Portuguese term

bacia sanitária

Portuguese to English Other Architecture
Good evening! I am not sure what "bacia sanitária" means in this context. I wonder if it's "toilet bowl" (vaso sanitário), "bathtub" (banheira), or just "sanitary basin"?


I searched Google images for "bacia sanitária" and see pictures of both (toilet and bathtub/ vaso sanitário e banheira):

Penso que sem sombra de dúvida é "vaso sanitário" já que fala sobre valvula de descarga e caixa acoplada (aqueles vasos econômicos em termos de água).
