What are automatic urinal sensors?
Automatic urinal sensors are touchless infrared devices mounted on or inside a urinal. They detect when a user approaches and then automatically flush after the user leaves. This prevents manual contact with flush handles and significantly improves washroom hygiene.
Are urinal sensors hygienic?
Yes. All Askon urinal sensors are fully touchless and sensor-operated. The infrared sensor detects user presence and triggers an automatic flush after use — eliminating any need to touch flush handles and reducing cross-contamination dramatically in commercial washrooms.
What types of urinal sensors does Askon manufacture?
Askon manufactures both wall-mounted (surface-type) and concealed-type urinal sensors. Surface-mounted sensors are easy to retrofit on existing urinals, while concealed types are ideal for new installations where a clean, seamless look is preferred.
How much water do automatic urinal sensors save?
Automatic urinal sensors flush only after actual use, unlike timed systems that flush regardless of whether the urinal was used. This targeted flushing can reduce water consumption by 30–50% in commercial washrooms — delivering significant cost savings on water bills.
How do urinal sensors work?
An infrared sensor continuously monitors the urinal zone. When a person steps in front, the sensor registers presence. After the person moves away, the sensor triggers the solenoid valve to open, releasing a pre-set quantity of water to flush the urinal. The entire cycle is automatic and touchless.
Do Askon urinal sensors work during power failures?
Askon urinal sensors are available in both AC-powered and battery-operated configurations. Battery-operated models ensure continued automatic flushing even during power outages — making them ideal for critical commercial washroom environments.
What is the installation process for urinal sensors?
Surface-mounted sensors can be retrofitted onto most existing urinals with minimal plumbing changes. Concealed sensors require minor in-wall installation. Our team or your plumber can complete the installation with the detailed instructions provided. We also offer installation support across India.

Which type of urinal sensor should I choose — concealed or wall-mounted?
Choose wall-mounted if you are retrofitting existing urinals and want a quick, easy installation. Choose concealed if you are doing a new build or full washroom renovation where a clean, built-in look is preferred. Both types offer the same touchless, automatic flushing functionality.
