Plaster Urinal

Plaster Urinal

Sewage sometimes bubbles up when the system is shut down, this also might have been a way of preventing that.

I was JUST going to ask why (would they take the time to plaster sinks & toilets)!

Very strange!

They did this to stop sewer gases. After the traps dry out there is nothing to stop gas from coming into the building.

Most places would never bother to deal with it,

I guess that could be one of the reasons why these places sometimes have fires, along with all of the papers and flamable items left behind

FREAKY DUDES!!!!! Maybe some freaky hospital guy went over to it when the hospital was down and plastered it. That is pretty freaky though. E-mail me at Bsfinn@AOL.com! If you send me crap I will report you, so dont!!!!!! Only if you are interested in what i am saying.

Just plugging the drain holes would be enough to prvent gas from coming back up the pipe. What's strange is that they chose to fill the entire fixture with plaster.

It also prevents anyone from using it. Your feet would get wet.

I have a photo of a sink in this building in a different bathroom that is also filled with plaster. I didn't notice it when I took the picture but there is no spigot on the faucet; there is instead something styled like a third knob. So not only did they take the time to plaster the plumbing, they replaced it decoratively! And even more strange: the soap is still in the soapdish. I'll post the photo later and re-comment with a URL.
