Spotlight On Our UWHC Stainless Steel Urinal

UWHC Stainless Steel Wall-Hung Trough Urinal — Superior Quality, Hygiene & Water Efficiency,

At Washware Essentials, we are proud to offer the UWHC Stainless Steel Wall Hung Trough Urinal, a premium-grade sanitaryware solution designed and manufactured in-house for outstanding durability, hygiene and performance. From material selection to finish, every aspect of the UWHC reflects our commitment to quality control and water-efficient design.

Built in-house for Quality & Hygiene

Like many of our products we manufacture this product in our own group manufacturing facility. This means that:

• All major structural components are stainless steel, with no substitute or lesser metals used, ensuring superior corrosion resistance and a high-quality finish.
• Because the facility is under our ownership/control, we maintain rigorous quality inspection and full traceability on welding, polishing and assembly.
• The UWHC trough is uniformly polished on all exposed surfaces — the back, both end panels, the trough front and interior — unlike many cheaper versions which may only polish internal visible faces.
• Sound-deadening pads are fitted as standard to help control water noise / reverberation from flushing and drainage.
• This approach delivers a high-spec, long-life product suited to demanding environments such as public washrooms, schools, leisure facilities and office blocks.

Premium Specification Highlights

Key features of the UWHC include:

• Wall hung trough style design for clean installation and easy cleaning.
• Plastic cistern (with WRAS-approved siphon) to ensure regulated flushing performance and compliance with water fittings legislation.
• Uniform high-grade stainless steel finish on all visible surfaces for aesthetic continuity and durability.
• Integral mounting points for ease of installation and secure fixing.
• Sound-deadening pads behind the trough to minimise noise from flush operation and water impact.
• Waste set-up: standard 38 mm plastic waste outlet, situated at either left or right hand end (factory choice). Optional chrome-plated brass waste with stainless steel dome grating is available for premium specification.
• Choice of optional bottle traps: either 38 mm plastic or chrome-plated brass version. Also optional stainless steel trap and downpipe covers to match the trough.
• Large stockholding of multiple lengths: 900mm, 1200mm, 1500mm, 1800mm, 2000mm and 2400mm - all available with either left-hand or right-hand waste outlet and all ready for next-day UK delivery.

Water Efficiency & Legislation Compliance

When specifying a trough urinal, water efficiency and compliance with regulation must be front of mind. Under the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 (Schedule 2, Part “WC’s, flushing devices and urinals”), the following applies:
“every urinal that is cleared by water after use shall be supplied with water from a flushing device which … is designed or adapted to supply no more water than is necessary for effective flow over the internal surface of the urinal and for replacement of the fluid in the trap.” 
It goes on to require that unless manually flushed, “every pipe which supplies water to a flushing cistern or trough used for flushing a urinal shall be fitted with an isolating valve controlled by a time switch and a lockable isolating valve, or with some other equally effective automatic device for regulating the periods during which the cistern may fill"

Optional Flush Controller – Marnic Water Watch

To help meet and exceed the regulatory requirements and to significantly reduce water wastage, the optional Marnic Water Watch flush controller integrates perfectly with the UWHC trough. The system:

• Detects usage via a wide-angle PIR sensor, and triggers a flush only after occupancy, ensuring that the cistern only fills and flushes when required. waterwatch.co.uk+1
• Can be programmed for a hygiene flush after prolonged inactivity (e.g., 12 or 24 hours) so that periods of no use (weekends, holidays) do not create hygiene risks. Washware Essentials+1
• Has been shown to deliver savings of up to 90% on water usage in some installations when compared with uncontrolled flush cisterns.
• Including the Marnic Water Watch means your specification is both future-proof and aligned with current best practice for water management in commercial washrooms.
