GW615 Patagonian Waterless Urinal For Concealed Installations

 

The GW6-15 Patagonian ceramic waterless urinal bowl uses the same valve and "snorkel" technology as the popular GW6 cartridge.The urinal is manufactured in ceramic and is suitable for concealed pipework. The Patagonian now incorporates the latest version of the GW6-15 valve core with much faster drainage - approximately 12 litres per minute. This allows for more effective sluicing of the waste pipes to keep them even cleaner. Chemical resistance has also been much improved, particularly against bleach, to which silicone valves are particularly vulnerable. The dual valves are now manufactured in a special silicone to reduce the chance of damage from harsh cleaning chemicals, although these are still best avoided in order to maximise the life of the cartridge.

How to avoid blockages in waste pipes

Whilst the waste pipes of waterless urinals block less frequently than for most flushed urinals, uric acid salts can still form a sludge which eventually cause a blockage. Sludge can be a particular problem if the waste pipes are shared with sinks or are poorly configured.  Gentworks recommends periodic sluicing with Bactericidal Cleaner to break down this sludge and carry it away into the main drain. The GW6 valve can be sluiced regularly; once every 2 to 4weeks is recommended.  The solution used should be approximately 1 part Bactericidal Cleaner to 9 parts warm water from the washroom hot tap. Sluicing volume should be around 1 litre per urinal for the GW6.
