How to install an inwall cistern

An inwall cistern is a great way of hinding plumbing and giving your bathroom a clean desiner look, simular to a wall hung toilet but with a floor standing back to wall toilet.

Installing a in-wall cistern can be a bit complex, but by following these steps, you can complete the installation process:

1. Choose a suitable location: The Tavistock in-wall cistern should be installed in a suitable location where it can be easily accessed for maintenance and repair. Also, make sure that the wall is strong enough to support the weight of the cistern.
2. Prepare the wall: The wall should be prepared by removing any tiles or plaster that might obstruct the installation process. Ensure that the wall is clean and flat before proceeding.
3. Install the cistern frame: The cistern frame should be installed within the wall cavity. It is important to ensure that it is level and plumb before fixing it to the wall.
4. Connect the water supply: Connect the water supply pipe to the inlet valve of the cistern. This should be done carefully to avoid leaks.
5. Install the flushing mechanism: Install the flushing mechanism, including the flush button or plate, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Test the system: Before installing the wall covering, test the system to ensure that it is working properly. Flush the toilet and check for leaks.
7. Install the wall covering: Install the wall covering such as tiles, plaster or drywall. Ensure that the flush button or plate is correctly aligned with the wall covering.
8. Connect the toilet pan: Connect the toilet pan to the cistern frame. Ensure that the pan is level and flush with the floor.
9. Finish the installation: Install the toilet seat and any other accessories required.

It’s important to note that the installation process can vary depending on the specific Tavistock in-wall cistern model and the installation environment. If you are not confident in your DIY skills, it’s best to seek professional help.

My favorite inwall cistern in the Tavistock In-wall Cistern as its fully insulated, has a number of flush plate options and easy to maintain and reapir should it need any repairs, but honestly from the 100’s ive installed I have only had one that had an issue which was just a small amount of debee inside keeping the flush open. Simply removed the cyphen and washed it out and no issues since.
