Bobrick 72974 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size paper towel rolls fit the Bobrick B-72974 dispenser?
The B-72974 takes standard core roll towel up to 8 inches wide and 8 inches in diameter. It is a roll towel unit only, so folded, multifold or C-fold paper will not work in it. If your building is standardized on 8 inch wide roll stock you can keep buying the same paper.
2) Does the B-72974 need to be hardwired, or does it run on batteries?
Either. The dispenser operates on four D-size alkaline batteries or a 6-volt DC power supply. Batteries are not included, and neither is the power supply, so add whichever you plan to use to the order. Battery operation is what makes it practical in existing restrooms where there is no outlet or junction box near the towel location.
3) I have beige Bobrick dispensers on my other restrooms. Will a new B-72974 match?
Not indefinitely. Bobrick is transitioning the B-72974 from beige to a black housing, keeping the same dark translucent cover, and beige will no longer be offered once that change is complete. If you are matching an existing beige fleet, expect the new units to be black and plan the changeover by restroom rather than mixing colors on the same wall.
4) Is the Bobrick B-72974 a touchless dispenser?
Yes, it is an automatic, sensor-activated roll towel dispenser rather than a lever or pull type. Hands-free dispensing is the usual reason facilities specify it in healthcare, food service and high-traffic public restrooms.
5) Can the paper towel cabinet be locked against tampering or theft?
The cabinet locks, which is the reason it gets specified for public and unattended restrooms. Staff unlock it to reload the roll and to change the D batteries.
6) Is the Bobrick B-72974 stainless steel or plastic?
Plastic, not metal. The body is a high-impact resin with a dark translucent cover that lets staff see the remaining roll without unlocking the cabinet. If you need a vandal-resistant metal cabinet for a correctional or heavy-abuse restroom, this is not the unit to spec.
7) Can the B-72974 be recessed into the wall instead of surface mounted?
No. It is a surface mounted cabinet only, fastened to the finished wall face, with no recessed kit. For a semi-recessed or recessed towel cabinet you need a different Bobrick model with a rough-wall opening specified. Where wall cavity depth or partition type rules out cutting in, surface mounting like this is the way to go.
8) How do I confirm I am ordering the right Bobrick automatic towel dispenser?
Order by the Bobrick model number B-72974, the universal surface-mounted automatic roll towel dispenser in plastic. It ships as a single configuration, so there are no finish or handing options to specify.
