I have a frost free water valve typically used for farm use.
Open the valve and the water is available, torn off the valve and the water source is closed 4 ft below grade and water in the valve drains out, no water above grade.
I want to run this to a sink and to a toilet, but need to have no water remain in fixtures.
For the sink I am using a straight facet (not angled up) which would drain when water is shut off, sink would have no trap.
For toilet, I don't want a water tank and a trap. I want to just open a valve and flush out the toilet leaving no water behind.
This is to be used in a storage building at the back of my property.
The water comes from a 2400 gallon cistern in the ground, fed from the roof (steel) along eves troves to down-spout thru a debris filter into the holding tank with an overflow to a dry well.
I am planning to use solar heating to in-floor heating. The building will be below freezing some days and nights.
Once upon a time you could get a toilet with a straight opening and no trap.
