The World Dryer Model A has been the standard hand dryer in the industry for 50 years and may be the most reliable hand dryer available anywhere. Built like a tank, it is made to withstand use, abuse, and vandalism. The cast iron cover is literally bullet proof. (World Dryer has the flattened bullet to prove it.)

LOOK AT OUR LIMITED TIME PRICING ON THE WORLDSTONE THERMOSET POLYMER COVER OPTIONS.  THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO GET THIS PREMIUM DRYER IN THE AUTOMATIC OR BLACK VERSION AT A REALLY LOW PRICE.  WHILE SUPPLIES LAST ONLY.

At 200 CFMs (Cubic Feet of air per Minute) this dryer takes about 30 seconds to dry hands - faster than most.  For the same dryer in a high-speed version we recommend the World Dryer AirMax hand dryerIf noise is an issue, stick with the Model A.

World stone cover options: Automatic, surface mounted units only.
  • White: XA5-674, XA54-674
  • Black: XA5-662, XA54-662
  • We are currently running a special on these models
  • For more information on cover options, please see our hand dryer cover option guide
Activation: Push button or automatic (we recommend automatic)

Cover Material:
1) Cast iron with porcelain enamel – white. This is the number one choice for vandalism -  bullet-proof and the enamel finish is virtually scratch proof
 
2) Stainless steel – either brushed or polished.  This is also very vandal resistant (particularly the brushed version, which hides small scratches) Stainless is also beautiful, elegant and the easiest material to keep clean.  

3) Stamped Steel – white. Steel is very durable and a great alternative to cast iron as it is lighter and less expensive. 

4) WorldStone – thermoset polymer.  This polymer was developed for the automotive and aerospace industry where lightweight was required in high temperature settings.  It is very durable and light scratches can be buffed out.  In the long run, this material could look better than steel. It will never rust! World Dryer offers this in 4 standard colors: white, black, beige and granite grey.  Only available in surface mounted, automatic versions.

Electrical: 2300 watts with a choice of 115, 208/230 or 277 volts. 8.5 – 20 amps depending on your choice of volts.

Motor: 1/10 HP, 7500 RPM

Airflow: 200 CFMs: (Cubic Feet per minute), 7300 LFMs (Linear Feet per Minute)

Noise level
: 75 dBs - quiet 

Dry time: under 30 seconds
Timed setting for push button: 30 seconds

Nozzle settings
: The Universal Nozzles on the dryers are all shipped in the fixed setting.  If you want the nozzles to be in the swivel position so that they can rotate up for face and hair drying, use the wrench included to loosen the fixing screw during installation.  The "5" in the model number indicates a fixed nozzle.  You no longer see model numbers without the "5" since they all now ship fixed.  So the A-974 is now the A5-974.  These meet all hand dryer specifications that call for a swivel or flip nozzle.

Recessed settings:   For an ADA compliant Model A that is 4" off the wall, select a recessed mounted dryer.  These dryers all come with the new "Q" nozzle, which is more effective than the old "E" nozzle.  Model numbers are therefore RA5-Q975, XRA5-Q974, etc.  These model numbers replace the old model numbers of RA5E-974, XRA5E-974, etc.  If you still wish to purchase a dryer with an "E" nozzle, we can provide this for you at the same price as the "Q" nozzle dryer.  Please email us at sales@restroomdirect.com.

Recessed dryers come together with the wall box that must be installed first into the wall.  Cover options are cast iron and the new stainless steel (automatic only).  Stainless model numbers (120 volt shown) are DXRA5-Q973 for brushed stainless and DXRA5-Q972 for polished.  (For other voltages: DXRA54, DXRA57) There are no recessed white steel dryers and World Dryer has discontinued the recessing kit that used to recess the white steel dryers.
