Durable Steel Construction

The M17A-UL features a 1/16” (1.5 mm) one-piece steel cover finished in white epoxy coating, offering corrosion resistance and long-term durability for commercial restroom environments.

The aluminum base plate incorporates acoustic dampening elements to reduce vibration and mechanical noise during operation.

Compared to the cast iron M17AF model, the M17A provides a lighter-weight solution while maintaining commercial-grade durability.

HEPA Filtration for Enhanced Hygiene

The integrated HEPA filter medium cartridge captures airborne particles including:

• Pollen
• Dust mites
• Tobacco smoke
• Fungi spores
• Suspended particles

This improves restroom air quality while maintaining fast drying performance.

Optional odor neutralizer tablets are also available.
