bathstore Whitechapel 573272, Installation Instruction

LOW LEVEL CISTERN INSTALLATION

1.  Mount the cistern securely on the wall at the required height using the fixing 
     holes through the rear of the cistern (N. B. The cistern lid must be situated a 
     minimum of 1 metre from the floor to obtain a satisfactory flush.) See HANDY
     HINT (Below).    
2.  Place the ornate shroud and retaining ring (thinner of the two supplied)
     over the top of the flush pipe and insert into the threaded syphon stem 
     (supplied as part of the cistern fittings). Once this is secure, push the ornate 
     shroud up to cover the fittings and secure with the retaining ‘O’ ring.
3.  Insert the lower end of the pipe into the pan via the multi-quick fitting (supplied
     as part of the cistern fittings.
4.  Pass the cistern lever through the orifice on the cistern via the threaded sheath
     and secure the locking nut. Slide the plastic washer over the cistern lever from
     inside the cistern, then hold all components in place by inserting the retaining
     pin through the pre-punched hole in the lever and bend to prevent it from
     moving. Lastly, slide the plastic fulcrum onto the lever, tighten the grub screw
     and join it to the existing ‘S Hook’ on the top of the syphon. (N.B. When 
     installed the external ceramic handle of the lever should point towards 
     2 o’clock).

HANDY HINTS - (For both high and low cisterns

)

1.  If you are installing your cistern on an outside wall, ensure that the black rubber 
     spacing washer are used to create a small gap between the cistern back and 
     the wall. There are two reasons for this; firstly it will help to reduce the 
     possibility of condensation when cold mains pressure is contained within a 
     humid environment. Secondly, the gap will help prevent ‘thermal shock’. This is 
     when rapid temperature change occurs (usually overnight) and causes the wall  
     to contract or expand, thus cracking the sanitary ware. When fixing the cistern 
     to the wall it is advisable to insert the screw through a washer (not supplied) on 
     the inside of the cistern. This will prevent the screw damaging the sanitary ware

     when the screw ‘bites’. 

HIGH LEVEL CISTERN INSTALLATION

1.  Mount the cistern securely on the wall at the required height using the fixing 
     holes through the rear of the cistern. (See HINT 1).    
2.  Join the two flush pipes by using the compression ‘O’ ring and nut. This will
     seal the pipe and ensure that it is watertight.
3.  Place the ornate shroud and retaining ring (thinner of the two supplied) over
     the upper flush pipe and insert into threaded syphon stem (supplied as part
     of cistern fittings). Once this is secure, push the ornate shroud up to cover
     the fittings and secure with the retaining ‘O’ ring.
4.  Insert the lower end of the pipe into the pan via the multi-quick fitting (supplied
     as part of the cistern fittings).
5.  Use the rubber nipple/buffer clip to prevent collision between the seat and pipe.
     This clip will also secure the pipe to the wall.
6.  Join the fulcrum to the ‘S Hook’ on the syphon (inside the cistern) and fix the 
     fulcrum to the cistern with the nut and bolt provided, then hang the pull 
     chain/ceramic handle from the fulcrum.
7.  Mount the decorative brackets using the screws provided snugly under the 
     cistern (See HINT 2).

HANDY HINTS - (Just for high cisterns)

2.  The ornate brackets are purely decorative, they should not be used as support
     From the cistern. Always ensure that the cistern is firmly and securely fixed to 
     The wall via the fixing holes at the rear of the tank.
