Topics:

• Will the new external dispenser work on existing Classic (BI) models?
• Classic external dispenser panel compatibility
• Can the upgraded external dispenser be installed on an existing model?

Answer:

New Classic (BI) dispenser models are compatible with existing BI external dispenser model panels.

• The glasswell bezel accommodates a 1/4" (6) thick panel for framed applications and a 3/4" (19) thick panel for overlay and flush inset applications.
• Panels thicker than 3/4" (19) must be routed in the dispenser area to 3/4" (19) (1-1/8" (29) total including backer and spacer panels).
• With a thicker panel and old dispenser panel dimensions, the panels will fit on a new dispenser model but may not be the same flush look depending how the panel is routed.
• The old bezel has a curved front surface shown on the left. The new dispenser front is flat, as shown on the right.
