Urinal Cartridge replacement!

What happens here

With the new cartridge fully installed, it's crucial to test for leaks. Pour another 5-gallon bucket of water into the urinal. Observe closely around all connections, especially the rubber gasket and flange nut, for any signs of water dripping. The video shows that the initial test revealed a leak. The individual then makes an adjustment by pushing the rubber gasket more firmly into place and rotating the assembly slightly to ensure it's not 'cock-eyed', thereby stopping the leak.

Goal: Verify the installation for leaks and make necessary adjustments.

What they say

Hide

All right, we got our big flange nut on there and we got that little piece connected to the wall. Gallon of water, we're going to test for leaks. A decent size leak coming right from this rubber part. So, I pulled this part off the wall. Pushed that rubber in there, turned this so it wasn't cockeyed, and it seems to be running. Let's try it again. Let's check for leaks.
