Plumbing Q: Urinal Auto Syphons
Bit of a weird one for you all.
How do Urinal Auto Syphons work? I have one of these http://www.gofixit.co.uk/acatalog/ur...o_syphons.html I want to use it for it's auto syphon, not in a urinal. And I'm trying to figure out how it works. I've taken the plastic cover off it, and there is a small bore line that rins though the cover at the base and up to the top that doesn't seem to connect to anything. I can have a go in a bucket, but just trying to get my head round what's going on, or if the pipe should be connected to the internal gubbins in any way. Ta Ste

Re: Plumbing Q: Urinal Auto Syphons
Havent looked at the link but generally auto syphons trickle water in at a reduced rated via a Cistern miser (or similar) and when the water level is suffcient it discharges via a self induced syphonic action.
