concealed cisterns

[Fallout]

Can most concealed cisterns be fitted both ways round. The cistern I have doesnt seem to have a front or back and has screw holes on both sides. It doesnt look like it will make a difference.

It shouldn't make any difference as long as you can connect the water inlet ok. The big hole at the bottom should be in the middle, and the rest is just a tank. Make sure you can get your flush button where you need it tho in case there's only cut-outs on one side.

thanks yes the water is fed to the top of the cistern so that will be ok. Is an ideal standard conceala cistern.

Most concealed cisterns have a back that usually has a hanger or someway to connect to the wall, can't see any advantage in having one that could be turned around.

 

[Fallout]

Doesn't have a hanger just four fixing holes on either side.

Ditto my cistern. Identical sides, just the inlet hole offset.

Most concealed cisterns are designed to be fitted on either the back or front walls of the cavity created by the false wall, and are generally symetrical, therefore reversible.

Older designs (Macdee Hideaway), made when it was the choice of a syphon or a syphon, generally only have holes for the handle spindle on one side, therefore not reversible.
