Pi-Pi Urinals Questions and Answers

We use LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene) for Pi-Pi urinals and portable toilet urinals due to its high impact resistance and flexibility in cold climates.

Key advantages of LLDPE:

• Cold weather performance: remains flexible down to −50°C, whereas HDPE becomes brittle
• Impact resistance: better absorbs shocks during transportation, installation, and use of Pi-Pi urinals
• Crack resistance: better withstands mechanical stress and exposure to cleaning agents

Trade-offs: HDPE has higher chemical and UV resistance. However, for temporary mobile installations in the European climate, the flexibility and impact resistance of LLDPE are prioritized for Pi-Pi urinals.

LLDPE and PP are designed for different operating conditions. PP is more rigid and heat-resistant, but LLDPE is optimal for Pi-Pi urinals and portable toilet urinals in cold climates.

Advantages of LLDPE:

• Cold weather performance: LLDPE remains flexible down to −50°C, whereas PP becomes brittle at 0…−20°C
• Impact resistance: LLDPE bends and recovers its shape, PP may crack upon impact
• Cost-effectiveness: LLDPE reduces costs without compromising the operational reliability of Pi-Pi urinals

When PP is preferable: high-temperature sterilization and stationary indoor installations in warm climates. For Pi-Pi urinals and portable toilet urinals, LLDPE offers superior characteristics.

We use rotational molding for the production of portable toilet urinals and Pi-Pi urinals due to its technical advantages:

• Seamless construction: monolithic product without welds — no weak points or areas for bacteria accumulation
• Uniform wall thickness: 4–5 mm throughout, including corners and edges
• Minimal residual stresses: high dimensional stability without deformation over time
• Enhanced impact resistance: homogeneous material structure increases resistance to impacts and drops

Standard and Standard Plus are two modifications of Pi-Pi urinals and portable toilets: Standard is fully waterless, Standard Plus has a top inlet Ø70 mm for ventilation or water.

• Standard: closed top, fully waterless design of Pi-Pi urinals
• Standard Plus: top inlet Ø70 mm for connecting ventilation or water supply to portable toilet urinals

Choose Standard Plus for Pi-Pi urinals if ventilation duct or water supply connection is required.

Our urinal basins for portable toilets and welfare units use a stepped outlet of Ø24 / Ø32 / Ø40 mm, compatible with standard European drainage pipes, which makes connection to existing systems straightforward.

Pi-Pi urinals made from industrial LLDPE are designed for operation in the range of −50°C to +60°C, ensuring year-round outdoor use in any EU climate. Our Pi-Pi urinals and portable toilet urinals reliably operate in all European weather conditions.

Urinal basins for portable toilets made from LLDPE have high chemical resistance and are compatible with most standard sanitary cleaning products. Our products are designed to withstand standard cleaning protocols.

Recommended:

• quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs)
• diluted acids (citric acid, vinegar, HCl <10%)
• diluted alkalis (NaOH <20%, ammonia)
• hydrogen peroxide (<30%)
• alcohols (isopropanol 70%, ethanol)
• standard detergents and soap cleaners

Use with caution:

• concentrated bleaches (>10%)
• organic solvents (acetone, toluene — rinse immediately)

Prohibited:

• concentrated acids (>30% HCl, sulfuric acid)
• strong solvents (gasoline, kerosene, paint thinners)

Recommendation: use standard sanitary products at recommended concentrations. Our urinals are compatible with ~95% of commercial cleaning agents.

The average installation time for Pi-Pi urinals is 15–30 minutes per unit when performed by a qualified installer. Our urinals for site cabins are designed for quick deployment.

Installation process:

• Wall mounting: 2–4 screws/bolts into the wall or concrete (fasteners not included)
• Drain connection: stepped outlet Ø24/32/40 mm connects to existing sewage pipe using a standard rubber adapter or connector
• Trap: installation of a waterless trap is recommended for odor control
• Waterless design: no connection to water supply required

For field sites: mobile installation of Pi-Pi urinals is possible without permanent fixing — placement on the floor or in a mobile cabin with connection to a holding tank or existing sewage.

Full installation instructions for Pi-Pi urinals (PDF) are available on each product page.

Pi-Pi and Agande are two European manufacturers of Pi-Pi urinals and rental cabins, but they use different materials and have different lifecycle economics.

• Material: Pi-Pi uses LLDPE (frost resistance down to −50°C, impact elasticity). Agande uses polypropylene (PP), which tends to crack under impact below −10°C.
• Lifespan: LLDPE Pi-Pi lasts 7–10 years in rental use. PP averages 3–5 years in outdoor settings.
• Cabin compatibility: Pi-Pi features a stepped connector Ø24/32/40 mm (fits any cabin without adapters). Agande typically has a single diameter.
• Odor management: Pi-Pi Standard Plus has a Ø70 mm port for ventilation; Agande lacks ventilation connection.
• B2B terms: Pi-Pi offers volume pricing from 10 units, OEM production, and framework agreements.

Complete comparison of features and TCO calculation for rental fleets is available on the Pi-Pi vs Agande page.

Industry standards for urinals in toilet cabins on sites (OSHA/EU norms):

• 1–15 workers: 1 urinal
• 16–35 workers: 2 urinals
• 36–55 workers: 3 urinals
• 56–80 workers: 4 urinals
• 81–110 workers: 5 urinals
• 111–150 workers: 6 urinals

For sites with 200+ workers, the ratio becomes 1 urinal per 40 people. Add handwashing sinks (1 for every 2–3 urinals).

Example: A site with 50 people requires a minimum of 3 urinals. For projects lasting 8–12 months, budget for 1–2 spare units for rotation during maintenance.

For portable toilet rental companies serving events and festivals, construction site urinals and standalone urinal units are a valuable addition that reduces queues and improves customer satisfaction:

Event sanitation standards:

• Festivals and sports events: 1 urinal per 40 men (minimum 3 units)
• Corporate events: 1 urinal per 50 men (minimum 2 units)
• With alcohol present: add 20% to the calculated quantity
• Multi-day festivals: add 20% for nighttime events

A minimum of 2-3 units ensures no queues and a reserve during maintenance.

Benefits for rental operators:

• Urinals serve 4-5 times more users per hour than toilet cabins — fewer complaints about queues
• Lower maintenance costs — waterless operation requires less frequent tank emptying
• Premium pricing — organizers pay more for enhanced sanitation solutions
• Compact storage — lightweight units are easy to store between events

Example: A concert with 2000 attendees (50/50 gender split, 6 hours, with alcohol) requires approximately 30 urinals. Place units near stages, bars, and high-traffic areas.

Yes. Pi-Pi operates without a connection to water supply and sewage, making it suitable for holiday plots, garden houses, and other structures without centralized plumbing across Europe.

Technical setup:

• waterless design — no flushing required
• step drainage Ø24/32/40 mm directed into a canister, storage tank, or composting reservoir on the plot
• urine is collected separately and used as fertilizer diluted 1:10 or removed from the site

Compliance with national regulations. European plumbing rules in non-sewered areas vary in form but agree on one point: direct discharge of liquid waste into the ground is prohibited. Pi-Pi collects urine in a sealed container, thus meeting requirements, including:

• Germany — § 3 Abs. 2 BKleingG (Kleingarten / Schrebergarten)
• Austria — federal states' building codes
• Netherlands — regulations for volkstuinen
• United Kingdom — Allotments Act
• Scandinavia — koloniträdgård / kolonihave regulations
• other EU countries — similar local rules

Pi-Pi is also compatible with separate collection composting toilets (Trelino, BOXIO, Kildwick). Specific local regulation quotes and installation instructions are available upon request via the contact form.

A single Pi-Pi urinal withstands 300–500+ full rental cycles depending on operating conditions. This corresponds to 7–10 years of commercial use in a rental fleet.

Factors determining lifespan:

• storage conditions between rentals (outdoor vs warehouse) — UV exposure affects surface degradation rate
• cleaning protocols — concentrated chlorine disinfectants accelerate surface aging; neutral agents and pH 9–11 extend lifespan
• transport stress — LLDPE in Pi-Pi bends without cracking, but repeated impacts during loading still reduce lifespan
• winter outdoor storage — LLDPE remains flexible at −50°C, but full freeze/thaw cycles with residual water increase wear on the stepped outlet connector

For comparison: a typical polypropylene urinal withstands 100–200 cycles and averages 3–5 years in a rental fleet. More on TCO calculation for rental businesses can be found in the FAQ “Rental Urinals ROI”.

Pi-Pi urinals require minimal maintenance. Our site urinals are designed for easy cleaning and durability.

Daily / After each use (in high-traffic areas):

1. rinse with water to remove residues
2. apply standard disinfectant or diluted bleach (5%)
3. wipe surfaces with a non-abrasive cloth or sponge
4. rinse with clean water

Weekly deep cleaning:

1. remove debris from the drain and trap
2. clean with an alkaline (pH 9–11) or enzymatic cleaner
3. clean all surfaces, including the drain area
4. rinse thoroughly and allow to dry

Recommended:

• use soft brushes or non-abrasive sponges
• rinse thoroughly after cleaning
• check the drain for blockages weekly

Not recommended:

• use abrasive materials (steel wool, scouring powders)
• use strong solvents (acetone, paint thinners)
• leave concentrated bleach (>10%) on surfaces for extended periods

Our Pi-Pi urinals require minimal maintenance. With proper use, no component replacement is needed for 7–10 years of continuous outdoor use.

Yes. Pi-Pi urinals are designed for year-round use in the European climate (from −50°C to +60°C). Our Pi-Pi urinals and portable toilet urinals can be stored outdoors in winter.

Winter storage recommendations for portable toilet urinals:

• Completely drain water: remove water from the siphon and drainage of urinals to prevent freeze damage
• Storage convenience: lightweight Pi-Pi urinals are easy to move and stack
• Covering — optional: our portable toilet urinals are resistant to UV degradation, but a tarp will protect against dirt
• Heating not required: absence of water in urinals eliminates the risk of freeze damage

For rental companies: portable toilet urinals are ideal for seasonal businesses (festivals, construction sites) as off-season storage is simple and does not require chemical treatments or heated facilities for portable toilet urinals.

Minor damage to Pi-Pi urinals (scratches, scuffs):

Cosmetic defects on Pi-Pi urinals can be fixed with light sanding using fine-grit sandpaper (grit 400–600). This does not affect the functionality of the urinals for portable toilets.

Cracks and splits in urinals for portable toilets:

Our Pi-Pi urinals can be repaired using plastic welding (hot air + LLDPE rod, 250–300°C). The cost of professional repair depends on the region — please check with local plastic welding workshops.

When repair of Pi-Pi urinals is not recommended:

• cracks near the mounting points of the urinals or in high-stress areas
• damage over a large area (crack longer than 10 cm in the urinal for portable toilets) — replacement is more economically feasible
• multiple cracks indicating material fatigue of the urinals

Prevention: thanks to the flexibility of the material, most impacts do not result in cracks in Pi-Pi urinals. Main causes of damage to urinals for portable toilets:

• use of inappropriate cleaning agents on the urinals
• UV degradation after 7+ years of intensive outdoor use
• mechanical damage during improper transportation or storage of the urinals
