PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION

(AB11 only) 4". Front edge of sink (all types – p edestal, recessed, slab)
to wall minimum 4".

Multiple taps should have a minimum distance between tap centers of 23".

Tap mounting

The tap stem (measured from the outside diameter) should
be mounted

1

/2" - 1 1/2" from the outside edge of the sink. (Fig.2)

There should be a minimum of 11

1

/2" between a tap center and
a side wall. When multiple taps are installed side-by-side, tap
centers should be a minimum of 23" apart. This allows sufficient
space for mounting the motor bucket, as well as sufficient
shoulder room for users. (Fig.4)

Sink specification guidelines

Using a specially designed test method, Dyson engineers tested
a wide range of sinks to assess their compatibility with the Dyson
Airblade Tap hand dryer. For recommended sinks, please use
our guide at www.dyson.com/docs

Porcelain or brushed metal sinks are ideal.

Sinks with highly polished surfaces should be avoided
e.g. reflective chrome.

Soap and locating the soap dispenser

For best user experience, Dyson recommends the use of gel soaps.

The infrared sensing zone for air activation extends along each
tap branch. In order to prevent accidental activation, it’s important
to consider the user’s hand route to the soap dispenser.

The dispenser should be located at least 2

3

/8" outside the width

of the tap, so the user reaches around the side of the branch.

It should also be located at least 2

3

/8" above the branches,

so that the sensors are not activated.

Please note that the user may reach diagonally across for the
soap, so this path must not go through the sensing zone.

Tap mounting

Do not place the downward facing water sensor of the tap
over a reflective surface, such as the drainage hole. (Fig.5)

installation guide supplied with the machine.

Base to back and front wall transition

The base to back and front wall transition should also be
considered. The back wall should be as close to 90°, and
at as sharp a radius as possible (Fig.8). Curved geometry
is more likely to increase splashback, whereas sloping back
and front wall transitions should be avoided (Fig.9 & 10).

Water drainage

Due to high velocity air and water being in close proximity,
there is a chance of some water and soap dispersion outside
the sink dimensions. To alleviate this effect, we recommend
following the below guidelines.

Base Profile

Flat base profile will result in poor drainage leading
to high levels of splashback.

To improve drainage, avoid sinks with a flat base with particular
focus on the immediate area surrounding the drain hole,
minimum 2

3

/8" radius (Fig.7).

Vertical and sharp transition

Vertical and smooth transition

Sloped transition

Minimum of 6° ramp angle from the edge of the drain hole
of the sink will result in good drainage leading to reduced
levels of splashback (minimum 2

3

/8" radius).
