Blowout Urinals

1) What is a Blowout Urinal and how does it differ from other types of urinals?

A Blowout Urinal has a hole on the inlet of the trapway that flushes the entire amount of liquid in the urinal. The water jet that is utilized is typically at a higher velocity and creates a better and more certain drainage of all liquid and waste in the urinal.

2) How do you clean a Blowout Urinal?

Soap and water or common household cleaners are your best options when cleaning stainless steel. Avoid the use of harsh cleaners as they can damage the stainless steel.


3) What supports a Blowout Urinal to the wall?

The installation kit includes hangars that must be attached to studs located behind the wall. These studs should be strong enough to hold the weight of the fixture as well as resist acts of vandalism.

Commercial Industrial Hand Wash Fountains and Sinks


What are some of the choices for multi-user commercial industrial hand wash lavatories?

Wash Fountains are multi-user hand wash basins used in industrial, clinical and laboratory settings where a hands free hand washing lavatory is required. These multi-user wash hand washing fountains are lavatories designed with a foot operated pedestal which activates multiple spray heads for hands free hand washing. Wash fountain hand washing stations can be upgraded from the pedestal design to an Infrared® light located in the spray head that detects hands and activates the spray head at that source automatically conserving water and energy. Wash fountains are available in circular and semi-circular including the contemporary designs of the corner fount and quadra founts. These sink basin designs range from 36 inches to 54 inches in the Classic or Sentry series. Available in wall mounted or floor mounting installation choices, these multi-station hand wash fountains are designed to accommodate from 3 to 8 users at a time, are offered in 4 material choices (Stainless Steel, Bradmar, Terreon and Terrazzo materials), two heights (Standard or Juvenile in some designs), and fit to Type A, B, H and O plumbing sources. Wash fountains are designed to meet ADA compliance in most models when installed properly.

Factory trained professionals provide detailed information to save you time and money on your multi station wash fountain needs. Installation instructions, rough-in detail and specs are readily available to work with architectural plumbing plans and provisions for renovations and new construction.

Teakwood Furniture


1) Do you reforest the areas where you harvest your teak trees?

Yes, absolutely. We only deal with properly managed, reforested, and sustainable forests. We want to leave the forest better than when we arrived and for that reason we insist that five new seeds are planted for every tree that we cut.

2) Why is Teakwood furniture usually more expensive than other hardwood furniture?

There are other hardwoods used for outdoor (and indoor) furniture and they are cheaper and inferior to teakwood. These other hardwoods do not have the same life expectancy as teak and they don’t have the same touch, feel, or aesthetic quality as teakwood.

3) Will teakwood furniture warp when it is left outside in harsh weather?

Quality teakwood furniture that has been properly kiln-dried will withstand the harshest outdoor weather for a lifetime and will not warp. This is one of the key characteristics of teakwood in addition to its beauty.

Yes. As of October 6, 2006 the 4C Mailbox systems were mandatory on all new construction and major rehabs.

Sentry Wash Fountains


1) Why is the Sentry Wash Fountain only available in stainless steel?

Because this material offers an excellent combination of long term durability and hygiene.


2) Why is the Sentry WashFountain not recommended for heavy duty usage?

The Sentry Wash Fountain is designed for light to moderate use and therefore has a shallow bowl for washing hands, not hands and arms. In addition, the water flow rate is designed to be low and save water.


3) Do people wash their hands frequently enough?

No. Most people do not know or follow the CDC guidelines of when to wash their hands. But common sense is the best guide.
