The BLV-1062 Manual Soap Dispenser in Black is a premium, high-durability liquid soap dispensing solution designed for both commercial and residential environments. While retaining all the functional advantages of its chrome counterpart, the black finish offers a modern, minimalist, and fingerprint-resistant appearance that suits contemporary, industrial, or high-end interior designs. This dispenser provides a reliable, non-electric method of dispensing soap, sanitizer, or lotion. Its 304 stainless steel construction ensures exceptional longevity, while the black coating adds a sophisticated, low-maintenance aesthetic.

Material & Build Quality

The housing is manufactured from 304 stainless steel, a material known for its outstanding resistance to rust, corrosion, and chemical exposure. This makes the dispenser ideal for humid environments such as bathrooms, kitchens, and even semi-outdoor covered areas.

The black finish is applied over the stainless steel surface. Unlike painted plastic dispensers that chip or fade, this finish is designed to be durable, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean. The black color also:

• Hides water spots and fingerprints better than chrome or white finishes
• Matches dark fixtures (black faucets, showerheads, towel bars)
• Reduces visible wear over time in high-traffic settings

The metal body provides impact resistance that plastic alternatives cannot match.

Operation & Discharge Mode

The dispenser uses a manual press mechanism – no batteries, sensors, or electrical connections required. A simple downward press on the pump head releases a controlled amount of liquid. This mechanical simplicity offers:

Capacity & Dimensions

The 470ml reservoir holds the equivalent of a standard 16 oz refill bottle, providing approximately 900–1000 single pumps before needing a refill. This capacity is ideal for:

• Medium traffic: Office restrooms (1–2 weeks between refills)
• High traffic: Restaurant kitchens, school washrooms (2–4 days)
• Low traffic: Residential guest bathrooms (months between refills)

The compact dimensions (98×78×196mm) ensure the dispenser maintains a low profile against the wall, reducing the risk of accidental knocks in narrow hallways or busy restrooms. At just 0.2 kg, the unit places minimal stress on wall fixings, allowing installation on drywall, tile, or stainless steel panels.

Environmental & Installation Conditions

• Ambient temperature range: 0°C to 45°C
  – The dispenser functions reliably in unheated entryways (above freezing), warm humid restrooms, and even covered outdoor areas such as poolside changing rooms.
• Recommended installation: Wall-mounted. The lightweight construction allows the use of standard screws and wall plugs. For tile or stone surfaces, appropriate masonry anchors are recommended.
• Orientation: Vertical mounting only (pump head facing upward)

Suitable Applications

The black finish expands the dispenser's suitability to specific design-conscious environments:

Advantages Over Other Dispenser Types (Black Edition)

Care & Maintenance Instructions

1. Cleaning the black body: Wipe daily with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive pads, bleach-based cleaners, or acidic liquids that may damage the finish.
2. Finish protection: Do not use alcohol-based wipes aggressively on the black surface, as repeated harsh rubbing may dull the coating over time.
3. Pump maintenance: If the pump becomes stiff, remove it and rinse with warm water. Do not use oil-based lubricants – these can degrade rubber seals and contaminate the soap.
4. Refilling procedure:
• Grip the pump head and unscrew the entire pump assembly from the bottle neck.
• Pour liquid soap into the 470ml reservoir, leaving 1–2 cm of space below the neck.
• Reinsert the pump assembly and tighten securely.
• Prime the pump by pressing 2–3 times until soap flows.
5. Winter operation: At temperatures near 0°C, use a low-viscosity (thin) soap formula to maintain smooth press action. Thick gel soaps may become sluggish in cold conditions.
