The Steward Waterless Urinal offers many benefits over standard fixtures: it is easily installed by a plumbing professional, incorporates water-saving features without sacrificing performance, is virtually splashless, inhibits odors and is easy to keep clean. Its soft elliptical shape provides a fresh, sleek look not found in traditional urinals. Kohler developed a liquid trap, using a sealing liquid that is less dense than liquid waste, to block odors. Retrofit installations of the Steward Waterless Urinal are also easy. A universal mounting bracket will fit onto most existing urinal collars, and rough-in changes to the waste pipe are generally not required. In addition, its large, clean footprint minimizes the need for aesthetic changes, such as tiling and painting.
