TECE flushing technology – cistern
TECE cistern
The concealed cistern from TECE is a universally adapt-
able standard cistern. By using different frames, the cistern
can be installed in dry or wet-wall constructions. The TECE
cistern is always equipped with the same internal tech-
nology inside and is therefore compatible with all TECE
flush plates. Due to the cistern's universal nature, there is
a clearly organised range and storage and the supply of
spare parts is straightforward.
Properties of the cistern:
• Pre-assembled and sealed
• Can be combined with all TECE flush plates
• Single or dual-flush technology available
• Robust lever mechanism
• 10-litre safety tank: enough water when needed
• Compatible with standard spare parts available on the
market:
4.5 and 3 litres,
6 and 3 litres,
7.5 and 3 litres or
9 and 3 litres.
• Cistern tank made of impact-resistant plastic
• Easy to install
• Self-explanatory technology
TECE cistern with
1. Corner valve
2. Reinforced hose
3. Filling valve 3/8" standard connection
4. Filling valve holder
5. Drain valve (here, F 10)
6. Valve seat (with throttle)
Tank
As the tank volume is 10 litres, there is always plenty of
water for flushing. Even after flushing with the large flush
volume, water is always available for a follow-up flush. The
tank is made of impact-resistant plastic and is insulated to
prevent condensation.
A2 drain valve
A2 drain valve has been installed in the TECE cistern since
the middle of 2009.

Dual-flush technology
During everyday use, a considerable amount of drink-
ing water is used to flush toilets. The intelligent solution
from TECE goes a long way towards saving water. With
dual-flush technology, the small flush volume is set to 3
litres, and the large flush volume can be set to 4.5/6/7.5
or 9 litres. The default setting for the dual-volume flush is
6 litres for the large flush volume and 3 litres for the small
flush volume.
Single-flush technology
Single-flush technology is also possible with TECE cisterns
and TECE drainage valves. However, with this flush option,
only the large flush volumes of 4.5/6/7.5 or 9 litres are
available.
General
Due to the easily adjustable drainage valve settings, the
flush volumes can be adapted to each specific situation.
In new builds with custom pipes, gradients and a 4.5-litre
ceramic, it is possible to use a 4.5-litre saving flush in com-
bination with a 3-litre flush. However, pipework systems
are often installed which need a larger flush volume to
ensure that they work correctly. In this case, flush volumes
of up to 9 litres can be chosen to ensure this.
