ZeroFlush / American Standard ZF-KIT Replacement Odor Barrier Liquid (1 Gallon Bottle) — Restore the Seal Layer That Helps Block Odors in Waterless Urinals
Waterless Urinal Consumable 1 Gallon (128 oz) Odor-Control Seal Layer Facilities / High-Traffic Restrooms PM Program Friendly
Overview

Waterless urinals depend on a controlled drain-side system that helps prevent sewer gas odors from traveling back into the restroom. The ZeroFlush / American Standard ZF-KIT Replacement Odor Barrier Liquid is the seal-layer consumable used in many waterless urinal programs to support consistent odor control between service events.

This 1-gallon bottle is ideal for facilities teams maintaining multiple fixtures, multiple restrooms, or high-traffic sites where predictable maintenance is essential for user satisfaction and uptime.

Why this liquid matters in waterless urinal maintenance
  • Odor control is a systems issue: In most buildings, “waterless urinal odor” is usually a maintenance-cycle problem (overdue service, wrong chemistry, or missing seal layer), not a fixture problem.
  • Protects restroom uptime: Consistent seal-layer maintenance helps reduce complaints, emergency tickets, and restroom closures.
  • Supports water-savings programs: Facilities only realize the full benefit of waterless urinals when the maintenance program is standardized, documented, and repeatable.
  • Improves PM planning: Bulk format supports standardized stocking and reduces last-minute purchasing.
Typical use cases
  • Scheduled preventative maintenance (PM) for ZeroFlush / American Standard waterless urinal installations
  • Restroom refresh ahead of high-traffic periods (events, seasonal spikes, shift changes)
  • Corrective service when odor indicates the seal layer and/or service components are due for replacement

Water savings context (how facilities justify waterless urinals)

Waterless urinals eliminate routine flush water. Savings scale directly with restroom traffic, and many facilities also see savings in sewer charges.

Planning math (per urinal): (Old gallons-per-flush) × (Uses/day) × 365 = annual gallons avoided.

ZeroFlush marketing commonly cites large per-fixture savings; actual results depend on the replaced fixture’s gpf and real-world usage. Your PM plan (including seal-layer consumables) is what keeps those savings stable and the restroom experience consistent.

Safety and handling (important)
  • Read the SDS before use. Even “natural” oils can be irritants and require standard PPE handling practices.
  • Avoid slip hazards: clean spills immediately and dispose of absorbent material per your facility procedures.
  • Storage: keep closed, store per SDS guidance, and use FIFO inventory practices.

Why waterless urinals are popular (and why they still require a consumables plan)

Businesses choose waterless urinals for one reason that everyone understands: they stop using flush water. In a high-traffic building, that can translate into meaningful reductions in water and sewer charges. But the best-run facilities also choose waterless urinals for a second reason: they reduce mechanical failure points (flush valves, sensors, batteries, and water-supply issues).

The tradeoff is simple: instead of maintaining flush hardware, you maintain a drain-side odor-control system. That is where Odor Barrier Liquid becomes a required, planned consumable.

How odor barrier liquid works (plain-language explanation)

Many waterless urinal designs use a replaceable insert/trap and/or a liquid sealant layer that floats to help prevent sewer gases from traveling up the drain line and into the room. Odor barrier liquid is that seal layer.

When the seal layer is depleted, contaminated, or stripped by the wrong cleaning approach, odor complaints are often the first signal that the system is overdue for service.

What facilities teams measure (water savings + ROI)

Annual water avoided (per fixture):
(Old gallons-per-flush) × (Uses/day) × 365 = gallons avoided per year

Example: replacing a 1.0 gpf urinal at 75 uses/day avoids ~27,375 gallons/year per fixture. Older, higher-gpf fixtures increase savings further.

The strongest programs treat odor barrier liquid and inserts as planned PM consumables. That makes the ROI easy to defend because restroom performance stays stable and service calls become predictable instead of reactive.

The three most common causes of “waterless urinal odor”
  • Overdue service interval: the seal layer and/or insert is past its useful cycle for that traffic level.
  • Wrong cleaning approach: harsh chemistry or incorrect procedures can degrade performance and accelerate service needs.
  • No documentation: if you cannot prove when parts were replaced, the program will drift and become reactive.
Safety note: “natural” does not mean “no precautions”

Odor barrier liquids are often vegetable-oil based, but facilities teams should still follow SDS guidance. Standard best practice: avoid skin/eye contact, keep containers closed, and treat spills like an oil spill (clean immediately to prevent slip hazards).

Always align site procedures with your EHS program and the SDS for the exact product in use.

  • Consolidate vendors: many customers source facility consumables and critical supplies from SOSCleanroom to reduce administrative friction.
FAQ (fast answers)

Q: Do waterless urinals eliminate maintenance?
A: No. They shift maintenance from flush hardware to drain-side consumables and cleaning discipline.

Q: What should we stock?
A: Most programs stock odor barrier liquid plus inserts/cartridges (and the correct tools) to prevent downtime.

Q: How do we choose a replacement interval?
A: Base it on traffic: group restrooms by usage and set a documented service cadence, then adjust based on site experience.
