Bobrick B-8397 Surface Mounted Facial Tissue Dispenser

The B-8397 holds one standard box of 100 two-ply facial tissues. It is a single-box dispenser, so for restrooms that run through tissue quickly you'll want to plan on more frequent refills rather than expecting a bulk-capacity unit.

No. The B-8397 is a surface mounted unit, so it fastens to the finished wall face with no wall cavity or rough-in required. That makes it workable on tile, block, or solid partitions where cutting a recess isn't an option. If you need a flush look in a new build, a recessed tissue cabinet is the alternative.

Yes. The dispenser has a concealed locking device, so the cover can't be popped open by a user and the box inside stays protected. That is the feature that separates it from an open tissue box holder in high-traffic public or institutional washrooms.

It's built from stainless steel with a satin finish, which is the standard specification for commercial and institutional washroom accessories because it resists corrosion and hides scratches and fingerprints better than a bright polished surface. Satin stainless is also the finish most other Bobrick washroom accessories are supplied in, so it will match existing soap dispensers, grab bars, and paper holders on the same wall.

It dispenses facial tissue, not bath tissue. The unit takes one flat box of 100 two-ply facial tissues and is used at the lavatory counter or in patient and guest rooms. For toilet paper you need a separate roll holder.

Satin stainless is the only finish offered for the B-8397. If a specification calls for a different appearance, you would need to look at a different Bobrick series rather than an alternate finish of this model.
