Urinal in the garage?

[PAPASMURF]

Does a urinal have to go in the septic or dirty water? I have a hook up for the sink there and was just thinking of plumbing a urinal there... Thanks. Also maybe some pics of Urinals/bathrooms if you have em in the garage. Thanks guys..

Do you mean in addition to the sink? If so the sink should be plumbed for a drain. You can just tap into the same drain.

 

[PAPASMURF]

thats what I was thinking just not sure if the waste has to go to the septic line or the dirty water line since there was no "2's" going down.

 

[mpraddict]

Where is your sink draining? Typically everything drains to the same place

 

[mtwaterguy]

If your sink hook up was installed by a plumber your sink drain should be connected to the septic.

 

[PAPASMURF]

sweet!!! It is a track home and they just have the hookups there I just have to go buy the utility sink kit for it. Now I have to talk the old lady into me putting a urinal in there...Then she will know it's mans land. Hahahaha

Don't know what you mean by "septic" or "dirty water". The waste water all goes to the same place - septic field or municipal waste. Some buildings have "gray water" systems but those are usage of non-potable water for non-potable uses (i.e., flushing toilets) but in that case it would still go out the sanitary.

The urinal hooks up quite easily, at least mine did.

 

[PAPASMURF]

awesome, do you have pics of your set up?

 

[jimvannoy]

I have a sink in the shop. If I need to take a leak I step outside.

 

[Joe B.]

Why would you need a urinal if you already have a sink? It seems like a sink would do the job by itself.

Empty milk jug works great....or a quick trip out back

 

[Bevis]

Gatorade bottle too...but I never buy the lemon-lime flavor.

I "plumbed" a funnel to some ABS pipe through a hole in the wall. It drains onto the nasty neighbors' fruit trees

So that is what is causing their trees to die at that location...you are pure eeeviiil.....

If need be a 5 gal bucket with arm and hammer cat litter works great also. I know guys that keep it in their truck for emergencies. it cant spill and if it does it vacuums up.

I have a good friend who is a local sign painter/pinstriper that had a similar setup at his old place. But after applying his trade, the area around the funnel was painted to look like a urinal!

Actually, the GD apples on his tree where HUGE last year!! Must be all the 'nutrients' going through my system!

Now that is something I'd like to do! RIght now, I have a picture of George Bush surrounding the inlet - if you know what I mean!

Hmmmm - my flies are real.

 

[tassue]

a friend of mine...has a tube running outside into the ground 4-6ft
the "piss hole" is a cut in half quart of oil bottle ....works like a funnel...
he uses the other side as a lid to close it off.......over 20yrs and still works great

 

[Thumper]

Funnel and hose..............over to the neighbors coy pond !

 

[edl]

great suggestions - another one...steal some diapers...makes disposal quick and easy...finally, if all else fails, hit the pot you drain your oil into...can't make it anymore toxic than it already is (well for most of us anyway!!)

Yea, but I'll bet they don't taste good!

i've tried that a few times but my shop's right in the middle of the city. it only took one nasty look from the neighbor to realize that i should probably just go into the house...

The fruit trees are probably doing well.

Septic. Don't stop with a urinal, get a bidet. The chicks will like it.

There are allowances around here to do drain systems that are non-tanked and non-septic. Think kitchen drain. I wonder if a urinal would be allowed as it doesn't deal with solids?

 

[nadogail]

My workshop has a full toilet, the cost of adding the toilet was equal to the cost of adding a urinal.

Just curious, why are you dragging up a 15 year old thread? Are you wondering if that dude is still peeing in his neighbors orchard?

Yeah I wonder why not go all the way.

Sorry I didn't realize this was so old. Please forgive me.

 

[gleman]

Oh I'm not mad. To be honest that was what I was wondering.

 

[ATC]

Old thread or not....I just step outside the door and pee wherever I want. Joys of living on 5 wooded acres...

 

[Mikeske]

Step outside aim shoot and since I am out in country nobody noticed.

 

[e-tek]

Talk about a blast from tbr past!
FWIW, I'm not still peeing on my neighbours trees. We moved to an acreage with an attached garage and there's a terlet just inside. Plus as I've gotten much older I don't pee as much - or as easily - as I used to.
Carry on.

How are the trees doing? Did they die yet?

I have noticed that with my advanced age I seem to be peeing more frequently than I did when I was not yet a Senior.

They actually produced more!
