Why Choose the Bobrick B-526

The Bobrick B-526 is a countertop-mounted paper towel dispenser built from 18-8, type-304, 22-gauge satin stainless steel with all-welded construction. The flange includes a 1/4" 90° return for added rigidity at the countertop opening, while the recessed dispenser body keeps the towel stack positioned below the deck for a clean, low-profile installation.

It holds 300 C-fold or multifold towels in a single stack and accepts both fold types with no adjustment, no adapter, and no swap-out parts — facility teams can buy whichever fold their distributor stocks. The patented push-through top-loading design refills from above through two hinged retainers, so staff don't need to access the cabinet below to service it.

The B-526 belongs to Bobrick's TrimLineSeries™ — a slim, low-profile aesthetic often specified where surface-mounted dispensers would visually crowd the vanity. Mounting tabs adjust for countertop thicknesses from 3/4" to 1-1/2", which covers most stone, solid surface, and laminate decks specified in commercial restrooms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the rough countertop cutout for the Bobrick B-526?

The Bobrick B-526 requires a rough countertop cutout of 12-1/4" wide by 4-1/2" high (310 x 115mm). The cutout can be ordered pre-cut from the countertop manufacturer or field cut on site. Mounting tabs adjust to fit countertop thicknesses from 3/4" to 1-1/2" (19 to 38mm).

How many paper towels does the B-526 hold?

The Bobrick B-526 holds 300 C-fold or multifold paper towels. The dispenser accepts both fold types in the same unit without any adjustment, adapter, or parts change. A spring-loaded towel tray keeps the stack presented at the dispense opening as towels are pulled.

How much clearance does the B-526 need below the countertop?

The Bobrick B-526 requires a minimum of 17" (430mm) clearance below the mounting surface. This clearance allows the spring-loaded towel tray to fully extend when the dispenser is loaded to capacity. Verify the cabinet or vanity interior depth before specifying.

Is the Bobrick B-526 ADA compliant?

The Bobrick B-526 is recommended for installation at 34" (865mm) above the finished floor for universal and accessible design, per the manufacturer's technical data sheet. Final ADA compliance depends on the operable parts location relative to forward or side reach, which varies by countertop layout. Confirm with the project architect.

Does the B-526 include a housing for under the counter?

The Bobrick B-526 does not include a housing or enclosure to conceal the dispenser body below the countertop. If the underside of the vanity is exposed to view, a housing must be furnished separately by the millworker, casework supplier, or general contractor.

What material is the Bobrick B-526 made from?

The Bobrick B-526 is built from 18-8, type-304, 22-gauge (0.8mm) satin finish stainless steel with all-welded construction. The flange has a 1/4" (6mm) 90° return for rigidity at the countertop edge. Both the flange and the dispenser body share the same material specification.

How is the Bobrick B-526 reloaded with towels?

The Bobrick B-526 is reloaded from the top using a patented push-through design. Staff push fresh towels downward into the dispenser through the two hinged towel retainers, with no need to open or access the cabinet below the countertop. This speeds up servicing in high-traffic restrooms.

Can the B-526 be mounted vertically instead of in a countertop?

The Bobrick B-526 can be mounted in vertical surfaces of countertops, including aprons, skirts, or the front of cabinets, in addition to standard horizontal countertop installation. Cutout dimensions and minimum clearance requirements remain the same regardless of orientation. Refer to Bobrick installation form 526-69 for specifics.
