AI picks by need
For ultra-low flow
Kohler Bardon (line)
Bardon is Kohler's high-efficiency washout urinal line aimed at very low flush volumes.

For waterless
Falcon Waterfree (brand)

Not for: Restrooms without staff to change cartridges and follow cleaning rules.
What the AI looks for in Urinals
- Flush rating
- Choose 0.125, 0.5 or 1.0 gpf and buy the matching valve. Local codes and water goals often dictate the volume.
- Accessible mounting
- Under ADA 2010 standards, an accessible urinal rim sits no more than 17 inches above the floor and is elongated at least 13.5 inches from the wall. This is required where accessibility rules apply.
- Spud location
- Top spud for exposed valves; check the fixture's version against your supply rough-in. Moving the supply after the fact is costly.
- Mounting support
- A wall-hung urinal needs a carrier or solid blocking plus hanger brackets. Drywall alone cannot carry the load.
Brands that matter
- American Standard: Washbrook and other commercial-standard urinals.
- Kohler: Low-flow and residential-friendly lines.
- Zurn: Flushing and waterless urinals.
- Sloan: Urinals sold alongside its own flushometers.
- Waterless Co.: Specialist in no-water urinals.
What to avoid
- Buying a urinal without confirming the matching valve and spud orientation.
- Waterless urinals in buildings with old drain lines that are prone to buildup, unless the drains are checked.
Questions
Does a urinal come with the flush valve?
Usually not; most urinals are sold as the fixture only and need a separately purchased flushometer.
