The success of the Excel design meant that a three
chamber unit
could be specifically designed for those with NO continuous 110 volt
supply. First launched in 1981, the Excel NE has long been the standard
toilet for those living off the grid. A 1998 redesign gave the unit a
rounded look, and recessed the drum handle.
The Excel NE has no fan or heater. Odorless
operation is achieved by
a 4" vent mounted at the top rear of the unit which acts like a chimney
on a wood stove. For good air movement the vent should be installed
vertically and to 2-3 feet above the peak of the roof. The optional
12 Volt Fan should be installed if you need to install the toilet
with any bends in the vent. No more than 2 45° bends are
encouraged, even with the fan.
If the Excel NE is used residentially or heavily,
or is in a place
which is subject to downdraft, the optional 12
volt fan should be installed in the vent stack. This fan draws 1.4
watts and can be powered by a solar panel and 12 volt marine battery.
Evaporating capacity on the Excel NE is variable,
so the 1" drain at
the rear should be connected to an approved drain pit, container, or
other facilityPlease click
