Bobrick 8236 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Bobrick B-8236 soap dispenser mount on the counter or on the wall?
The B-8236 is a counter-mounted (deck mount) dispenser. It drops through a hole in the lavatory deck or countertop, with the ABS shank and container hanging below and the polished spout, cover and escutcheon above. If your washroom needs a wall-hung unit, this is not the right body style.
2) Can I use regular liquid hand soap in the Bobrick B-8236?
No. The B-8236 is a foaming dispenser and its pump is built to take foam soap only. Filling it with standard lotion or liquid soap will not foam correctly and risks clogging the pump. Buy a liquid-soap dispenser if that is what your janitorial contract supplies.
3) Do you have to get under the sink to refill the Bobrick B-8236?
No, and that is the main reason facilities pick it. The B-8236 is top-fill with an integrated funnel, so the housekeeper unlocks the cover and pours soap in from above the counter instead of crawling into the vanity cabinet to swap a bottle. For a high-traffic restroom on a fixed cleaning route, that is a real labor saving.
4) What spout lengths does the Bobrick B-8236 come in, and which one do I need?
Two spout lengths, 4 inch and 6 inch. Measure from the mounting hole to where you want soap landing in the bowl: on a deep or wide-ledge lavatory, or where the hole sits well back from the basin, the 6 inch spout keeps soap off the deck. On a shallow or compact lav, the 4 inch keeps the spout from overhanging into the bowl.
5) How much clearance do I need under the lavatory for the Bobrick B-8236?
Plan on the full 19-5/8 inch overall height of the unit, with the tank hanging below the deck once the spout and escutcheon sit on top. Check that against your P-trap, supply stops and any ADA knee-clearance panel before you cut in, especially on a shallow vanity or a wall-hung lav with a trap cover.
6) How much soap does the Bobrick B-8236 hold between refills?
The polyethylene container holds 34 fluid ounces (1.0 liter). The container is shatter resistant, so a dropped or knocked reservoir during refill is not going to leave glass in the cabinet.
7) Is the Bobrick B-8236 dispenser vandal resistant enough for a public restroom?
It is built for public washroom duty: the cover and spout lock to resist tampering and soap theft, the body and shank are high-impact ABS, and the container is shatter resistant. Exposed metal is corrosion resistant, which matters in a constantly wet deck environment.
8) Does the Bobrick B-8236 need power or batteries?
No. It is a manual push-pump dispenser, so there is no transformer, no battery pack, and nothing to service under the counter when power drops. That also means no sensor to false-trigger over a busy sink.
9) What finish is the Bobrick B-8236 soap dispenser, and will it match my faucets?
Bright polished chrome on the spout, cover and escutcheon. That is the standard commercial lavatory finish, so it lines up with polished chrome faucets and trim on the rest of the fixture run. If you are standardizing a building on brushed or satin trim, the polished chrome will read differently at the deck.
