Excel Dryer 608161A Electric Hand Dryer 1450W Graphite

Product Description

The EXCEL DRYER 608161A is a 1450-watt electric hand dryer designed for high-traffic commercial and institutional restroom installations. Operating at 110/120 volts and drawing up to 12.2 amps, it delivers a dry time of approximately 8 seconds. The unit ships in a graphite finish and includes a noise reduction nozzle for quieter operation. Adjustable speed and sound controls allow facility managers and installing contractors to tune performance to the specific environment. The 608161A meets ADA requirements and carries UL and cULus listings, making it suitable for code-compliant installations in both new construction and retrofit projects.

The 608161A is suited for commercial restrooms in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, restaurants, and public venues where high-volume hand drying is required. Its ADA-compliant form factor supports accessible restroom design. The wall-mount profile keeps the unit out of the floor clearance zone, and the graphite finish coordinates with contemporary fixture packages. Licensed electricians and general contractors typically handle rough-in and final connection on commercial hand dryer installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Verify that the branch circuit is de-energized and locked out before making any wiring connections. Confirm the circuit is rated to support a 12.2-amp continuous load, accounting for the NEC 80-percent continuous-load derating rule. Mount the unit at the ADA-required height and secure it to solid blocking or a structural backing in the wall.
