Urinal Installation in Farmers Branch, TX

Adding Urinals Where They're Needed

Helped a church in Farmers Branch add urinals to their men’s restroom. Lines at the bathroom during services were crazy. Two urinals later, traffic flows way better. Simple addition made a real difference.

Urinal installation makes sense for businesses, churches, schools, and anywhere with high men’s restroom traffic.

My Local Plumber is the absolute BEST! I have used them multiple times, usually when there is an emergency. They always respond quickly, arrive on time and get the job done the same day, usually within just a couple of hours. The staff, both field and office are super friendly, courteous and respectful. I am VERY satisfied with every aspect of My Local Plumber!

My local plumber has provided me excellent service two times! Once fixing my backyard sump pump. And then the second time helping clear a difficult clog in the courtyard. Even came out in the rain! Very nice and respectful employees who communicate well!

My water heater was not working and it was Friday evening. I reached out to My Local Plumber and they showed up in the promised time frame and then fix my water heater! Zach and Marco are very professional and provide construct suggestion for me. This experience gives me confidence that they are reliable and I will continue to hire their plumbing service whenever I need.

We have used My Local Plumber for years and they continue to provide excellent plumbing services. Today, we had them out to handle a backed up kitchen sink drain. The technicians were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Thank you so much!

Very impressed with the professionalism of Ish and his partner. I had a highly-unusual problem, they were able to locate the issue, brainstorm to find a solution, and ultimately fixed the issue without increasing the bill. I will definitely use them in the future.

Why Install Urinals

  • Faster traffic flow Urinals free up stalls for people who need them.
  • Water savings Modern urinals use way less water than toilets.
  • Hygiene Less seat contact and cleanup issues.
  • Code requirements Some occupancies require urinals based on capacity.

Types of Urinals

  • Wall mounted Most common, hangs on wall at a specific height.
  • Floor mounted Sits on floor, less common now.
  • Trough style Multiple users, mainly in stadiums. Rare in regular buildings.
  • Waterless No flush, special drain trap system.

Flush Systems

  • Manual flush valves User activates flush.
  • Automatic flush Sensor detects use and flushes automatically. More sanitary.
  • Low flow 5 gallons per flush or less.
  • High efficiency 125 gallons or pint flush.
  • Waterless Zero water use with special cartridges that need replacing.

Installation Requirements

Supply line for flush valve, except waterless units. Drain connection to the building drain system. Proper height mounting, typically 24 inches from floor to rim for adults. Backing into the wall for secure mounting. Privacy partitions between units.

The Installation Process

Rough in plumbing through wall during construction or renovation. Install supply line for flush valve. Install drain connection at proper height and angle. Add mounting blocking in wall framing. Once walls are closed, hang urinal at specified height. Connect flush valve to supply line. Install drain connection. Test for leaks and proper operation.

ADA Compliance

Commercial installations must include ADA-compliant urinals. Maximum rim height is 17 inches from floor. Proper clear floor space in front. Flush controls at accessible height and location.

Waterless Urinals

Use special trap inserts with liquid seal. No water, no flush valve, no supply line required. Major water savings, thousands of gallons per year per urinal. Cartridges need replacing every few months, depending on use. Some cities offer rebates for installing these.

Spacing and Privacy

Codes specify minimum spacing between urinals. Privacy partitions between units, required in most areas. Specific height, depth, and gap requirements for partitions.

Water Savings

Old urinals used 1 to 3 gallons per flush. Modern high-efficiency models use 0.125 gallons. Waterless models use zero. Over a year in busy restrooms, the savings are significant.

Costs

  • Basic urinal installation typically runs $500 to $800 per unit.
  • Automatic flush valves add $100 to $200.
  • Waterless urinals are similar in cost but save on water bills.
  • Rough in plumbing during construction is easier and cheaper than retrofits. 

Retrofitting Existing Restrooms

Adding urinals to existing bathrooms is doable but more involved. Walls need to be opened for supply and drain lines. May require relocating other fixtures to create space. Floor and wall repairs add cost.

Maintenance Needs

Flush valves need occasional service as diaphragms wear out. Drains can develop mineral buildup. Waterless cartridges need regular replacement. Auto sensors require battery changes or electrical maintenance. Regular cleaning prevents odors and buildup.

Fixture Quality

Commercial-grade urinals are built tougher than residential fixtures. Vitreous china is standard, durable and easy to clean. Stainless steel is used for vandal-prone areas. Quality flush valves are worth the investment because cheap ones fail often.

Schools and High Traffic Areas

Youth fixtures mounted lower, typically 12 to 15 inches. Vandal-resistant fixtures for problem areas. Sensor flush systems prevent misuse.

Permits and Codes

Commercial plumbing requires permits. All work must meet plumbing codes and ADA requirements. Inspections are required before closing walls and after completion.

Water Pressure

Flush valves need adequate water pressure, typically 25 to 80 PSI. Too low and they will not flush properly. Too high and they can be damaged. We check pressure and install regulators if needed.

Multiple Units

Installing several urinals requires proper drain sizing. Supply lines must have adequate capacity. Spacing requirements apply between units.

Partition Installation

Usually handled by contractors but we coordinate. Proper mounting ensures partitions are secure. All height and gap requirements must be met.

Ongoing Costs

Water usage for flushing, except waterless models. Replacement parts for flush valves. Cartridges for waterless units. Regular cleaning and maintenance.

ROI Considerations

Water savings can pay back installation costs over time.

Improved restroom traffic flow has real operational value.

Customer, tenant, and visitor satisfaction improves.
