Default Joker Valves (was) Question for Peggie

Yup...the little rubber cup shaped thingy with a slit in the bottom and
"lips" on the outside that's in the discharge fitting. The flange
doubles as the gasket between the discharge fitting and the pump body.

If you overtighten the 4 screws that hold the discharge fitting onto the
pump body that connection will leak onto the head sole.

This applies to electric macerating toilets as well as to manual toilets.
