Surely flushless urinals still need to be cleaned and having piped in water is both more efficient and safer (no sloshing water buckets around)?

- maxerickson 11y agoThe ones I've seen aren't visibly hooked to the incoming plumbing (it's just porcelain all the way to the top).
- Johnny555 11y agoThe janitor gets water from a wall mounted faucet or from the sink in the janitor's closet to clean the urinals, the capped off pipe above the urinal does nothing except make the installation more expensive. At one new building I worked in, they had to put in standard water based urinals to pass inspection then replaced them with waterless urinals for their LEED certification -- presumably now the codes allow for waterless urinals, but apparently still require the plumbing.
