Hi,

Anybody know where to get one of these new push button cisterns from?

I've seen plenty of the 'flapper valve' type, but the one I'm talking
about here has the flush button connected to the syphon by a length of
clear plastic pipe. Ideal for concealed cisterns.

Problem is, I can't recall where I've seen them.

Thanks

Dave


Dave,

The Multikwik (e.g. MFC1V) flush valve comes with a modest length
'remote' really only suited to use in place of a standard lever.
However, another model with a *very* similar number has an extra long
'cable' - 800 mm IIRC - for just the purpose you require. And it is a
pretty good device. I have no idea if the air pipes are any better or
worse - or for that matter whether they support two flush volumes (as
does the Multikwik) and might be relevant if you are metered.

Dave,
I've got a Thomas Dudley Vantage
(http://www.thomasdudley.co.uk/cister...roduct=Vantage) which is a
complete concealed cistern and pneumatic push button operated flush
valve (not syphon). I bought it from my local branch of PlumbCenter
(www.plumbcenter.co.uk) for about 80 quid IIRC. The MultiKwik is cable
operated (if that makes any difference).

I too have recently fitted a Thomas Dudley concealed cistern.

I think mine was the "Phantom" and it included a pneumatically operated
remote button valve.

I got mine from my local Jewsons, and fitted it inside a Shades fitted
bathroom WC unit. It fitted just fine and the valve is a pleasure to use.
Only one minor complaint - I really fancied a "dual flush" option but this
didn't seem to be available.

Actually there was one further issue - the button is VERY big. This is
probably because it incorporates the little air "pump". For some
flat-fronted furniture, or for concealed fixing behind a tiled wall or
something this wouldn't be an issue. However on the Shades units that SWMBO
specified, the front panels have a routed "panel" design, and it was only
just possible to accommodate the button on a flat area.

Regards,

Simon.
