Dyson Airblade V: ADA Guidelines and Technical Specifications

ADA Guidelines for Mobility Access

The Dyson Airblade V hand dryer is designed to comply with accessibility requirements for washroom facilities. Key considerations include placement on accessible routes, ensuring the unit does not protrude into clear areas, and appropriate mounting heights for reach range and user space. Compliance with state and local codes may necessitate more stringent standards.

Clearance for Wall-Mounted Protruding Objects

The Airblade V protrudes less than 4 inches from the wall, generally meeting ADAAG requirements without needing recessing. This minimal protrusion helps maintain clear pathways and accessible maneuvering spaces.

Forward Reach

Accessibility standards often consider users in seated positions. The Airblade V's design allows for proper use via a front approach, aligning with these considerations.

Clear Floor Ground Space

A minimum clear area of 30 inches wide by 48 inches long is required in front of the unit. This space can overlap circulation paths but should not infringe upon other essential accessible areas, such as lavatory sinks, unless it's a single-use restroom.

Dyson Airblade V Accessible Installation Matrix

Conclusion: When installed at the recommended height of 34" above the finished floor with adequate front approach clearance, the Dyson Airblade V complies with accessible requirements.
