Specification Data Sheet

Concealed services electronic basins are the flagship Wallgate basin solution for high-acuity mental health, forensic and custodial environments. All water and waste services are concealed through the wall and managed via the Wallgate WDC or NX water management system, creating a clean, normalised bathroom environment with no exposed plumbing, isolation valves or removable hardware visible or accessible to the user. Activation can be configured via piezo or infrared sensor depending on project requirements.


Wallgate Water Management Controls (WDC & NX)

Concealed services electronic basins form part of an integrated Wallgate water management system and cannot operate as standalone fixtures. WDC and NX controllers manage water delivery, run-times, anti-tamper logic and hygiene functions across connected fixtures.

Key functionality includes:

  • Programmable run-time per activation – typical 8 to 30 seconds, configurable per facility risk profile
  • Anti-flooding logic – automatic shutoff if a basin remains activated beyond a programmed maximum
  • Anti-tamper logic – frequency limits to prevent vandalism via repeated activation
  • Hygiene flush – programmable scheduled flushes for line disinfection
  • BMS-ready – outputs available for integration with building management systems
  • Multi-outlet management – single controller managing up to 4 outlets (NX 1-room) or 8 outlets (NX 2-room)

Controllers and solenoid packs are sold separately. Basin specifications must include the appropriate Wallgate controller and solenoid pack for a complete working installation. Galvin Engineering specification consultants can assist with selection.


The Wallgate concealed services solid surface electronic single infrared sensor basin combines maximum ligature resistant performance with hygienic hands-free operation for mental health, forensic, custodial and acute healthcare environments.

The integrated outlet removes separate tapware and associated ligature risks, while the one-piece moulded construction provides exceptional durability and vandal resistance. Single infrared sensor activation enables contact-free operation, supporting improved hygiene outcomes in clinical handwashing applications. Sensor activation communicates with the concealed Wallgate water management system to deliver a programmed water run-time.

The polycarbonate solid surface finish and warm-touch composite material provide a more refined and less institutional user experience than traditional stainless-steel alternatives.


Why Specify

  • Ligature resistant – one-piece moulded construction with no separate tapware, no exposed fixings, no hardware to remove or weaponise
  • Vandal resistant – polycarbonate solid surface composite, non-distorting and non-scratch
  • Shatterproof – solid surface absorbs impact without fracturing, removing shard and weapon risk
  • Normalised aesthetic – domestic basin profile and finish, designed to mimic a home-like environment rather than a custodial or clinical one, supporting patient dignity and recovery in mental health and aged care settings
  • Warm to touch – unlike stainless steel, solid surface composite does not retain the cold of the bathroom environment, which matters in cooler climates, unheated ensuites, and for users with tactile or sensory sensitivities
  • Also available with manual, or piezo (single or dual) activation
  • Concealed services – water and waste run through the wall, no exposed pipework, no isolation valves visible
  • Refurbishable in situ – surface can be sanded and re-polished on the wall, no replacement required
  • Rear-fixed installation – for solid wall installations

Applications

Specified across the highest-acuity high-risk environments where ligature resistance, vandal resistance and water management are all required:

  • Mental health acute and forensic inpatient bedrooms – including AusHFG B.1034 Adult Acute and the AusHFG mental health planning units
  • Custodial and corrections facilities – single-occupancy cells, holding rooms, observation rooms
  • NDIS SDA Robust standard bathrooms in the higher-acuity tier
  • Secure healthcare wards and behavioural assessment areas in acute hospitals

Installation

  • Supplied as a single moulded unit with integrated outlet and activation.
  • Rear-fixed installation only – for front-fixed configurations see the 123.02 series (with shelf) or WHB-200.
  • Through-wall service connections run to the Wallgate water management controls; solenoid valves and sensor electronics sit behind the wall in an accessible service void.
  • Specifiers must include the appropriate Wallgate controller and solenoid pack on the project specification (sold separately).
  • Not compatible with ligature resistant basin waste grille (821351)
  • Installation must be in accordance with the supplied installation instructions, AS/NZS 3500 and NCC 2022 Volume Three.
