gives a place for a phone, keys, or a purse, and it has a 1/4 inch (6mm) upward return on the front edge to keep items from sliding off. One unit, one set of anchors, one item to spec.
7) What keeps the rolls from being pulled off the bar on the B-540?
A retaining pin, 1/4 inch (6.4mm) diameter, pressed into the dispenser bar. That is the detail that separates it from a plain open bar in a public restroom, where whole rolls otherwise walk off. The bar itself is held into the post by a concealed set screw, so the bar is not coming out either without a hex key.
8) What finishes does the Bobrick B-540 come in?
Two: satin stainless steel and matte black. The satin stainless is the standard 14 gauge Type-304 stainless body, which is what most institutional restrooms standardize on; matte black is the option when the spec calls for dark accessories to match faucets and grab bars.
9) Can I standardize the B-540 across a whole building of restrooms?
It suits fleet standardization well: one surface-mounted footprint with a two-hole wall plate, the same 3-3/4 inch projection at every opening, and satin stainless that matches the rest of a typical Bobrick stainless accessory package. Pick one finish, satin stainless or matte black, and the layout dimension and anchor pattern repeat at every stall.
10) Will the Bobrick B-540 rust in a humid or frequently washed-down restroom?
The body is Type-304 stainless steel, the grade used throughout commercial washroom accessories for exactly this reason. It stands up to constant humidity and routine wet cleaning. Avoid abrasive pads and chlorinated cleaners on the satin finish, which will dull it and can pit stainless over time.
