How many gallons does a urinal use during a flush cycle?

0.5 gallon
1 gallon
1.5 gallons
2 gallons

The correct answer is: 1 gallon

The typical flushing volume for modern urinals is designed to be efficient, with many using around 1 gallon per flush. This design helps conserve water while still adequately clearing waste. Older models may use more, but many jurisdictions have established standards pushing for low-volume fixtures to promote sustainability. The 1 gallon flush is a common standard for efficient urinals, making it the correct choice for this question. The other options, while they may represent various models or older technology, do not align with the common modern standard for water-efficient urinals. It's important to consider the impact of plumbing fixtures on water usage when working as a plumber, especially in relation to building codes and environmental sustainability efforts.
