ASI 0462-AD Combination Commercial Paper Towel Dispenser/Waste Receptacle, Recessed-Mounted, Stainless Steel

The ASI 0462-AD is a recessed combination paper towel dispenser and waste receptacle from American Specialties' Traditional collection — Type-304, 20-gauge stainless steel with a #4 satin finish, holding 350 C-fold or 475 multi-fold paper towels in the upper compartment and a 2-gallon waste receptacle in the lower. The fully recessed design projects only the flange from the wall, making it a fit for hand-drying stations next to lavatories where wall projection has to stay tight. It includes a tumbler lock keyed alike to other ASI washroom equipment and a double-pan door with a full-length 3/16-inch-diameter stainless steel multi-staked piano hinge. As an Authorized Stocking Distributor with our Low Price Guarantee, Total Restroom offers the ASI 0462-AD from a U.S. distribution network.

Key Features

Two Functions in One Recessed Unit
The 0462-AD pairs a paper towel dispenser (350 C-fold or 475 multi-fold) with a 2-gallon waste receptacle — one wall position handles both functions, replacing two separate units. That's particularly useful next to a lavatory where wall space between mirrors and other accessories is limited.

Fully Recessed for Minimum Wall Projection
Unlike the semi-recessed 0462-AD-2 (which projects 2" from the wall on a stainless steel collar), the 0462-AD is fully recessed — only the flange shows on the finished wall. That keeps wall projection minimal in narrow corridors, in spaces where bag and elbow clearance matters, and in installations where the visual goal is a flush finish.

Type-304 Welded Stainless Construction
Door and cabinet are Type-304, 20-gauge stainless steel alloy 18-8 with welded structural construction. All exposed surfaces have a #4 satin finish that coordinates with stainless washroom accessories. PVC protective film protects exposed surfaces during shipment and installation. The door is double-pan construction with fiberboard filler — designed for added rigidity and strength.

Heavy-Duty Piano Hinge and Tumbler Lock
The door is attached at the side with a full-length 3/16"-diameter stainless steel multi-staked piano hinge — built for the cycle counts of commercial restrooms. The tumbler lock is keyed alike to other ASI washroom equipment, so the same ASI key type may work across an ASI-equipped washroom for streamlined service.

Hemmed Towel Slot and Finger-Hole Waste Receptacle
The towel dispensing slot has a fully deburred edge for snag-free dispensing and user safety. The waste receptacle has hemmed edges and a rolled-edge finger-hole for ease of removal during service. Custodial staff can lift out the receptacle without catching gloves on raw stainless edges.

Installation Guidance

The 0462-AD requires a recessed wall opening of 12-3/4" W × 26-1/2" H × 4" minimum recessed depth (324 × 673 × 102 mm). Coordinate the install with the mechanical engineer to keep pipes, vents, and conduits in the wall clear of the recessed cabinet. For plaster or drywall construction, provide concealed backing per local building codes before securing the unit.

For 2010 ADA Accessibility Standards compliance, install the unit so the centerline of the towel dispenser slot is 48" (1219 mm) maximum above finished floor. If the project's wall conditions don't allow a fully recessed install, ASI offers the same unit in a semi-recessed configuration as the 0462-AD-2 — a 2" recess with a 2" projection collar.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many paper towels does the ASI 0462-AD hold?
350 standard C-fold or 475 standard multi-fold paper towels in the upper compartment. The dispenser accepts both fold types.

How big is the waste receptacle?
2 gallons (7.6 L). The receptacle has hemmed edges and a rolled-edge finger-hole, so custodial staff can lift it out for emptying without catching gloves on raw stainless edges.

What's the rough wall opening for the 0462-AD?
12-3/4" W × 26-1/2" H × 4" D minimum recessed depth (324 × 673 × 102 mm). Coordinate with the mechanical engineer so pipes, vents, and conduits don't intrude on the recessed cabinet.

What's the difference between the 0462-AD and the 0462-AD-2?
Same unit in two mounting configurations. The 0462-AD is fully recessed — only the flange shows on the finished wall. The 0462-AD-2 is semi-recessed — it has a 2" recessed depth with a 2" projection collar, used when full recessing isn't possible due to wall depth or framing constraints. Capacity, materials, and door hardware are identical.

Is the ASI 0462-AD ADA-compliant when installed?
ASI's spec calls for installing the unit so the centerline of the towel dispenser slot is 48" (1219 mm) maximum above finished floor for compliance with the 2010 ADA Accessibility Standards. Final accessibility compliance also depends on clear floor space and approach reach at the installed location.

What material is the 0462-AD?
Door and cabinet are Type-304, 20-gauge stainless steel alloy 18-8 with welded structural construction. All exposed surfaces have a #4 satin finish. The door is double-pan construction with fiberboard filler — designed for added rigidity and strength. The hinge is a full-length 3/16"-diameter stainless steel multi-staked piano hinge.

Is the dispenser lockable?
Yes. The door is held closed with a tumbler lock keyed alike to other ASI washroom equipment, so the same ASI key type may work across a facility's ASI dispensers, soap dispensers, and other compatible washroom accessories.

What's the warranty?
ASI provides a 1-year warranty from the date of invoice on the 0462-AD.
