Project Overview
Hornsby Hospital is a public hospital serving Sydney’s Upper North Shore and surrounding communities. GENTEC supplied a selection of healthcare sanitaryware and tapware to support the functional requirements of the hospital environment.
Project Requirements
The product selection needed to address key requirements across clinical handwashing and general sink applications, including:
• Clinical basin design to support effective drainage and cleanability.
• Tapware suited to different installation and usage requirements.
• Water-efficient fittings to support responsible water consumption.
• Durable, practical products for everyday use in a healthcare environmen
GENTEC Solution
GENTEC supplied STERISAN® Type A clinical basins, CLEANLINE wall-mounted mixing sets and NUGEN sink mixers.
The STERISAN® Type A clinical basin features a no-overflow design and a rear offset waste. The offset waste positions the drain away from the direct water stream, helping minimise water impact into the outlet and conditions that may contribute to splash and aerosol generation. The sloped bowl surfaces support effective drainage towards the rear waste outlet.
The tapware selection included CLEANLINE 150 mm wall-mounted exposed mixing sets with curved spouts and NUGEN low-line sink mixers with disabled handles. The specified fittings offer water-efficient flow rates, with the NUGEN mixer’s disabled handle providing an option suited to applications requiring accessible operation.
