Specifications

Choosing fill configuration

Left-hand or right-hand fill specifies which side of the unit the primary water supply line enters. Match the configuration to your existing prep-room plumbing rough-in — mis-specified fill side is the most common 1036-1 install rework.

If your plumbing isn’t yet roughed in or you’re ordering for a new build, the Factory Default configuration ships as the standard left-hand fill.

Hydro aspirator and water control

The integrated hydro aspirator handles fluid evacuation during the embalming process without a separate vacuum line — the single-supply design simplifies the plumbing footprint in tight prep rooms and reduces failure points compared to standalone aspirator units.

304 stainless steel construction handles repeated exposure to embalming chemicals, body fluids, and daily wash-down without alloy migration, pitting, or hardware corrosion.

Workflow integration

Pairs directly with the Oversized Hydraulic Embalming Table and the Wall Mount Embalming Service Station (Model 1036-2). For prep-room positioning hardware, the Stainless Steel Body Bridge Set is sized for the same workflow.
