Fix Porcelain Ceramic Urinal [2012-01-04]

 

A common site in public restrooms, urinals are increasingly being fitted in homes as well. They offer benefits ranging from eco-friendliness and cost-efficient water use to the ability for easier cleaning to avoiding conflicts about what position to leave the toilet seat. A  Ceramic Urinal often comes with many of the fittings needed to fix it, so all that is required for installation is toolbox equipped with basic plumbing tools.
1 Locate the secondary water shut off. This is typically found at the first joint protruding from the tile or wall. It is usually hidden under a chrome cap that can be popped off manually or with a screwdriver. (In the accompanying photo, it is the black disc protruding from the pipe in the wall).
2 Use your screwdriver to turn the water shut off screw to the left, stopping the flow of water to the Porcelain Urinal.
3 Using your channel locks, turn the octagonal or hexagonal bolt located on top of the flush head. It is the only large octagonal or hexagonal screw on the flush head.
4 Fully loosen the screw and remove the flush head's cap. As the screw loosens, don't be alarmed if some remaining water pours out of the head.
5 Locate the diaphragm. It is the large, black disc in plain site, taking up the majority of the flush head's innards.
6 Remove the old diaphragm and replace with the new Sloan diaphragm.
7 Replace the flush head and screw the octagonal (or hexagonal) screw back in place.
8 Slowly turn the secondary water shut off to the right, restoring the water supply to the urinal of Auto Flush Kit. Flush and observe.
