The ASI 1002 Counter Top Paper Towel Dispenser installs right into the counter top surface of your sink area, making it an excellent solution for providing paper towels in restrooms where the design makes it difficult to add a wall-mounted unit. The dispenser is crafted from type-304, 18-gauge stainless steel and requires a rough opening that measures 4-1/2 inches in height by 12-1/2 inches in length. To properly install the unit, the counter top must be 1/2 of an inch to 4 inches in thickness. The unit features flap doors mounted on heavy-duty stainless steel springs and can hold one package of C fold or multifold paper towels. The towel dispensing mechanism located inside of the dispenser is manufactured from heavy-duty, 14-gauge stainless steel. The mechanism is spring actuated to keep constant tension inside of the unit and continuously push the unused towels forward in the dispenser, so that they can be retrieved by users.
