URINAL

Urinals flush and drain normally, but can also be fitted for hands-free operation in some applications.

White plastic bottle traps are the most widely used with urinals as they are the easiest to clean.

They’re called “urinal cakes” and are commonly seen at the bottom of urinals. Their purpose? Control bacteria and reduce smell. They’re made of para-dichlorobenzene, a chemical that does deodorise but comes with baggage.

Although there are many different brands and models of urinals, there are only two basic types: trough urinals and bowl urinals.
