Which part is damaged?

Please note, due to the nature of the damage, the replacement part will be charged.

Which part is damaged?

Flow lines occur during production and are a result of the plastic moulding process. This is perfectly normal and will not impact on the function or structure of the machine.

Is there anything else we can help you with?

Please note that when using our product (and any other hands under, wall mounted hand dryer) that the water from wet hands is blown off into the air and if there is a collection of water on the wall, this can be easily wiped away as part of the regular cleaning regime in the washroom.

If the water on the wall is an issue, especially for porous surfaces, consider the use of a splash back or non-porous wall surface (e.g. ceramic tile).
