How to Use Javelin Urinal Treatment (Step-by-Step Guide)
Javelin Urinal Treatment is a professional-grade solution designed to eliminate clogged urinals, slow drainage, and unpleasant odors in commercial and institutional restrooms. Its fast-acting formula dissolves uric salt buildup — the #1 cause of urinal blockages — restoring proper flow and eliminating odors at the source.
Unlike harsh acids, Javelin is safe on all pipes (PVC, copper, or cast iron) and can be safely left in overnight without damage. Adding it to your maintenance routine keeps restrooms functional, clean, and odor-free while saving time, money, and plumber callouts.
Why Uric Salt Causes Clogs
Each time a urinal flushes, urine leaves behind trace minerals called uric salts. Over time, these crystallize inside the P-trap and drain line, forming a hard, cement-like blockage plumbers call “peeconcrete.” Once formed, typical cleaners and snaking rarely fix it for long. That’s why facilities across the U.S. rely on Javelin — it dissolves uric salt entirely, not just loosens it.
Javelin Urinal Treatment Application Tutorial
- Safety First
Wear nitrile gloves and eye protection before handling the product. - Turn Off the Flush Valve
- For auto-flush urinals: cover the sensor with a small piece of black electrical tape.
- For manual flush valves: place an “Out of Order” bag or sign over the handle.
- Remove Standing Water
Use a disposable cup or scoop to remove as much water from the urinal bowl as possible. - Take Out Screens and Deodorant Blocks
Remove any urinal screens, cakes, or inserts before applying the treatment. - Apply Javelin Urinal Treatment
- Pour the entire 16 oz bottle directly into the problem urinal drain at the end of the day.
- Let it sit overnight (minimum 2 hours dwell time for smaller issues).
- If treating two urinals side-by-side, pour half a bottle into each.
- Bag the Urinal During Treatment
Place an “Out of Order” bag over the bowl only — do not cover the chrome flush valve or sensor. - Flush and Verify
The next morning, remove the bag and flush. You’ll notice smooth flow, no odor, and no residue.
