CONCEALED CISTERNS Melbourne CONCEALED CISTERNS Melbourne

Concealed Cisterns

A concealed cistern sits inside the wall cavity and is accessed only through the flush button on the finished wall face — eliminating the visible cistern box found on close-coupled toilets. VICTILES Melbourne stocks concealed cisterns from R&T and Geberit, covering both back-to-wall (floor pan) and wall-hung toilet configurations. All models are Watermark certified and dual flush. R&T offers a practical entry-level range; Geberit’s Sigma and Kappa systems are the premium choice, with robust steel frames and extensive push plate compatibility.

How to Choose the Right Concealed Cistern

Back-to-wall vs wall hung — which frame do you need?

The most important first decision is whether your toilet pan is a back-to-wall (floor-mounted) or wall-hung model. A back-to-wall pan sits on the floor with the cistern behind the wall; a wall-hung pan is suspended off the floor with the full weight supported by the cistern frame. These require different frame types — they are not interchangeable. Confirm your pan type before ordering.

R&T vs Geberit

R&T cisterns are a cost-effective choice for standard back-to-wall and wall-hung installations. The MC-03 uses a direct mechanical connection to the push plate, while the MC-035 uses a pneumatic (air-pressure) connection — useful where the cistern sits deep in the wall. Geberit Sigma and Kappa systems use a heavier-duty steel carrier frame and support the full Geberit Sigma push plate range, which includes premium finishes such as brushed gold, gunmetal and glass. If you are specifying a high-end bathroom with a premium push plate, Geberit is the stronger platform.

Compatibility with push plates

Concealed cisterns and push plates must be matched by brand. R&T cisterns work with R&T push plates, and Geberit cisterns work with Geberit Sigma or Kappa plates. Mixing brands will result in the mechanism not connecting. VICTILES stocks matching push plates in the Push Plate Buttons collection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concealed Cisterns

Yes. A licensed plumber is required to connect the water supply, fit the cistern frame and rough in the waste. The tiling and wall framing around the cistern are then completed by the builder or tiler before the push plate is fitted.

It is possible but involves significant work — the existing wall cavity needs to accommodate the frame, and the plumbing rough-in must be repositioned if needed. It is most practical during a full bathroom renovation when walls are already opened. Retrofitting into a finished bathroom is difficult and generally not cost-effective.

All R&T and Geberit cisterns stocked at VICTILES are WELS 3-star rated with a 4.5L full flush and 3L half flush, meeting current Australian water efficiency requirements.
