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.

Tap mounting
Soap and locating the soap dispenser
Do not place the downward facing water sensor of the tap
over a reflective surface, such as the drainage hole. (Fig.5)
For complete instructions, please refer to the printed
installation guide supplied with the machine.

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.

Water drainage
Base to back and front wall transition
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,

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).

Sink access guidelines

to ensure there is sufficient access under the sink to allow for
servicing and installation to take place (Fig.11).

Plug hole
Plug holes with the most open aperture are recommended,
whereas grill or perforated type plug holes should be avoided
as they restrict the drainage of soapy water (lather).
Do not use plugs within the plug holes in sinks.

Water temperature control
If you are connecting a hot and cold water feed
you will need to install a thermostatic mixer.
If connecting to cold only water feed
you will need to install a heater.

Installing AB11
AB11 metal enclosure assembly
The AB11 Dyson Airblade Tap hand dryer is designed so that the
motor unit is located behind a stud wall within a metal enclosure
which is supplied with the Dyson Airblade Tap hand dryer (Fig.13).
The vertical wall studs must be constructed so as to allow the metal
enclosure to be fitted between them (Fig.14). One of the horizontal
wall studs must be fitted a) so it holds the main weight of the metal
duct and the unit, and b) so it is in the correct position for the
tap stem.
For complete instructions, please refer to the printed
installation guide supplied with the machine.

Water supply cleanliness and biological grow th
In some countries there are regulations or guidelines that require
temperature controlled water supply systems (such as that supplied
to the Dyson Airblade Tap hand dryer) to be subjected to regular
cleaning to minimise any biological growth.
To enable you to meet these regulations, the Dyson Airblade Tap
hand dryer has been designed and tested to withstand internal
cleaning both with hot water up to 203°F and with sodium hypochlorite
at a concentration of 0.45%.
Please refer to specific (market) regulations and water supply system
recommendations for information on cleaning regimes for water
supply cleanliness and biological growth for your country.
When carrying out internal cleaning of the Dyson Airblade Tap
hand dryer, please be aware of any safet y considerations when
using hot water or chemicals. Dyson will not be responsible
for any injur y caused by this process.
Abusive testing
The Dyson Airblade Tap hand dryer has undergone rigorous
abusive testing to ensure that it can withstand substantial
forces and impacts typical of a commercial and public
bathroom environment.
