250 or 500 pairs: which dispenser fits?
The EP500 holds 500 pairs (1,000 earplugs), the EP250 holds 250 pairs (500 earplugs). Both are built the same way and ready for use straight away; they differ only in how much they hold.
The larger fill suits entrances used by many employees or several shifts; for smaller areas and for visitor or contractor entrances the EP250 is often enough. How to calculate demand is explained on the dispensers page.
Colours and article numbers
The letters at the end of the article number give the colour of the earplugs: SBWG for blue/white/green, SGY for green/yellow, SY for yellow. The colour can be chosen freely, for example to match the marking of an area.
- EP500SGY: 500 pairs, green/yellow
- EP500SBWG: 500 pairs, blue/white/green
- EP500SY: 500 pairs, yellow
- EP250SGY: 250 pairs, green/yellow
- EP250SBWG: 250 pairs, blue/white/green
- EP250SY: 250 pairs, yellow
Mounting and refilling
The dispenser is screwed to the wall; screws and wall plugs are included. One turn of the rotating mechanism releases one pair of earplugs, so they are taken out individually and in a controlled way.
The EP500SGY is refilled with the EPR1227GY refill bag (500 pairs).
