Complete your commercial restroom installation with genuine Excel Dryer hand dryer accessories. This collection includes ADA recess kits, XChanger combo kits, stainless steel wall guards, and compatible mounting solutions designed specifically for Excel hand dryers.
Whether you’re installing an XLERATOR hand dryer or Excel ThinAir hand dryers, using the proper accessories ensures code compliance, wall protection, and a clean architectural finish.
XLERATOR Recess Kits (ADA Compliant Installation)
The standard surface-mounted XLERATOR hand dryer is not ADA compliant due to wall protrusion depth. When paired with the proper recess kit, the unit will meet ADA compliant hand dryer protrusion requirements in commercial restrooms if installed properly.
Our XLERATOR recess kits:
- Reduce wall protrusion
- Create ADA compliant installations
- Provide a flush, professional appearance
- Match stainless steel hand dryer finishes
Recess kits are ideal for schools, healthcare facilities, airports, and other public buildings requiring code compliance.
XChanger Combo Kits
The XChanger Combo Kit allows you to completely retrofit an existing paper towel dispenser and waste receptacle opening with an XLERATOR hand dryer system — without major wall reconstruction.
Designed for renovation projects, the XChanger installs over the space left behind by the removed paper towel dispenser and waste receptacle. It covers the existing wall opening cleanly and does not cause damage to the surrounding wall surface.
Once installed, the XLERATOR and compatible recess kit are mounted directly into the XChanger housing, creating a seamless, finished stainless steel appearance.
Key Benefits:
- Retrofit solution for existing paper towel openings
- Eliminates costly wall patching and tile repair
- Clean, professional finished appearance
- Compatible with XLERATOR and recess kits
- Stainless steel construction for durability
The XChanger Combo Kit is also available in an ADA height-compliant version, allowing full accessibility for users in wheelchairs when installed properly according to ADA guidelines.
This makes it an ideal solution for facilities upgrading from paper towel systems to high-speed hand dryers while maintaining code compliance and minimizing renovation costs.
XLERATOR & ThinAir Wall Guards
Wall guards such as the Excel 89S, the Excel 89B or the Excel 89W protect restroom walls from water drips and surface damage beneath high-speed hand dryers.
Our stainless steel wall guards:
- Prevent paint and drywall deterioration
- Improve long-term maintenance costs

- Provide a professional finished look
