Specifier Checklist: What to Verify Before Approval
Hydraulic compatibility
Match urinal fixture, flush valve, supply pressure, required flush volume, and drainage conditions.
Sensor and power
Check sensor range, batteries or mains power, commissioning procedure, and fail-safe behavior.
Accessibility and maintenance
Check applicable ADA and local accessibility rules, mounting heights, access panels, replacement parts, and cleaning requirements.
Flow rates, ADA suitability, BMS integration, and third-party certifications vary by exact model. Do not infer compliance from a family name or a marketing description.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a sensor flush valve and a manual flushometer?
A sensor flush valve activates flushing automatically when its control logic detects the appropriate use cycle. A manual flushometer requires a user-operated handle or button. Both need a compatible fixture and supply arrangement.
How do I compare high-efficiency urinal water use?
Compare the rated gallons per flush for the approved fixture-and-flush-valve pairing. Check local plumbing requirements, fixture performance, and the manufacturer’s tested configurations.
Should I specify an exposed or concealed sensor flush valve?
Exposed units may simplify inspection and service. Concealed units provide a cleaner wall appearance but require coordinated access for maintenance and replacement.
What documentation should be included in a urinal submittal?
Request model-specific cut sheets, installation and rough-in drawings, flush-volume data, power requirements, service clearances, parts lists, warranty details, and relevant compliance documentation.
