Concealed cistern

A concealed cistern is fixed to a metal frame, on the wall or just in front of it, and hidden behind plasterboardPlasterboardA sheet of gypsum faced with paper, screwed to a metal frame to make suspended ceilings and light partition walls. It hides cables and pipes and takes recessed lights., a built-up stud wall or tiles. The same frame usually also carries a wall-hung toiletWall-hung toiletA toilet bowl fixed to the wall on a metal frame, together with a concealed cistern, without touching the floor. that does not touch the floor. It saves space, makes the bathroom look tidier and leaves the floor easy to clean.

Because it cannot be seen afterwards, it has to be installed right the first time: the frame level and firmly fixed, the water and waste connections checked for leaks before the wall is closed, and the toilet height decided in advance.

The mechanism is not out of reach. Behind the flush plate there is an opening through which the internal parts can be repaired or replaced without breaking any tiles. It is a good idea to keep the model details so spare parts are easy to find.
