Installation Considerations for Commercial Spaces 

ADA & Accessibility 

If installing in public buildings (schools, offices, restaurants, gyms), confirm height placement meets local accessibility standards. 

High-Traffic Restrooms 

For medium-traffic environments: 

• Install multiple units if needed to reduce wait times. 

• Position dryers away from high congestion points. 

Water-Resistant Design 

Quilo Palmz™ hand dryers are built for bathroom environments and feature water-resistant construction but should not be installed in direct water spray zones.

• Adding new outlets 

• Installing multiple units 

• Modifying circuits 

• Required by local building code 

For large commercial renovations, professional installation is recommended.
