WC Suites and Pans

Cisterns are manufactured from plastic or vitreous china (ceramic) and are screwed to the wall. They flush at the push of a button or by a lever. The cistern should be about 600millimetres above the floor including the base to allow the correct flushing action. A WC suite consists of a cistern and pan. The cistern can be either low or high level joined by a flush pipe to the pan or coupled by a direct connection. These WCs can be fitted by Plumbers.The water supply is controlled by a valve system and can be supplied by either a storage tank or mains. The capacity is still 9lts but dual flush systems provide either 4.5lts or 9lts of water for flushing. A low level standard cistern measures 200millimetres from the back to the front and is too deep to sit behind the pan so a slim line can be used. A slim line cistern measures the same from side to side but as little as 115millimetres from front to back. Dual Flush type.The dual flush type provides either a water saving small flush or a double sized flush for solid waste.Low Level Cistern designs.A low level type of WC cistern can be linked to the pan by a short flush pipe or can be what is called close coupled which means that both the pan and cistern are joined together to represent one unit.Types of WC Pans.Some can sit flush to the wall and some can be wall hung. The outlet pipe needs to be connected to a soil pipe that passes out of the house more or less horizontally. There are two types of pan. A wash down pan and double trap siphonic. The wash is the most common using water to splash on the sides of the pan forcing the contents away leaving clean water behind. The double trap is hardly used but empties by suction before the flush water reaches it, this design is quiet and efficient. A Plumbers is qualified to advise on and fit all of the above.
