Its a simple vertical outlet pipe inside the cistern covered partly by a 'bell' which has an inch or so gap at the base. As the water level rises eventually the vacuum inside the bell is compromised, the water enters the bell and flows up and over into the outlet pipe and starts a siphon which empties the water in the tank until the level reaches the bottom of the bell and the siphon is ceased. The tank slowly refills and the process is repeated. The time between flushes depends on the incoming water flow rate.

Can normal toilet cistern blocks be used in urinals?

No, normal toilet cistern blocks should not be used in urinals. These blocks are designed for toilets and may not dissolve properly in the different water flow and chemical environment of a urinal, potentially causing clogs or damage. Instead, urinal-specific cleaning products are recommended to ensure proper maintenance and performance.

How do you fix a urinal that after flushing the water runs down and out onto the floor?

I am assuming that you are talking about a wall hung urinal! Most urinals have a mounting bracket where the urinal seals against the drain line. There is a soft foam gasket that makes the seal between the urinal and the drain line. First, secure the water to the urinal, remove the flush valve, there are usually 2 screws or bolts located on at the bottom of the urinal, unscrew these and remove the urinal from the wall, replace the gasket and then replace the urinal in the reverse of removing.
