W.C. Plumbing Unit

Hi

I am trying to find the right expression in English for the German "Nasszelle" or Naßzelle for a translation which describes a unit containing toilets and possibly sinks, no bathtubs or showers, and is called Nasszelle (= literally wet cell) in German, pointing out the importance for electrical concerns with wet floors.

Thanks,

Bernhard

In America, we refer to a room with toilet and sink as a "1/2 bath", with toilet, sink and shower as a "3/4 bath", toilet, sink, tub as a "full bath". Or are you asking about what we call a public toilet? There are many expressions for that, "mens/ladies room" etc. What are your electrical concerns? You're not thinking of putting a breaker box in a shower are you?

wet cell

Are you referring to a "self cleaning" rest room, which "flushes" itself after every use or periodically?

Thanks for the replies so far.
What I am referring to is a restroom in a train, basically.
Siemens, the German company refers to them as "Nasszelle" which literally means wet cell, expressing water and waste water concerns.
I guess bathroom or restroom will do for a translation. Or maybe sanitary unit - from the manufacturer's point of view.
Your further input is appreciated.

Well, if you are looking for an English term that will be understood, "sanitary unit" is not it. We understand "Big Unit". He pitches for the Yankees.

In a home, it is a "half-bath" and in public places, whether it be the park, a restaurant, an airplane, or even the train, it is "rest room". That's about it.

In San Francisco they have some public restrooms which are automatic cleaning. After a person leaves the room, the door locks and automatically the toilet, walls, and floors are hoses down and sanitized. Costs a buck or two to use it if I remember. It is still just called a "self-cleaning rest room".

The self cleaning rest rooms jimbo is referring to are made in France.
