My buddy just dropped off a urinal they demoed at work and I am going to plumb it in the garage so I don't have to walk all the way into the house. Any laws against a small gravel sump outside?

Well actually, when we built the house we put a door from the downstairs bath into the garage. It also makes a nice pass-through from the downstairs rooms in the back.

It's just more fun to step outside. :D

I did that one time in a previous house. Dug a pit, put in the gravel. Worked fine. After about a year, the smell in the yard was terrible. If you have a crawl space floor, consider installing on an inside garage wall and plumb into the sewer. Now, I have a deep sink with hot and cold water draining into the sewer. The girls have a hard time balancing on the edge, but no problem for me.

What ever you do be sure that you have plenty of ventilation. Piss and piss oder/vapors are highly corrosive. Any one who has served on a Navy ship will confirm. And don't have close enough to the bike or tools with out splash guards!!

I'd put it in a little closet. (water closet)

Even though it doesn't seem so, I've found that you never piss more than the amount of beer you drink. So, I just keep the empties close by. Even less effort than walking over to the corner or hanging it out the window. I also found that you can be real quiet about it late at night by sticking your big toe in the bottle and pissing down your leg.

itileman
05-05-2008, 08:38 PM
Be sure to seal the concrete under the pissoir.

Simplest install is to dig a hole about 50% deeper than a 2 gallon bucket (5 gal if you have friends or a large capacity bladder) directly behind the urinal. Put a 2" layer of lye at the bottom of the hole. Add a few inches of gravel. Punch holes in the bottom of the bucket, place in hole. Run the exit pipe to the center of the bucketand add a 90 degree bend. Cover with gravel. Decorate the surfaceedgeswith mint plants. Do not serve mint juleps to company.

I'll post a pic of the anti-freeze bottle install tomorrow.

Years ago when I did a lot of DX'ing on 20 Meters at my buddiesgarage, he has a flexible funnel running through the concrete wall to the outside. Just take out the plug do your business and put the plug back. Got a little rank in the summer but it did surve it purpose. Hell of a lot cheaper that a urinal. :eek:

I've had a urinal in my garage for several years. A lot a beer gets drank out there it was kind of a necessity;). There is a steep hill out behind the garage, I just piped it out and ran some drain tile and gravel down the hill. Can't smell a thing.

Many years ago in Denver, I had the ham shack in the garage and would go out the back door and pee on my ground rod. When I moved from that house and disconnected the ground, I found that the ground rod had corroded totally in two. I have no idea how long I had been without a ground. :)

I built a 30x40' shop about 100yds from the house. I live in the county. Dug a trench from the house to the shop and drilled a hole thru my basement wall, tapped into the waterline in the house and ran water to the shop. Next step was to put in a big double sink on the wall of the shop. next step was I got one of those faucets that you see on a farm or ranch that when you shut the water off it all drains out the bottom, well when I poured the concrete for the floor I stuck a coffee can where I wanted all the plumbing to go out of the shop and then installed that faucet thru the hole in the floor thru the hole in the sink where you would put faucets and then installed the stand up urinal next to the sink got one of these http://65.118.245.21/product/NelsonBrasHoseAdapter-N80C.jpg

and added a hose to that and stuck the other end of the hose in the top hole of the urinal and walla, lift the handle on the faucet to flush. Running out of the shop is a perforated pipe with gravel under the pipe and on top of the pipe. Works like a charm.

I have 2 buddies with them. One used a large funnel and used PVC pipe to route outside. The other stole one of the cool plastic ones out of a port-a-john and mounted in the corner. Both plumbed outside. Dig a ten foot trench out back preferably down wind. line the bottom with course gravel or limestone. Install a large perferated plastic drainage tile, bury it with more course stone then compact sand and replace the soil. The recycled hops and herbs will flow out and into the drainage tile and filter into mother earth. No smell, no foul. Dont forget the piss biscuit. Hopefully the one that says "Smile Shorty." I think the Red/Green show had an episode with this.

My brother is a plumber and got a urinal out of a school and I installed it in my shed. I run PVC outside and into a trench I dug then I drilled about 100 holes in a 3 ft piece of PVC covered it withgravel and then with dirt and grass. Had it for over two years comes in very handy and no odors either.

I dunno what the "law" states, but a urinal in a garage sounds like a sweet set up.

I currently live in a sub-division. Store the bike in a small shed. I have to shut the shed dorr and piss in a Tim Hortons' (I'm Canadian) coffee cup, then dump it out in the grass, so no one see's my pecker.

So ya ... a urinal sounds like a sweet deal.

The really funny thing is:

Two days ago, I am showing my lovely bride the plans to my new garage. She says, "What's that?"
"It is the floor length urinal honey, also doubles as the floor drain when I spray out the garage."
She rolled her eyes and sighed....

She and I just read thru the whole thread together and laffed our a$$es off. At least now she knows that I am not the only one :D

I used 3/4" pvc (should've used 1"). At the top where you pee in, I went from 3/4" to 3". Run it through the wall outside, dug a hole, added 3/4" crushed rock, run the pvc down, buried it and peed. I keep a couple gallon jugs of water to flush and every once-in-a-while when it starts to smell, I dump some bleach (a couple cups) down it. Works great!

We just finished building our 'retirement' home in Arizona.It hasa 1250 sqft Garage that is heated and air conditioned. I designed a 1/2 bath with a urinal, but the plumber talked me out of it, put in a toilet and small shower instead. Air, water, and electric on pull-downs from the ceiling, floor drains, TV and Stereo built in. I can play out there day and night, tinkering till my butt falls off. This old age thing ain't bad!

it was just a joke. i live rural too but not really. more like resort. anyway, the urinal is done and works great. neighbor rides a chair and he is already got astorage of catheters up on the shelf by the pisser. glad it is more convenient for him. rolling home (downhill and back) is probably a bitch when you're buzzed. he's a good guy. got shot in the spine. but, truthfully, i put the urinal in so all my buds don't piss all over the placearound the garage, me too!
