For hotel bathrooms, approve the paper-holder position with the WC layout and room type, then repeat the accepted setting-out drawing. Measure the named point on the selected dispenser and keep reach, grab-bar clearances, wall fixing and replenishment access in the review.

Name the point being measured: paper outlet, dispenser centreline or fixing hole. Record its relation to the finished floor and the water closet. Where accessibility requirements apply, use the scoped project requirements rather than a generic residential reference.
Tables can be scrolled horizontally on smaller screens.
Delta's general measurement guide gives a 26-inch height reference. It is a design starting point, not an accessible-room compliance determination.
| Context | Reference | Measurement note |
|---|---|---|
| General design reference | 26 in / 660.4 mm | Confirm the selected holder's datum on the room elevation |
| US ADA 604.7, where applicable | Outlet 15–48 in / official metric 380–1220 mm above finished floor | Measure to paper outlet, not automatically the roll centre |
| US ADA 604.7, where applicable | Dispenser centreline 7–9 in / official metric 180–230 mm in front of WC | Reference the front of the water closet |
The ADA also addresses continuous paper flow and the relationship to grab bars. Review the complete requirements and project scope, not just the two dimensions above. The metric pairs in that row are the official rounded values. US Access Board, 604.7.
Mark the actual bowl front, paper outlet, holder projection and surrounding fittings on the elevation. Check a seated user's reach with the chosen WC and dispenser. A large enclosed roll holder can place the outlet differently from a simple open spindle even when their fixing points share a height.
Keep the accessory out of drawer and door movement and retain the required space around grab bars and other equipment. Do not use a vanity edge as the only placement reference; the vanity, WC and dispenser may change independently during procurement.
Use separate approved layouts for standard rooms and accessible rooms. Record left- or right-hand arrangement, mounting substrate, fixings and the exact accessory reference. Show the installed product footprint so the specification reviewer can assess the space it occupies.
For bulk purchasing, group quantities by approved room type and finish. Include spare holder components and mounting hardware as explicit lines. Changing the dispenser size, opening direction or roll format needs a placement review rather than a direct visual substitution.
Record the holder model, finish, fixing detail and approved room-type drawing beside the quantity. Accessible rooms and public washrooms may require different layouts, so retain their own project review. Include spare roll storage and replenishment access where the room brief requires them. Use the hotel accessories procurement list for room quantities and bulk accessory selection for the design family and packaging.
No. The required datum depends on the design requirement and dispenser. Some scoped provisions refer to the paper outlet.
Send your chosen models, installation requirements, destination and quantities. QSW will organise the product specifications, applicable model documents, spare-part schedule and packing proposal with your manufacturing quotation.
