Portable urinal
Also called: urinal unit, urinal station
A portable urinal is a freestanding multi-user unit or an in-unit fixture that speeds up throughput for male users and reduces load on the toilet seats. OSHA counts a urinal as one fixture in the construction ratio.
At festivals and races, freestanding four-position urinals cut queue length at a fraction of the cost of the same number of toilets. Most standard units include an in-unit urinal; deluxe units often do not, to leave room for the sink.
