Water resistant roll material dispenser assembly and kit

A kit for use with a wall mounted roll material dispenser having an enclosure configured to hold a roll of web material with an opening through which the web material is dispensed and rendering the wall mounted roll material dispenser resistant to liquid infiltration, the kit comprising:

• a mounting plate constructed to be disposed between a back surface of the enclosure and a wall associated with supporting the wall mounted roll material dispenser;
• a gasket disposed about a perimeter of a front surface of the mounting plate and configured to form a watertight seal with the back surface of the enclosure;
• a plurality of ribs extending rearwardly from the back surface of the mounting plate toward the wall;
• and
• an annular ring that extends in a forward direction from the front surface of the mounting plate such that the annular ring is located about each of a plurality of watertight threaded slots defined by the mounting plate;
• and
• wherein the mounting plate further comprises a plurality of posts extending rearwardly from the back surface of the mounting plate a distance less than or equal to a depth of the ribs, and wherein each post comprises an aperture for receiving a fastener that engages the wall therein.

A method of installing a water resistant roll material dispenser assembly, the method comprising:

• acquiring a mounting plate having a front surface having a gasket disposed thereon and an opposing rear surface that defines at least one channel within a perimeter of the mounting plate
• affixing the mounting plate to a vertical wall such that the at least one channel is non-horizontally oriented and a portion of the opposing rear surface of the mounting plate is offset from the vertical wall;
• affixing a back wall of an enclosure of a rolled web material dispenser to the mounting plate so an outward facing surface of the back wall of the enclosure engages the front surface of the mounting plate and the gasket forms a watertight seal between the back wall of the dispenser and the front surface of the mounting plate;
• engaging at least one fastener through the back wall of the dispenser and into the mounting plate to compress the gasket;
• and
• engaging a plug with a keyhole defined by the enclosure to seal the keyhole.
