Re: Plumbing help - Flush valve or concealed cistern
Posted: March 27th, 2015, 2:10 am
it is designed to be serviced from the opening provided for adapter plate. No need to disturb the tiles . It may be a new thing in india, however concealed cisterns is decades old and most of the reputed companies have proven designs. However...
The design need to be adapted to local \indian water conditions, The amount of debris \ silt is something that can cause interruption in valve closing , typically tanks with rectangular design has higher chance of clogging. you need to choose something that is sort of 'V' shaped at bottom. the sloped bottom doesn't accumulate ,rather funnels silt \ debris out. some other designs have filters at inlet , that may require cleaning.
Kohler is one such company that I know which has customized the design. its economical 3.5k to 4k for tank and 1.5 k for actuator plate.
Care needs to be taken while plastering and tile laying , GI Mesh barrier, such that the plastic tank does not get compressed (depth dimension) due to stresses of cured plaster, disrupting the internal mechanism. Thickness of plastering \ tiles ,finishing need to be proper so that Adapter plate can be easily fixed.The company technician will give a free visit for instructions of installation. Do not depend on the unskilled labor for installation.
