Conceala 2 cistern with Gerberit push button dual flush

[curium]

Hi

I've purchased a conceala 2 dual flush cistern as it was recommended as a good concealed cistern. Unfortunately I don't like the selection of flush plates available from Ideal Standard for the cistern. They are all too big and will be very prominent in what is a very small bathroom.

I've googled and decided I like the look of the Geberit Hytouch Pneumatic Finger Push Button Dual Flush.

Here's the spec drawing pulled from their site.

The cistern comes with the pneumatic tubing, I measured as accurately as possible and it would appear to have an internal diameter of 2.5mm and an outside diameter of 4.0mm.

Surely it's just a case of connecting the supplied tubing to the Gerberit button?

Anyone able to advise? Anyone done similar?

Cheers for your help.

Differences might be in the volume and pressure of air that you squash. You could probably tell by inspecting the one you have?

Load of Boll*ox, flush plates are normally decorative, if it will fit ,use it.

ChrisR was right. The Gerberit button did work but the pressure required to activate the flush was so much that my girlfriend couldn't use it so I've had to order the Ideal Standard flush plate.

I think the issue is caused by the larger bellows in the Gerberit button and longer travel whereas the Ideal Standard button has a much shorter action.

Thought i'd feedback so that others are aware of the issues.
