Leading bathroom manufacturer VitrA has added two new versatile frame and concealed cistern models to its portfolio. Designed to make installing wall-hung and back-to-wall WCs quick and simple, the new products join the company’s renowned range of solutions that meet the requirements of every bathroom and construction project.
Launched as ‘Core’ and ‘Prime’ the two new models have been engineered with a number of well thought out features with the installer firmly in mind.
The frames, measuring 30mm x 40mm, are supplied with a wall connection fixing kit, including fixation brackets and front adjustment mounting bolts, and feature three water inlet options – left, top and back, to offer improved flexibility. Clean water and wastewater pipes are also fixed together with load-bearing clamps.
To improve accuracy and efficiency on site, the flush plate area includes reference points that conveniently imprint the plasterboard with a cutting guide. There are also markings showing the 100cm level.
To offer installers with increased choice and versatility, VitrA’s Prime model includes further features that aid installation. These include spring-loaded feet to bear the weight and an adjustable clamp to secure the waste pipe in place – both allowing a one-person installation. Reference points on the V-Stopper also imprint the plasterboard with an additional cutting guide, for enhanced accuracy. The model also includes water and electrical connections for shower toilets and electrical flush plates. Helpfully, the water conduit can be accessed through the flush plate opening, meaning they can be connected in the future retrospectively without causing damage to the wall.
The new robust frames and cisterns are all subject to rigorous reliability and performance testing, backed by VitrA’s 10-year warranty and the 3/6 litre cistern option is WRAS approved. Spare parts are also guaranteed for 30 years.
Sam Cooke, VitrA Sales Director, explains, “Our new concealed cisterns and frames have been produced to be especially trouble-free and super easy to install in various settings – exactly what installers have been asking for. Ease of installation, quiet in operation and a fast first-fix option.”
VitrA offers a range of mechanical and electronic flush plates for use with the frames, including the new Loop collection. Loop is available in two distinct shape options – Square and Round – and offers a seamless fusion of modern aesthetics and cutting-edge engineering. The easy-to-install, wall-mounted design acts as a trigger to a concealed cistern and allows the operation of a wall-hung or back to wall WC at the touch of a button.
