Bobrick 7179 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Bobrick B-7179 plug-in or does it need to be hardwired by an electrician?
Hardwired. The B-7179 has no cord or plug, so a licensed electrician needs to bring a branch circuit to the mounting location. It accepts 110 to 240 volts at 50/60 Hz and draws 0.8 to 1.9 amps depending on supply voltage, so it runs on standard North American 120V as well as 208/240V service.
2) How much wall space do I need to lay out for the Bobrick B-7179?
The B-7179 cover measures 11-11/16 inches (297mm) wide by 13-7/16 inches (342mm) high, projecting 3-15/16 inches (100mm). Surface mounted, so no wall cavity or recess kit is needed, but you do need blocking or suitable anchors in that footprint and the electrical rough-in landing behind it.
3) Does the B-7179 come in anything other than stainless?
Two finishes: satin finish stainless steel and matte black. Both are the same dryer underneath, Type 304 stainless at 18 gauge (1.2mm). Satin stainless is the one that matches most existing Bobrick washroom accessory lines; matte black is the choice when the specification calls for dark hardware throughout.
4) Will people have to touch the Bobrick B-7179 to start it?
No. It runs on an infrared no-touch sensor, so the unit starts when hands are presented and stops when they are withdrawn. Dry time is 10 to 12 seconds. For healthcare, food service, and high-traffic public washrooms, that removes the hand contact point entirely.
5) Is the Bobrick B-7179 durable enough for a high-traffic or vandal-prone restroom?
The cover is seam welded Type 304 stainless steel at 18 gauge (1.2mm), which is a heavier, harder cover than the molded plastic housings common on low-cost dryers. Seam welding means no exposed fasteners along the cover joints for someone to pick at. Stainless also takes the standard washroom cleaners used in schools, stadiums, and transit facilities.
6) Is the Bobrick B-7179 electrically listed for commercial installation?
The B-7179 is cULus-listed and CE-marked, which covers it for both North American and European installation. Inspectors on commercial and institutional jobs will generally be looking for that cULus listing on any hardwired washroom appliance.
7) Can the B-7179 hand dryer be used on a LEED or green building project?
It is GreenSpec certified and draws a nominal 0.2 kW, against the 1.5 to 2 kW a conventional warm-air dryer uses. Moving from paper towels to a dryer at this draw is the usual route to waste-reduction and energy credits, though credit documentation is always project specific.
8) How fast does the Bobrick B-7179 dry hands compared with an older warm-air dryer?
10 to 12 seconds, driven by air at 50 m/s rather than by heat, which is how it gets that time at only 200 watts. Older resistive warm-air dryers typically run 30 seconds or more. For a busy washroom, shorter cycles mean fewer units needed to serve the same queue.
