Prison toilets
Prison-combi-unit, WC-wash basin combination, stainless steel, surface satin finished, material thickness 2.0 mm, all welded construction, mounting to the wall via side access panel, with integrated toilet roll holder, incl. pipe work from wash basin and WC, incl. self closing manual push buttons for the water to the wash basin and WC, WC is approved to EN 997 for 6 liter flushing performance.
Gravity Fed
The most common type of toilet is a gravity-fed model, which relies on the weight of the water and head pressure to promote the flush. If you see free-standing water when peering down into the tank, your toilet is gravity fed. Dual-flush toilets are one type of gravity-fed toilet. Dual-flush toilets let users choose from one of two flush options depending on need: Users can push one button for a regular 1.6-gpf flush, or they can push another for a reduced flush using about 0.9 gallons of water.

Dual Flush
Dual-flush toilets give users two flush options: Tilt the handle up for liquid waste, which uses about 1.1 gallon per flush. Or push the handle down for a standard flush, which typically releases 1.6 gallons of water. Dual-flush toilets that have 1.6- and 1.1-gpf flush options meet HET criteria of averaging 1.28 gallons per flush or less (HET criteria for dual-flush toilets identifies the effective flush volume as the average of one high flush and two low flushes).

Security
Accessible cells do not compromise the security of prison personnel. In fact, having accessible cells increases security because they allow inmates with mobility disabilities to function independently, minimizing the need for assistance from guards.

Basic Features
Inmates with disabilities - including those who use wheelchairs - need to be able to enter their cells and move around inside them, using the cells’ features without assistance. What makes this possible? Careful planning and design will incorporate elements such as a wider entrance door, adequate clear floor space, appropriate placement and models of fixtures and furniture, and grab bars.

Location or Dispersion of Cells
Dispersing accessible cells throughout a facility ensures that inmates with disabilities are able to be housed with inmates of the same classification levels. Generally, inmates with disabilities who are not ill do not need to be housed in a medical ward.

Furniture and Cell Features
Accessible cells need to contain the same features as other cells for inmates housed at the same classification level. For instance, where other cells contain writing desks, accessible writing desks are needed in accessible cells.

Drawing Notes:
1. Accessible toilet with rear and side grab bars, clear floor space for wheelchair transfer, and an accessible flush valve.
2. Accessible lavatory with knee and toe space below, faucet controls usable with a loosely closed fist, clear floor space for front approach, and lowered mirror.
3. Doors with 32 inches of clear opening width (when a sliding door is fully opened or a hinged door is open 90 degrees). Clear floor space is required in front of the door.
4. Desk with knee and toe space and clear floor space for front approach.
5. Bed with clear floor space for a side approach next to bed.

Appropriate clear floor space (shown by dashed lines) is needed adjacent to each cell feature. As shown in this drawing, the clear floor spaces for each element may overlap. Inmates with a mobility disability should be able to use, and move without obstruction among, the easily accessible features of their cells. There needs to be adequate turning space within the cell -- either a 60-inch-diameter circle or a T-shaped turn area.
