Model 155-GXT8 - Surface Mounted ABS Plastic, Automatic Hand Dryer

Why buy American Dryer?

The American Dryer GXT8 automatic hand dryer was designed to offer you quality performance at a reasonable price. This high-performance hand dryer dries hands 2-3 times faster than conventional hand dryers and uses approximately 80% less electricity, while saving 95% versus paper towels. The patent-pending design of this energy-efficient hand dryer is guaranteed to offer years of trouble and maintenance free operation.

The heavy-duty white finish cover is constructed of flame retardant ABS polymer that is easy to clean and maintain. A powerful 5/8 HP motor has an automatic resetting thermal protector and commutated through-flow discharge vacuum motor / blower. An automatic microprocessor controlled infrared sensor turns the commercial hand dryer off when hands are not beneath the air outlet and has an 80 second auto cut-off should hands or an object become stuck beneath the unit. Two tamper resistant screws hold the cover tightly to the steel base and the blower air intake is shielded for safety and to reduce vandalism.

American Dryer backs this and all GXT series hand dryers with a 10-year limited warranty.
