Design Considerations
===Design Considerations===
'''It is important that the two sections of the toilet are well separated to ensure that:
a) faeces do not fall into and clog the urine collection area in the front, and that
b) urine does not splash down into the dry area of the toilet.'''
There are also 3-hole separating toilets that allow anal cleansing water to go into a third, dedicated basin separate from the urine drain and faeces collection. Both a pedestal and a squat slab can be used to separate urine from faeces depending on user preference. Urine tends to rust most metals; therefore, metals should be avoided in the construction and piping of the UDDT. To limit scaling, all connections (pipes) to storage tanks should be kept as short as possible; whenever they exist, pipes should be installed with at least a 1% slope, and sharp angles (90°) should be avoided. A pipe diameter of 50 mm is sufficient for steep slopes and where maintenance is easy. Larger diameter pipes (> 75
- Special child seats have to be provided to keep their urine and faeces separate.
