Kloset
BUILDING MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTIONbeginner
Definition
Water closet or toilet fixture — the seated fixture connected to a drain system for human waste. Kloset is available in various styles: squatting pans (traditional in Indonesia), pedestal bowls (Western style, increasingly standard), and composite systems. Building codes specify trap type, water supply, and ventilation requirements.
Example
A modern Indonesian residential kloset uses a Western-style porcelain bowl with a soft-close seat, low-flow dual-flush tank (6/3 litre), and an overhead cistern — meeting water conservation standards while providing user comfort.
