Is it a floating one? With the frame?

 

[ashtonjay]

no there isnt a frame included just a long cistern thats gonna go behind a stud wall
there are some brackets to attach to wall but they look a bit flimsy

customer paid a lot for the bloody thing too !!

does the pan sit on the floor?

 

[Subby]

Just make sure you don't cut the flush pipe too short as they are slightly tapered.

Heres a tip, If it is a floating pan, don't fix it to the wall with 2" x 10s and red plugs.

Is that called "experience"?

Ah the voice of experience?!

 

[Guest123]

The Polish version works best. Just slap it to wall with 10 tubes of silicone.

 

[ashtonjay]

no its not suspended the pan sits on the floor fellas
i definatly wont be using 2" x 10s and red plugs either :wink_smile:

 

[Whn1]

In that case it'll be a doddle. Just make sure the builder makes it accessible after tiling etc, an when setting out flush pipe make allowances for finish floor levels etc.

 

[Whn1]

Remember he sol and flush pipe don't need to be tiled tightly around leave some nice space around them for adjustments.

It's one of them that you're supposed to be able to service it through the front flushing panel. As long as your hands are as small as a 2yr old.

 

[Whn1]

My mistake, Simons right here.
just measure and offer things up a million times, fit it all dry first if your unsure.

 

[ashtonjay]

will do

its seems like a bloody big flush plate to have to put such a big hole in the tiles?

i have changed a few syphons on these its like playing jenga through a bloody letterbox

Easy to fit. The brackets on the sides have a wedge which snaps in so that it can be set at right depth. Problem is the teeth wear off and the cistern slides back. Put a PK screw in each side of bracket to stop it moving. Also check the thickness of wall, if its 75mm stud in front of cistern the rectangle tube may be too short to fit face plate on.

easy to fit and are very reliable i always use big washers on the brackets and use a flex tap conn on the cold feed.
