and potential rust conditions, it is recommended that only noncorrosive
materials be used in toilet compartments. Recommendation includes plastic
laminate covering for wood core doors, division panels and urinal screens.
Cast alloy, nonferrous chrome-plated hardware with stainless steel floor and
ceiling panel fittings are also recommended.
Phenolics. An acceptable alternate to plastic laminate-covered
10.5.2
doors and partitions is a plastic covered solid plastic phenolic resin core
for compartment divisions. This material is waterproof, steam-proof,
rustproof and corrosion free. Galvanized steel with a bonderized enamel
finish is not recommended, especially for urinal screens.
10.6
Toilet Room Accessories. For toilet and washroom equipment,
construct all units from stainless steel, with all stainless steel moving
parts, welded connections where required and with concealed mountings for
vandal-proof installation. Where color is included as a requirement, specify
vinyl vacuum bonded to stainless steel only, as cold-rolled steel will corrode
in the tropical environment.
