Commentary for Berakhot 46:3
אמר רבא אמר רב ששת לית הלכתא כי הא מתניתא דב"ש היא דאי ב"ה השתא בית הכסא קבוע שרי בית הכסא עראי מיבעיא
Raba said in the name of Rab Sheshet : The Halakah is not in accord with the above Baraita because it emanates from Bet Shammai; for if it emanated from Bet Hillel, since one is allowed to enter a regular privy [holding the Tefillin], how much more so a chance one!

Viz. that a man may not urinate while holding the Tefillin.

Since it is solely for the purpose of urinating, it is assumed that the Baraita refers to an occasional privy.
