Ok guys, I need your imagination. For some silly reason, I'd like to put a working urinal in my shop. I thought maybe I could find some unusual art deco looking old urinal, but I haven't had much luck. So... How about some other ideas? Come on Dodo, you usually come up with some off the wall stuff ??

There is a seller in Portland..**architectural.. something like that. He sells a lot of building decor and related items including gas pumps sigms, streetlights, poles that sort of stuff.
I will see if I can remember the name, or another member might know it.

Check building wrecker, recyclers, they get that stuff occasionally (ask about wall sconces too).

That is a good idea, saves a lot of water...

Dont know wether to laugh or cry @ I was looking for a urinal & I thought of d0d0)..LOL...

You want to do what? Put a urinal inside a gas pump? Crank the turnback handle to flush it? Have the globe light up when your done? Set the nozzle in front and have---------- Am I reading your idea right?

Actually you have to hit the target to get the globe to light !!!
Globe should read filler up!

I think that if you used a wall mount urinal you could use two sides and the top part of the door and ad glass from a Wayne 70, tall Tok 39 or Bennett to surround the urinal. Even if you had to cut the sides down some to get closer to the wall. Could keep the computer or at least a face and the glass (make it plexi or tempered to avoid shearing off parts in the event that you are banging your head against the wall, er door).

Like the idea of the re-set crank doing the flush. Could use a light beam sensor to activate the globe and ad glass lights.

Great use for a parts pump.

What about brands??

was thinking,use something with an easy door(mabye magnet with handle)keep urinal inside(with gaskets,help with odor)a urinal with a lever would be easy to make crank pull the lever(if you have water)or mount a porta potty,as in my boat)and empty and clean once in awhile.or motion senser flush when you move or close door.like the light up idea,ring a bell to?

You know that Firestone pump like a Wayne 60 on steroids but squashed?? I wood use one of them sideways, but WHY do you guys insist on cutting the pump to fit shorter to the wall, eh???

There is a neat brewpub that I occasionally visit & they use a Budweiser keg for the urinal. Keep those cards & letters coming! Personally, I kinda like watering the plants!!!!!
