What is a hidden cistern?
The cistern of the toilet is hidden behind a wall or in a furniture unit. Only the pan is visible. This creates a more modern, minimalist bathroom that is both stylish and easy to maintain. Hidden cisterns can be as small as 75mm in width, making them ideal for smaller bathrooms.
Location and size
Hidden cisterns will only be available if there is enough space. You should carefully check the dimensions of any partition you are considering using.
Hidden cisterns can only be used for back-to-wall toilets. Your concealed cistern must fit snugly in the back of your toilet if you want to install a back-to-wall unit with furniture.
The concealed cistern should be hidden within your furniture unit, making it easy to access in case you need maintenance.
Look for a wall-mounted mounting frame and a concealed toilet when searching for a wall-hung toilet. The frame will be mounted behind the wall to support the weight of the pan and provide a housing for the cistern. No matter what pan you choose, ensure it is compatible with your cistern.
For more information, please refer to our buying guide for wall mounting frames.
Access and valves
Concealed cisterns can be operated with either a cable, or pneumatics. Pneumatics are better than cable and should not need to be replaced as often.
When installing your concealed toilet, you must consider accessibility. Is it possible to quickly and efficiently access the cistern if something goes wrong? Is it possible to reach the flush pipe? Can you easily isolate the water?
You can make sure that you have easy access to your panel, such as the flush panel on our concealed mounting frames and cisterns.
Flush
Although choosing a flush style may seem like a fashion choice, if you have a modern concealed toilet, with pneumatic valves, then the push-button flush is the best option. A dual-flush saves water. You will have the choice of a 3 or 6-litre flush. Be sure to check for WRAS approval.
If you really want the classic lever flush, you can look into older concealed cisterns. Liver flushes are more difficult to maintain and less reliable than push-button flushes due to the cable and ball operation.
