Competitor Comparison:
Dispenser models like the Bobrick B-265 or Bradley 5412 lack the rugged gauge thickness and CDCR credentials of the AA-PTD-ZF-CDCR. Where others rely on 18-gauge or thinner steel, this model uses 12-gauge construction backed by a 10-year warranty — offering a significantly more secure and lasting solution.
