[Greenbuilding] 1/4 gallon per flush toilet (Mini Flush GBG 300)

[Reuben Deumling]

More and better info on what turns out to be a Swedish 1-quart flush toilet:

If you go to the right tab labeled "downloads" you'll find
(a) delightfully detailed drawings of how it is installed (what components
are involved) &
(b) official form that looks like a Swedish version of our MSDS, incl ISO
9000 & 14000 certifications.

Note also that this model uses a seal much like Microphor does on its vacuum
toilets instead of a water trap. I think the hook up to US plumbing is
possible though perhaps not easy. The specs call for 2- 45s immediately
beneath the toilet, which sounds to me like a long sweep 90.(?) More to be
learned.

Berger in Hamburg, Germany ships worldwide and 12 of these fit on a pallet.
