HI-SET ELEVATED ADJUSTABLE FIXTURE SUPPORTS

FACILITIES FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS
Facilities for Wheelchair Users
Industrial, commercial and government offices are utilizing the talents of the physically impaired. Design considerations for wheelchair users must be incorporated in modern buildings. Convenient entrance and exit must be assured. Inside the building, toilet facilities for wheelchair users are priority areas for special design.

Smith engineers, alert to these trends, have designed the HI-SET fixture support series so that fixtures for wheelchair users can be mounted without special design by the engineer or extra work by the plumbing contractor. Installation of raised water closets using conventional supports and fittings is normally very difficult.
Smith designs include:
Horizontal adjustable fittings with elevated inlet flange in left or right hand and double (back-to-back). This design permits the elevated water closet to be roughed at any position in the battery.

Special vertical adjustable fittings with hub inlet located so that elevated water closets can be installed directly on the stack without interfering with a battery of conventional height water closets.


Special extra-high base supports of the strong LINEBACKER® design to accommodate the high rough fixture.
The need for elevated water closets is not limited to wheelchair users only, or to commercial offices. The HI-SET elevated installation aids physically impaired persons in hospitals, institutions, nursing homes and homes for the aged.
SHALLOW ROUGH CONSTRUCTION FOR HI-SET FIXTURE SUPPORT
Illustrated (top) is a regular vertical inlet fitting (Fig. 0240RY) located at the stack with a new HI-SET horizontal fitting (Fig. 0115RY) located at the end of the battery. Illustrated (bottom) is a HI-SET vertical inlet fitting with lowered inlet hub (Fig. 0175RY) located at the stack in conjunction with regular horizontal fittings. (Fig. 0210RY).

NOTE:
ASME Standards indicate 17” to 19” seat height for a handicapped bowl. The 19” seat height can be obtained using a regular support system. Specify Suffix -M50 when ordering.
