Avac’s vacuum plumbing solutions offer unique opportunities for the creation and redevelopment of healthcare facilities such as hospitals, outpatient surgical centres, clinics, medical offices, and laboratories.
Our designs help to minimise the spread of bacteria by controlling the vaporisation of toilet flushes and protecting against waste piping leaks.
Benefits
Reduced Water Use
Avac’s vacuum toilet uses as little as 0.7 litres of water per flush. This provides a significant savings in water use and sewer disposal costs and can contribute to “green building” stars.
Reduced Main Line Blockages
Creates a cleaner environment and reduces the health hazards associated with renovation in an open facility. The operational dynamics of a vacuum plumbing system prevent waste ex-filtration, ensuring that contaminants stay within the waste piping network. The system dynamics also benefit the facility by reducing main line blockages, resulting in lower maintenance cost and operational disruption.
Healthier Environment
The system contributes to a healthier, more sanitary environment, by eliminating the vaporisation of water from the toilet bowl during a flush. This minimises the spread of bacteria around the toilet fixture and within the facility.
Adaptable Design
Vacuum provides a solution for routing waste piping through congested, space restricted areas. Because vacuum waste piping can be installed overhead and easily routed around existing mechanical, electrical or structural elements, it facilitates the relocation of plumbing fixtures and equipment without impacting floors below, and without concern for coordination with existing waste piping.
