Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What wall support is required for installation?
Substantial structural backing or blocking behind the wall is required. The unit must be secured into wall studs or structural blocking. Do not install on drywall alone.

Q: Is this unit ADA compliant?
Yes, when properly installed per manufacturer guidelines. The KB311-SSWM-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-SSWM-MBLK and the KB311-SSRE-MBLK?
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. The KB311-SSRE-MBLK is the recessed model — it installs flush into the wall cavity for a built-in, low-profile look, requiring a framed rough opening.

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-SSWM is available in a classic satin stainless steel finish for facilities that prefer a traditional aesthetic rather than the matte black.
