Direct Feed Urinals FAQs

Do urinals need a cistern?

No, not all urinals need a cistern, as they may be flushed from a supply pipe. Direct flush urinals (mains water flushing urinals) do not require concealed or exposed urinal cisterns. Instead, a sensor or button will usually operate the mains flush.

What is a direct flush valve?

A direct flush valve is an infrared sensor-controlled urinal valve designed for mains flushing. It will automatically flush a urinal after use, keeping the sanitaryware fresh and hygienic. Why not take a look at this discreet direct flush valve from Cistermiser which is suitable for mains-fed urinal flushing systems?

How does a direct flush urinal work?

Direct flush urinals don’t feature cisterns. Instead, they are connected directly to a mains water feed and will flush after use. The range of mains supply urinals we stock here at Commercial Washrooms flush via a rim on the urinal or feature a sensor operating system.

They will usually be mounted to a wall or IPS panel, with the water inlet and waste trap being concealed. 

How much is a direct flush urinal?

How much direct flush urinal costs will vary depending on several factors, such as the appliance's model and its features. Here at Commercial Washrooms, we currently stock cistern-less urinals for just £420.00, including VAT.

What are the benefits of direct flush urinals?

There are several reasons why you may consider installing direct flush urinals in your washroom, including: 

• They’re space-efficient as they don't require a cistern.

• They’re less likely to be vandalised as they conceal the water inlet pipe and waste trap.

• Many traditional urinals will flush at once after water levels have been reached, but individually controlled urinal control systems help to save water. This Sphero Maxi direct flush urinal by Armitage Shanks uses smart sensor technology, making it a great water-saving option.

• They’re more modern and aesthetic, as there isn’t a cistern.

• They're easy to clean and maintain Without the need for a cistern and with their simple design.
