I have a TOTO UT104#01 Low Consumption Urinal that has been installed about 3 years. When it is flushed the water continues to run for about 1 minute which is way longer that normal. What is the problem? Is there a way to adjust it by turning one of the "rings" with a wrench at the top?

There are several flushometer valves that could have been used.
What is the brand on the chrome parts?

The picture below shows the one made by Toto.

Here is a maintenance Guide for the Sloan Regal.

1. Flushometer DOES NOT function (no flush). A. Control stop or main valve is closed. Open control stop or main valve. B. Handle assembly is worn. Install handle repair kit B-50-A or replace handle. C. Relief valve is worn. Replace inside parts kit. 2. Insufficient volume of water to adequately siphon fixture. A. Control stop not open enough. Adjust control stop for desired delivery of water. B. Urinal flushometer parts inside a closet flushometer. Replace inside urinal parts with proper closet flushometer parts. C. Low consumption flushometer installed on a non-low consumption fixture. Replace A-41-A inside parts kit with A-38-A water saver kit. D. Water saver kit installed in old, non-water saver bowl. Position refill head A-170-1 so that SIDE 1 is in the UP position. E. Inadequate volume or pressure at supply. If no gauges are available to properly measure supply pressure or volume of water at the flushometer, then remove the relief valve from the inside parts kit, reassemble the flushometer and open the control stop. • If the fixture siphons, more water volume is required. If a 3.5 gpf inside parts kit is installed in the flushometer, then first flip the refill head (under the diaphragm) to obtain a 4.5 gpf volume. If this volume is still inadequate, remove the flow ring from the guide to obtain a 6.5 gpf kit. If additional flow is still required, try a low pressure guide kit A-175-A. IMPORTANT: LAWS AND REGULATIONS PROHIBIT THE USE OF HIGHER FLUSHING VOLUMES THAN LISTED ON FIXTURE OR FLUSHOMETER. • If fixture does not siphon or if a low consumption fixture is installed, or if the above steps do not prove satisfactory, steps must be taken to increase the pressure and/or supply

5. Length of flush is too long (long flushing) or fails to close off. A. Relief valve is not seating properly or by-pass orifice is clogged because of foreign material, or by-pass orifice is closed by an invisible gelatinous film from “over-treated” water. Disassemble the working parts and wash thoroughly. NOTE: SIZE OF ORIFICE IN THE BY-PASS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR PROPER METERING OF WATER INTO THE UPPER CHAMBER OF THE FLUSHOMETER. DO NOT ENLARGE OR DAMAGE THIS ORIFICE. REPLACE INSIDE KIT IF CLEANING DOES NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. B. Line pressure has dropped and is not sufficient to force relief valve to seat. Shut off all control stops until pressure has been restored, then open them again. C. A-19-AC (white) closet relief valve has been used in a 1 or 1-1/2 gpf urinal. Replace with A-19-AU (black) relief valve. D. Inside cover is cracked or damaged. Replace the inside cover A-71.
