Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What wall support is required for installation?
Because this is a recessed, load-bearing unit, substantial structural backing or blocking behind the wall cavity is required. A framed rough opening must be created to support the unit. Do not install on drywall alone.

Q: Is this unit ADA compliant?
Yes, when properly installed per manufacturer guidelines. The KB311-SSRE-MBLK is designed to comply with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and the 2009/2017 ICC A117.1 Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities standard.

Q: What is the difference between the KB311-SSRE-MBLK and the KB311-SSWM-MBLK?
The KB311-SSRE-MBLK is the recessed model — it installs flush into the wall cavity for a built-in, low-profile look, requiring a vertical rough opening. The KB311-SSWM-MBLK is the surface-mounted version, which mounts directly to the wall surface, making it ideal for retrofit projects where wall cutting is not practical.

Q: What liners are recommended?
Koala Kare KB150-99 sanitary bed liners are recommended for proper fit and dispensing performance. Each cavity holds 25 liners (50 total).

Q: Does the liner dispenser lock?
Yes. The dual liner dispensers have a locking mechanism designed to minimize operator refills and discourage vandalism. As a bonus for maintenance staff, the tumbler lock is keyed alike to standard Bobrick washroom accessories.

Q: Is a standard Stainless Steel finish available?
Yes. The KB311-SSRE is available in a classic satin stainless steel finish for facilities that prefer a traditional aesthetic rather than the matte black.
