Geberit Duofix Plattenbau wall-hung toilets
The installation of a hanging toilet bowl is often difficult in the sanitary unit of a typical apartment. This type of WC installation requires access to the bearing wall, into which the attachments for the bowl shall be built. In American bathrooms, between the wall and the toilet bowl there is a sanitary shaft, which becomes an insuperable obstacle for standard installations. Geberit Group has developed a solution that easily circumvents this predicament. The Duofix installation kit Plattenbau is equipped with extended “studs”. They allow you to install the construction even in bathrooms with a very deep sump. Grooves in the construction profile also provide for adjustment, which allows you to adjust to the location of pipes.
Installation of the new solution is carried out according to the height of the room or the height of the frame. Standard Duofix installations for wall-hung toilets with Geberit Sigma UP320 or Geberit Delta UP182 cisterns have a height of 112 cm. The constructions with Geberit Omega cisterns are available in three variants 82, 98 and 112 cm . The width of the frame is 50 mm. It can be placed both behind a false wall and behind a supporting pillar – the main load is on the floor studs. The installation can withstand up to 150 kg. Such stability is provided by means of a strong frame made of thick profile, which supports are distinguished by particular strength. In addition to the top and bottom crosspieces, the structure is reinforced by a wide rectangular stripe at the bowl mounting level. Installation legs are coated with zinc to resist corrosion and equipped with heavy-duty plates with holes for mounting. cistern inside the sanitary installation has two flush actuation modes and is equipped with a stop-and-flush actuation button. The Geberit Sigma cistern model can be limited to 4.5 liters of water to flush, which meets European standards for water efficiency. The guarantee for the drainage system is 10 years. Warranty on spare parts – 25 years.
