1. Using a craft knife, cut the protective casing so that it is flush with the finished surface. 2. Screw the plastic fixing arms supplied with the flush plate into the protective casing and secure in place. Cut down if necessary with a hacksaw. These may have to be cut down depending on finished surface thickness. 3. Fix the flush plate mounting bracket to the fixing arms using a screwdriver as shown. 4. Take out the hoses so that they can be accessed for fitting the flush controls. 5. Connect the hoses, making sure that the blue hose is connected to the half flush connector as shown. 6. Locate the right hand side of the flush plate onto the mounting bracket and push to the left to locate, ensuring that the plate is orientated such that the hose connectors point upwards.

Offer the cistern up to the desired installation position, ensuring there is a minimum width of 620mm for installation. Determine the height of the cistern using the pan’s inlet pipe as a height reference (X mm) and the overall product dimensions on the front page. The fixing brackets for the cistern allow left to right and front to back adjustment.
After ensuring that the cistern is level using a spirit level, mark the fixing points using a pencil and drill the marked positions with a 10mm masonry drill bit. Secure the cistern to the wall, making any last minor adjustments using the fixing brackets. The wall fixings supplied are suitable for solid wall installations only. Please use appropriate fixings for your installation type. If in doubt, consult an expert.
Note: The waste pipe (not included) will need to be installed at this point. Individual installations will vary. Ensure the waste pipe is supported and can easily be accessed when the partition wall has been built.
Installation Of Isolation Valve
PTFE

The isolation valve is pre-assembled with the cistern. If the valve needs replacing, the above instructions show

the correct installation procedure. Connect the water supply to the cistern using an approved double check

valve to fluid category 3 in addition to an accessible service valve.

Important: Flush out all impurities in the system prior to connection. Before building the final cladding, install

the pan, turn on the water supply and fill the pan. Check tightness of supply and drain connections. Close

the isolation valve and drain the cistern and pan, then remove the pan.

Before the finished wall is installed around the cistern, the plastic protective casing needs to be screwed onto the cistern in the desired position to ensure that the push plate (or flush button) can be installed after plastering and tiling. Depending on the desired flush plate installation type (front mounted or top mounted), use the cistern cover plate to cover the unused fixing position. Screw the protective case into the desired position, as shown above.

1. Place the inlet pipe into the frame and place a mark that corresponds to the finished surface of the wall. 2. Then place the inlet pipe onto the back of the pan and using a straight edge, place a mark that corresponds to the back face of the pan 3. The distance between these two marks corresponds to the amount of pipe that needs to be cut off to enable the pan to fit snugly against the finished wall surface. 4. BEFORE cutting the pipes, add a further 6mm to the amount to be cut off on the inlet pipe.
X + 6mm
5. It is ESSENTIAL that the extra distance is added to cut away extra material to allow for compression of finished surfaces when the WC pan is installed. Take care to cut straight otherwise leaks will occur. 6. Once cut, add a chamfer to the end of the pipe to ensure that it can be easily located inside the pipework in the cistern. Locate the inlet pipe into the pan using the black rubber pan seal supplied.

Trim 150mm MAX

Cut square
Install the flush pipe, ensuring both O-Rings are covered. The flush pipe can be cut down, up to 150mm if necessary. Install the bung in the flush pipe to protect the pipe during building work. Keep a minimum of a 3mm gap around both the flush pipe and the protective case when building the partition wall. This will allow the flush pipe bung to be removed as well. Make provision for access to waste connections, making sure that any aperture is narrower than the pan that will be fitted.

7. Push the trimmed pipe into position and check that the pipe is secure, DO NOT use silicone as this may prevent a seal from forming. Install the pan according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions. When positioning the pan, take care that the waste pipe connection (not supplied) is well aligned to prevent leaks. It is recommended that enough space is allowed around the waste pipe to facilitate installation.

Problem
Water leaks from the base. (Continued)

Potential cause
2 The rubber flapper seal may have fallen off, may need cleaning or could be damaged.

Suggested action
Ensure the flapper seal is fixed in position. However, if it is damaged, a replacement is needed, this is available as SP12551.
NOTE: Before re-fitting the flush valve assembly check the base is correctly seated as shown to the left and not out of position (see below as an example)

!

3 Ensure the rotation of the blue, reduced flush float is in the correct position, and has locked in place securely.
If it isn’t (as shown left) the float can catch on the adjustment measure. To lock in place, simply rotate the float anticlockwise.

The flush valve does not work properly.
There is dripping water from the inlet of the WC pan.

The pneumatic tubes may have been installed incorrectly on the flush plate.
Ensure that the black flush inlet pipe (SP14733) has been prepared properly.

Ensure that the tubes match the following configuration and are fully sealed around the nozzles:
The blue tube must be connected to the joint marked with a half circle.
The transparent tube should be connected with the joint marked with a full circle.
1. Ensure that silicone has not been used to on the rubber pan seal (SP12170) as this may prevent a seal from being formed.

2. Ensure that the flush pipe has been cut square.

3. Ensure that the flush pipe has been filed to add a chamfer to the end as this helps the pipe properly locate into the cistern’s pipework.
