does the drain bag need to hang vertically to work or can it hang horizontally as well? I understand it has to hang lower than the urinal end.

Chris, IL think it works best hanging vertically, but any which way will do, as long as it is lower than the urinal and the hose is free of any crimping.

VERTICALLY; Horizontal is asking for spillage problems. This is a quality product and other than the urinal, this is the same product used by hospitals for their Foley cathiters. Treat with care, clean after every use, should give you grat service. Have recently ordered another for backup just in case.

The bag can be horizontal, but must be lower than the receptacle. After several uses, I found the connection point began to leak when the bag was horizontal (I put it on the floor).

I have mine on the left side of the toilet. I don't see why you couldn't mount it vertically but you would then have a vertical not a horizontal grab bat.

The control for the drain plug follows a mostly vertical motion as the control is extended. By almost vertical, I mean just that. It moves at a very slight angle, but I'd call it mostly vertical.

The top is a flat surface. You would have to get a special adapter to make it hang, I think.

We hung ours horizontally, but I'm sure it would work vertically too. You just need to pull the towel straight out. We love ours. You should be sure it's attached to the wall in a stud not just in the drywall.

As Jim says below, the drain hose only works on gravity; there is no pump, so if the drain hose is kinked, going up hill, or is otherwise inhibiiting the ability of the water to just drain on its own the water will go back to the tank and fill it up.

No, unless you used some command strips, which you would have to put over some of the pictures on the opposite side. The strap for hanging is located on one of the shorter sides so it is intended to hang vertically.

This one drains from the short side. I use it on the small counter to the left of my sink {approx. 13.5 in. }, turn the drain toward the sink, and the drain hangs over the sink about 2.5 in., which is very unobtrusive. Hope this helps.

Is the drain hose hanging I've the sink high enough? (Once you get it working, consider buying a lint trap to zip tie around the end of the drain hose. You'll be surprised at how much lint collects. Not the best for general plumbing.) Good luck!!

For this to work the right way it has to be inserted at least to the point where the drain king is no longer visible. To forget that it has to inflate before it can work. If it has to pipe wall to inflate on it won't work.

I mounted mine horizontal rather than vertical like the picture. Has worked great. No issues.

It hangs like this while soaking. Then you rinse and flip it so the opening are hanging down to drain and dry

The lid will stay open vertically if you tighten the bolts that hold it. The bags are easily to get to if the lid is open or closed - easier if open.

The urine will flow into the plastic bag due to gravity. It's designed to be hung next to the bed, I think. If the bag is higher than the urinal part then it's not going to work. It doesn't come with a lid (at the opening where you insert your penis). The plastic bag is pretty thin and breakage somewhere on the bag does occur. The concept is great but the execution, the material, etc. need improvement. It's a shame since this is such a fabulous idea for the patient and the caregiver alike.

This humidifier works by evaporating water as it runs down a spongy panel. If the unit were horizontal, gravity wouldn't pull the water down along the panel and into the drain, so it seems pretty clear to me that it couldn't be used on the horizontal.

No, it needs to be installed vertically. The bulb on the bottom floats on the water, rising up and sealing. It wouldn't work horizontally.

depending on the weight of your poster, the top clip may not be able to hold the poster vertically without support on the bottom clip. I did not receive any hanging hooks or wire with the poster holders. If you are thinking of hanging the poster horizontally, i don't think you'll have a problem.
