Multi-Occupant or Single Occupant

I assume guys prefer a urinal for that part of their business than a toilet? (I'm asking here). It's a single user facility no partition required (other issues, possibly).. I believe the IPC still has a big trade off for fixtures in the men's room (less toilets, more urinals)..

Inspecting a residential remodel ...... I noticed a toilet that had an elongation that was longer than I had seen before or since. It looked like it might be for a hospital. I asked the owner about it and he said that he has six boys, from 1 to 12 years old.

Myself, I prefer a urinal filled with ice. Notice that it's not capitol letters.
 
TMI.. but usually the overly elongated things you generally see are female urinals... still haven't figured those out.
 
Is it a single-user or multi-user restroom? What is the approved occupant load for this restroom? :rolleyes:

I would not have a problem with a urinal and a water closet for the men. There could be a problem if they are using the urinal to meet the required fixture count while the room is only a single user restroom.

IMO, I'd call it a single user restroom.
