I mean, everybody wins. Men would no longer have to wipe their piss off the toilet seat and women would no longer have to sit on a pissed-on toilet seat and start shit with the man who pissed on the toilet seat and forgot to wipe it off. And it wouldn't be much more expensive to include one right alongside the toilet, either. Nearly every store bathroom you visit all have urinals. So it's not like we don't know what urinals are, or how to manufacture and install them. So what gives?

2" trap. What did you fill the trap with? Also, how often did you use it?

Not mine.

Customer complaint was clog. I started with the standard "how long has it been since you cleaned it?" Didn't know. Fortunately, the stack already had been cut and had a connector on it, so I just removed that and snaked it. Hair clogs where the trap and extension met the stack, of course.

Drain was still slow, so I tried to remove the trap for examination. Apparently one of those "tub re-fit" places had done this one in the past, and they use Schedule 40 glue-together instead of compression fit shit like I prefer because you can actually take it apart and clean it. So I poked at what I could get at first, there was caked-on yellowish gunk all over the inlet to the drain, and it flaked off like you get when you boil waiter away a lot.

Standard test for me is to put some in bleach, you get chloramine and yeah, it's caked urea. I was able to force a snake down through it finally and got it to drain well enough, snake came back with a mixture of sludge and this caked urea crap. Nasty shit, smells like ass. As far as I know, they use it at least 2-3 times a day, multiple showers.

I've also had to phosphoric acid the watered urinals at my employer to get the build-up out of them. They don't give me a snake, so I use what I got.

There has to be more to it than that. A 7 minute shower puts 15 gallons of water down the drain. Was this a second shower that didn't get used except as a urinal?

No. The other bathroom in the house is a tub only, no shower.

I don't know the chemistry behind it save I've done more than one job where I've seen that type of mess. I only do plumbing work for people I know, if I wanted to do it professionally I wouldn't have gone into electronics where I can sit in an air conditioned office all day and play with blinkenlites.
