Height options
Available in through-ceiling, up-to-ceiling, and half-height with sloping top configurations. Through-ceiling units extend 50–100 mm above the ceiling line with a ceiling trim finish, up-to-ceiling units terminate flush at the soffit, and the half-height option features an angled sloping top to discourage item placement and support hygiene compliance.
Hygipod IPS panels are manufactured from single PVC sheets up to 3000 mm for solid colours and 2440 mm for Essence finishes. Where these heights are exceeded, a horizontal joint is introduced at the upper section to maintain a consistent, hygienic finish.

These include a Trovex-supplied plinth for a hygienic, coved floor finish, direct-to-floor installation onto existing surfaces, and a prefinished plinth for a clean, finished appearance without floor coving.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Hygipod IPS is Trovex's range of integrated plumbing systems designed for healthcare facilities. IPS refers to pre-plumbed, factory-assembled modular units combining sanitaryware, pipework, valves, and fixtures into single duct panels, arriving on-site ready for installation. Available in over ten configurations, Hygipod provides pre-plumbed solutions for wash basins, scrub stations, sluice rooms, WCs, showers, and specialist applications including anti-ligature units.
Each unit is manufactured in Norfolk where all plumbing components are pre-installed, pressure tested, and quality checked before delivery. This modular approach eliminates on-site pipework, reduces installation time, and improves quality control. Configurable with 45+ PVC colour options, includes all sanitaryware, taps, brackets, and fixtures as standard. Trusted by NHS Trusts for infection prevention design, ease of maintenance, and HTM 64 compliance.
IPS is used throughout hospitals in wash hand basins, scrub stations, sluice rooms, patient WCs, accessible showers, cleaners' sinks, and janitorial units. Hygipod IPS duct panels install in wards, operating theatres, intensive care units, mental health facilities, outpatient areas, and staff amenities.
Specific applications include clinical hand wash stations for infection control in wards and treatment areas, surgical scrub stations for pre-operative hand washing, sluice rooms for bedpan washing and clinical waste, patient washrooms including Doc M compliant units, anti-ligature IPS for mental health patient safety, and cleaners' sinks throughout hospital buildings. The versatility makes integrated plumbing systems suitable for new builds, refurbishments, and estate upgrades across all healthcare settings.
An integrated plumbing system works by arriving as a complete, factory-assembled unit with all plumbing pre-installed behind hygienic duct panels. On-site, installers simply position the unit, connect to existing water supply and drainage points, and secure it to the wall.
The process begins in Trovex's Norfolk factory where skilled operators assemble the IPS duct panel, install all pipework, fit sanitaryware, add fixtures, and conduct pressure testing. Each unit includes lockable hinged access doors for secure maintenance access. The hygienic PVC-wrapped front panel is available in 45+ colours with smooth, wipe-clean surfaces designed for infection control. Pre-plumbed nature eliminates traditional on-site pipework, reducing installation time by up to 80%.
IPS in healthcare offers faster installation, superior infection control, consistent quality, reduced disruption, and easier maintenance compared to traditional plumbing. Hygipod IPS panels install in approximately 45 minutes, minimising impact on clinical areas whilst delivering factory-quality standards.
Key benefits include: rapid 45-minute basin installation reducing project timelines; infection prevention through sealed, wipe-clean surfaces with no crevices for bacteria harbour; factory assembly ensuring consistent quality; fast delivery within 3-4 weeks including sanitaryware; flexible design with over 10 variants and 45+ colour options; easy maintenance through lockable hinged doors; HTM 64 compliance; and reduced costs from lower labour requirements. These advantages make IPS preferred for NHS Trusts undertaking refurbishments, new builds, or estate upgrades.
Hygipod IPS basin units install in approximately 45 minutes, significantly faster than traditional plumbing methods. The pre-plumbed, factory-assembled design eliminates complex on-site pipework, enabling rapid deployment with minimal disruption to healthcare facilities.
The pre-assembled platform includes all components, brackets, and fixtures ready for wall mounting and service connection. This speed is valuable in refurbishment projects where clinical areas must return to operation quickly, and in new builds where compressed construction schedules demand efficient installation. Reduced installation time lowers labour costs whilst maintaining quality standards through factory assembly and testing.
