Abstract
A urinal installation includes a urinal bowl, with a flexible conduit member connected to a drainage pipe normally present in bathrooms or the like, and a means to flush the urinal with water. The urinal bowl is mountable on a support such that part of the conduit forms a trap during storage. When lifted from the support for use, the conduit is straightened, removing the trap and permitting drainage. When returned to the support after use, the device is flushed and the trap restored. Alternatively, a portion of the conduit may be a rigid pipe forming a trap regardless of urninal bowl position.
