Liam Asked :Hi I'm 1st fixing and need to know where the water inlet it positioned Thanks
We can confirm that water inlet on the Empire High-Level Cistern is on the right-hand side as you look at it.
Andrew Asked :Hi We want some information about how the cistern fills. Does the inlet pipe feed into the top's cistern - meaning that the inlet feed pipe would need to be chased into the wall behind the toilet? We would plan to position this toilet against a solid brick wall - does this limit our choice of the toilet (obviously we want the inlet pipe out of view)? Thanks Andrew
The water inlet is on the right-hand side of the cistern. If it’s not possible to chase the pipe into the wall, it would be visible. Depending on the situation it might be possible to chase the pipe into the adjacent wall to the cisterns right up to the height required then run the pipe horizontally to the cistern inlet? Another possibility would be to run the pipe through the ceiling above the cistern. If none of the above will work in this case, then the alternative would be a low-level cistern and pan. The water inlet is at the bottom of the cistern so surface run pipework will be much less obvious.
Ann Asked :What length can we shorten the pipe to reduce overall height?
The bottom end of the top pipe can be cut down by as much as is needed, but there may be a slight loss of performance in the flushing efficiency, due to the water not coming out into the pan with as much force. The pipework on a low-level suite is 38mm o.d. (rather than 35mm o.d. on the high level), so overcomes this problem. This probably won't be noticeable if the customer's taking off only a few inches.
