How To Select The Right Model & SafeGuard Your Electrical System?
Hand dryers are commonly available in three (3) voltage options, that is, 110-120V, 208-240V, and 277V. Choosing the right voltage option for your facility helps prevent future damage to both your hand dryer and the electrical system. For most customers in the United States, the 110V/120V is the most common voltage setting. Some industrial facilities (e.g., manufacturing plants) may use higher voltage options. If sure, below, we’ve highlighted our simple two (2) step process to help you make the right purchase and avoid future headaches.
Step 1: Know the voltage settings for your facility’s restrooms. There are a few ways to get this information. Contact the facility manager or electrical repair team. Oftentimes, they may have this information handy and can guide you appropriately. If this is not an option, we recommend hiring a professional electrician. For those with some electrical training or DIY chops, you can perform this step using a multimeter. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND DIY options if you’re not sure what to do. If you’re replacing an existing hand dryer and have the packaging materials handy, you may also obtain the voltage information from the packaging or product materials.
Step 2: Match the voltage to the product description on our website. All hand dryers listed on our website will display the voltage options either in the title or product page. For hand dryers with multiple voltage options, you select the option that matches the voltage requirements for your facility’s restrooms.
Hopefully, this was helpful in guiding you to the right purchase. Customer safety means a lot to us! And after all, you purchase a hand dryer to save money, not cost you more.
