Duravit Cisterns
Duravit Cisterns
Two different jobs sit on this page. The DuraSystem in-wall frames and concealed cisterns are what a wall-hung pan hangs off, and the close-coupled cisterns are the visible ceramic tanks that bolt onto a floor standing pan. Exposed cisterns here cover D-Code, DuraStyle, Happy D.2, ME by Starck, Starck 3, Duravit No. 1, Series 1930 and a back to wall cistern for D-Neo. Pick on how the pan is mounted, then see Duravit toilets for the pans.
DuraSystem Concealed Cisterns and Frames
DuraSystem is Duravit's in-wall programme for toilets and urinals, offered in two forms: dry installation, self supporting and designed to be panelled over with plasterboard, and wet installation, for building into solid masonry. One dry element carries integrated ventilation for odour extraction, and Duravit lists both the standard and wet elements as available with a hygienic flush. The toilet cisterns are specified as dual flush at 3 to 6 litres, prepared for Duravit Rimless pans. A 500 x 1148 mm frame for a concealed flushing valve covers the urinal side.
Close-Coupled Cisterns
These are range specific, not universal. A DuraStyle cistern is made for a DuraStyle close-coupled pan and a Starck 3 cistern for a Starck 3 pan, because the bolt centres, the flush outlet and the ceramic proportions are matched to that range. Every close-coupled cistern stocked here is dual flush. If you are replacing a cracked tank rather than doing a full bathroom, identify the range first and bring the old lid in if you are unsure.
The Flush Plate Finishes the Job
A concealed cistern is only two thirds of the installation. The frame carries the load and the cistern sits inside it, but the actuator plate is what you press and the only part left visible once the wall is tiled. Duravit's A1 mechanical and A2 touchless plates are on our Duravit flush plates page, and the pans that hang on these frames are on Duravit wall-hung toilets.
Specify the frame, the cistern, the plate and the pan together rather than in sequence, because the frame is built in before the wall is closed and changing your mind later means opening tiling. The full Duravit range is on display at our Kramerville showroom in Johannesburg.
