Due to the degree of difficulty of including plumbing utilities within these spaces, it has been decided to use a portable toilet within a private room. What 6 digit specification section would one include this type of product? Thanks Ron ken hercenberg Senior Member Username: khercenberg Post Number: 183 Registered: 12-2006 Posted on Thursday, April 05, 2012 - 09:31 am:    Normally I would just list them in 01 5219 Sanitary Facilities, but that is really for temporary facilities used during construction.

So it's a piece of equipment; that puts it in Division 11. Would it fit in the 11 3000 Residential Equipment category? (11 3600 or something like that?)

Leave a space for it, and let the owner get it under a separate service contract. Ronald J.

It lacks a plumbing connection and is portable. Lynn, it is like what is used for camping and boats. So I guess it is equipment and not a plumbing fixture. If that is the case, Division 11 makes sense. However, I would not consider it residential equipment. Maybe under “Other Equipment” as 119900 - Poop Equipment Lynn Javoroski FCSI CCS LEED® AP SCIP Affiliate Senior Member Username: lynn_javoroski Post Number: 1430 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Thursday, April 05, 2012 - 05:09 pm:    Well, I was looking at Solid Waste Disposal Equipment...maybe just "Waste Disposal"? Although the nautical theme could follow with the Poop Deck idea...

You might want to look at the toilet systems for boats and RV's which include a holding tank for "pump out".

Unfortunately, I cannot at present access MasterFormat's up-to-date section and numbers list--a foul up in their login system, I suspect.
