SECTION 10815 ELECTRIC HAND DRYERS ***** SANIFLOW SERIES ***** ***** Saniflow Corporation is the American-sister-company of Mediclinics, S.A. and manufacturers several styles of electric, warm-air hand dryers. This guide can be used to prepare a specification for incorporating the Saniflow Series Hand Dryer into a competitively bid construction project. These dryers are long-lasting compact units with anti-vandalism features and low energy consumption. They operate free of vibration and noise and require minimal maintenance. This specification section is organized by placing information in three standard parts: PART 1 - GENERAL Describes administrative and procedural requirements. PART 2 - PRODUCTS Describes electric hand dryers to be incorporated into the construction project. PART 3 - EXECUTION Describes how the dryers will be installed at the construction site. Throughout this product guide specification, references are made to other specification sections that might be contained in the project manual. These references are presented as examples and coordination reminders. For each project, these references will need to be revised to reflect actual sections being used. Within the specification text, Imperial dimensions are presented first in brackets followed by System International Metric (SI) equivalents also in brackets. Depending on project requirements, either the Imperial or the SI metric equivalents will need to be deleted. The specifier will need to edit this product specification for a specific project to reflect the options being used. The guide section has been written so that most editing can be accomplished by deleting unnecessary requirements and options. Options are indicated by [ ]. Notes to assist the specifier in selecting options and editing the specification guide are printed in bold and indicated with *****. For final editing, all brackets and notes will need to be deleted from the guide. ****************************************************************************** PART 1 - GENERAL 1.1 SUMMARY A.
