Can I plug this hand dryer in?


Does this hand dryer simply get  plugged in to an electrical outlet? Is there a gas connection required?

Thanks

Dear Drip, 


This, and almost all hand dryers, are intended to be hard-wired, so you need an electrician to bring a power source to it.  You can purchase a cord and plug and add that yourself and then you will be able to plug it in, but otherwise, it is hard wired and that is the best and the safest way to use it.  Hand dryers are normally electrical, there is no gas.

Hello,

I have 10 XA5 dryers.  Is there any upgrade to my XA5’s that can make them more powerful?

Hi, Gary,

If you are willing to swap out your XA5-974 hand dryer with a new hand dryer, I  have the perfect upgrade for you.  The World Dryer Airmax, model XM5-974 is the same hand dryer as the XA5 that you have, however it is almost twice as fast.  The Airmax has a faster motor and pushes more air through the same nozzle.  The World Dryer Model A, model XA5-974 takes 30 seconds to dry hands.  The Airmax, model XM5-974 takes less than 20 seconds to dry hands.

The good news is that both hand dryers are the same size and the same voltage, so it's easy to swap one out for the other.  But the Model A is fairly quiet and the Airmax can be considered noisy.  

To buy the World Dryer Airmax, XM5-974 please go to this site:  World Dryer Airmax Hand Dryer
