Been asked to price up a job in a local factory, they want me to replace the trough basin in the gents on the factory floor. Current one is 2.4m long and has 5 sets of pillar taps. They have 4 w.c.'s and a trough urinal about 2m. I would have thought the regs would require 1 basin (or section of trough basin) per sanitary item, but guessing the 2m urinal would warrant more than one basin. There's not usually more than 3 people in there at any time except at 07:55 and 16:05 when the room's at its busiest. So for 4 bogs and a 2m piss pot - how many basins are needed and what distance is needed between the taps? Cheers

I don't think there are hard and fast rules and if there are, they will have been made by a pen pusher, I'd ask a few shop floor workers how many sinks they need, they'll give you the best answer and they will be the first to moan if there's not enough, as for the tap distance, about 7 inch is the norm I think,

I was on a C&G water regulations course around 20 years ago were the tutor was going on about female urinals and showing us pictures of them. I'd never seen any then and still haven't now (in the end I put him down as being some kind of pervert)!
Sorry it's not an answer to the question but reading this thread unlocked him again from a corner of my brain!
Having enough to cope with peak demand times is probably a major factor in deciding how many is needed.
Tappy,
