The bowl is constructed of grade 304, 16-gauge stainless steel with a matte finish. It includes a patented cartridge with biodegradable sealant, which acts as a barrier against bacteria and odors.

The no-flush mechanism eliminates valve maintenance and water use costs. The urinal includes all installation hardware and an instructional DVD.

Customers can choose from either a manual flushometer or from several battery-powered and hardwire sensor-operated models for automatic, hands-free flushing.
