Bathroom refit-which cistern?

Larkie8
Larkie8 Posts: 2 Newbie
Hi :hello:

I am sourcing items ready for a bathroom refit and have just bought a w/c vanity unit with left-hand push flush. (can't post a link but it is on diy.com -cooke and lewis riga w/c unit)

I now need to get a cistern to go inside the unit as i already have the toilet pan, i have found a cistern in wickes but can't work out whether i need a specific cistern that is compatible with a left-hand push flush system or whether any cistern is ok?

Hope that makes sense, many thanks!

    You should find these come undrilled so can be mounted left or right handed

    I would recommend Pneumatic flush rather than cable as these have proven to be more reliable on the bathrooms we have installed

    Can be ordered from PTS , Plumbcentre etc

    Other option is a Geberit cistern with large flush plate
