About this book

Urinals are purpose-built fixtures with their own engineering logic, water-efficiency standards, maintenance rhythms, and cost drivers—yet they're often treated as generic commodities by general plumbing references. This handbook is built for the professionals and serious buyers who need to understand them properly.

Inside, you'll find concrete guidance on urinal types (wall-hung, floor-standing, trough, waterless), the specifications that actually matter (trapway diameter, flush valve rating, water consumption per flush), and how to choose the right fixture for your specific facility and usage pattern. You'll learn installation requirements most general plumbers overlook, routine maintenance that prevents costly failures, and the real economics of water-use comparison between models. If you're a facilities manager, contractor, or property owner making these decisions, or if you're exploring business opportunities in urinal sales, service, or consulting, this handbook provides the technical depth and practical examples you need.

Based on industry standards, manufacturer documentation, and professional practice, this is the reference you'll return to whenever urinal questions arise on your job site or in your facility.

★★★★★

Finally a reference that treats urinals as their own category instead of lumping them in with toilet documentation. As a facilities manager responsible for six commercial buildings, I've spent years piecing together maintenance and specification info from bits of manufacturer docs and forum threads. This handbook is organized exactly how I think about the problem—I can quickly find what I need about trap sizing, water consumption math, and troubleshooting. Chapter 1 alone clarified why waterless urinals make sense in some buildings but not others. Worth having on the shelf.
