Key Features of Sanitary Unit
1. Layout and Functional Design of Sanitary Unit
Each sanitary unit includes a toilet, sink, shower, mirror, lighting, ventilation, and drainage system—integrated within a single cabin. The ergonomic layout maximizes space usage while ensuring easy access and privacy for crew or passengers.
2. Construction and Materials
Manufacturers use GRP (glass-reinforced plastic), stainless steel, and moisture-resistant panels for the enclosure. These materials resist corrosion, mold, and wear from frequent use in humid and salt-rich marine conditions.
3. Plumbing and Drainage Integration of Sanitary Unit
Sanitary units connect directly to the ship’s fresh water and grey/black water systems. Efficient drainage, pressure-regulated taps, and vacuum or marine toilets ensure minimal water usage and reliable waste disposal.
4. Electrical and Ventilation Setup
The unit comes pre-wired for LED lighting, exhaust fans, and optional heating elements. These features enhance comfort, reduce humidity buildup, and comply with marine electrical safety standards.
5. Hygiene and Maintenance Features
Non-slip flooring, seamless corners, and chemical-resistant surfaces simplify cleaning and reduce bacterial buildup. Quick-access panels make it easy to service plumbing, lighting, and ventilation components.
6. Installation and Mobility of Sanitary Unit
Sanitary units are delivered preassembled or in modular sections for quick installation. Their self-contained design allows flexible placement in cabins, crew quarters, or accommodation modules with minimal shipboard modification.
7. User Comfort and Accessibility
Fixtures are designed for ergonomic use in confined spaces. Anti-splash faucets, handrails, and soft-close toilet seats add comfort, while optional ADA-compliant variants support accessibility needs.
8. Compliance and Certifications
All sanitary units meet IMO sanitation codes and MARPOL Annex IV standards for waste handling. Units are certified by DNV, ABS, and Lloyd’s Register for installation in marine accommodation spaces.
