Viega, one of the leading international manufacturers of installation technology, has released a new range of concealed cisterns in Australia – the Mono Slim. The focus is on providing a slim-line, dual-flush cistern that’s easy to install and use. And the cisterns can be fitted with a comprehensive range of architectural flush plates from Viega.

The German made, award-winning Mono system has an installation depth of only 8cm, which means it is ideal in stud walls or in front of masonry walls. It also has a WELS 4-star rating based on a 3 and 4.5 litre flush, with the capability to increase it up to 6L for a large flush. Another key feature is the insulation of the cistern, which is designed to stop condensation as a result of cooler than room temperature water refilling the cistern.

The cisterns have been created with a single piece flush valve which has a dual benefit – i.e. there is a short travel distance, plus less ‘force’ is required to flush the cistern.

“Additionally, if maintenance work is required, it can be removed in one piece, so that no parts can fall into the cistern by mistake,” explains Robert Hardgrove, Viega’s Technical Manager / Strategic Projects.

A one piece inspection shaft also ensures the cistern is sealed, so during construction it prevents plaster, tile work mortar, water, dust or other contaminants getting into the cistern.

Ease of installation is also a major point of difference. The mounting plates on the cistern and on the frame enable simple assembly, plus the water supply connection comes completely pre-assembled. It means the connection to the feeder pipe is possible from outside, without opening the cistern.

Another of the cistern’s features is a translucent rubber washer with higher chlorine resistance for the Australian market.

Designer flush plates

The Mono cisterns can also be combined with Viega’s extensive range of award-winning flush plate designs – one of the most comprehensive and diverse ranges available.

“Regardless of a bathroom’s architectural style, Viega has a flush plate which can fit harmoniously into the design of any bathroom,” Robert says. “They’re designed to match a wide array of ceramics and taps.”

Viega’s flush plates come in a choice of short or long, chrome, stainless steel, plastic or glass.
