TECEbox 8 cm

System description

TECE oers modules for the TECEbox range with an

installation depth of 8 cm that are particularly suitable for

a market dominated by thin partition walls. The system

comprises toilet modules with cisterns for ﬂoor-standing or

wall-hanging toilets as well as modules for bidets, wash-

stands and urinals. The TECEbox 8 cm toilet modules with

cisterns can be combined both with the installation sys-

tems for brick-wall construction (TECEbox basic, TECEbox

and TECEbox plus) as well for dry-wall construction (TECE-

box module).

The TECE cisterns can be used with all manual TECE ﬂush

plates as well as single and dual-ﬂush systems.

TECEbox  cm – Cistern

TECEbox 8 cm

Cistern  cm

The concealed cistern from TECE is a universally adapt-

able 8 cm cistern. By using dierent frames, the cistern can

be installed in dry or brick-wall constructions. The TECE

cistern is always equipped with the same internal technol-

ogy inside and is therefore compatible with toilet ﬁttings

and all manual TECE ﬂush plates. Due to the cistern's

universal nature, there is a clearly organised range and

storage and the supply of spare parts is straightforward.

Properties of the cistern:

• Pre-assembled and sealed

• Can be combined with all manual TECE ﬂush plates

• Single or dual-ﬂush technology available

• Robust lever mechanism

• 9.5-litre safety tank: enough water when needed

• Compatible with standard market spare parts

• Cistern connection with ½” internal thread

• 6-litre pre-set standard ﬂush volume

• 4.5 / 6 and 9-litre ﬂush volume can be set as an option at

any time,

• 3-litre part-ﬂush with dual-ﬂush system,

• Cistern tank made of impact-resistant plastic and insu-

lated against condensation water

• Easy to install

• Self-explanatory technology

Filling valve F 

Thanks to the high technical quality standard of the ﬁlling

system (valve, hose and F1 valve) the TECE cistern is char-

acterised by the lowest sound level on the market -

Lap ≤ 17 dB(A).

Intake and ﬁlling valve F 

Setting the ﬁll level

The ﬁll level in the cistern can be set by turning the adjust-

ment spindle on the ﬁlling valve.

The height should be set so that the water reaches the

upper mark on the overﬂow and the mark on the actuation

block (see ﬁgure).

3. Sliding lever for ﬂush volume

4. Gasket

Dual-ﬂush technology

During everyday use, a considerable amount of drinking

water is used to ﬂush toilets. The intelligent solution from

TECE goes a long way towards saving water. With dual-

ﬂush technology the small ﬂush volume is set to 3 litres

and the large ﬂush volume can be set to 4.5 / 6 or 9 litres.

The default setting for the dual-volume ﬂush is 6 litres

for the large ﬂush volume and 3 litres for the small ﬂush

volume

Single-ﬂush technology

Single-ﬂush technology is also possible with the cistern

and TECE drain valve. However, with this ﬂush option, only

the large ﬂush volumes of 4.5 / 6 or 9 litres are available.

General

Due to the easily adjustable drainage valve settings, the

ﬂush volumes can be adapted to each speciﬁc situation.

In the new builds with custom pipes, gradients and using

a 4.5 litre ceramic, it is possible to have a 4.5 litre saving

ﬂush in combination with a 3 litre ﬂush.

However, pipework systems are often installed which need

a larger ﬂush volume to ensure that they work correctly. In

this case, ﬂush volumes of up to 9 litres can be chosen to

ensure this.

4,5

Setting the ﬂush volumes

Adjusting the ﬂush volume is performed centrally using a

sliding lever, which is located on the side of the main part

of the drainage valve. The ﬂush volumes which can be set

are clearly marked on the valve.

The large ﬂush volume can be set to 4.5 / 6.0 or 9.0 litres.

The default setting is 6 litres. To change the large ﬂush

volume the drainage valve must be removed from the cis-

tern. To do this, the splash guard and the actuation block

must be removed. Then the drainage valve can be taken

out of the cistern. The sliding lever is located on the side of

the main part of the drainage valve. Move the sliding lever

to the desired ﬂush volume. This increases or decreases

the ﬂush volume.

This does not change the small ﬂush volume and it

remains set to 3 litres.

Throttle set

Problems with toilets not ﬂushing correctly can be solved

by using a throttle set.

The throttle set includes four dierent throttles:

• Blue: Diameter 32 mm (100%)

• Grey: Diameter 30 mm (90%)

• Black: Diameter 29 mm (80%)

• White: Diameter 28 mm (70%)

Reducing the ﬂushing pressure

To prevent overspray by the toilet ceramics, the ﬂush ﬂow

can be reduced using a throttle set. To control the ﬂushing

pressure, a throttle with a smaller internal diameter can be

used.

Increasing the ﬂushing pressure

If a toilet ceramic is not being correctly cleaned then the

ﬂushing pressure for 8 cm cistern can be subsequently

increased. To increase the ﬂushing pressure, install a throt-

tle with a larger internal diameter or remove the inserted

throttle.

The ﬂush ﬂow throttle can be easily installed in the valve

seat of the drainage valve.

Ø 28 mmØ 29 mmØ 30 mmØ 32 mm

To reduce the default large volume to 4.0 and the small

volume to 2.5 litres, the tank water level lever above the

ﬁlling valve must also be moved to the lowest mark on the

overﬂow.

Removing the drainage valve

Totake outthe ﬁlling valve open the splash guard with the

actuation block. Press the hold-down device downwards

as shown in the diagram and remove it from the tank. Now

pull the ﬁlling valve upwards out of the valve seat, snap o

the top part and take it out.

After removing the drainage valve, the valve seat can be

removed by pulling it upwards.

Initial operation of the cistern

Shell construction stage

The corner valve of the TECE 8 cm cistern is closed and

pre-installed as a complete unit. The pressure can be

tested without the cistern needing to be opened. The

cistern only needs to be opened during the ﬁne installa-

tion phase. During the shell construction stage, the cistern

remains sealed. An unbroken seal during ﬁne installation

work guarantees that the cistern is clean and functional.

A damaged seal shows that the cistern has already been

opened.

Splash guard with seal.

Fine installation

The TECE 8 cm cistern can only be opened by destroying

the seal on the splash guard. If the seal is intact at the ﬁne

installation stage, the inner workings of the cistern are

intact and free of contamination. The connection lead must

be well ﬂushed out during commissioning of the concealed

cistern. To do this, the hose in the cistern can be pressed

downwards. After being ﬂushed out, the reinforced hose

can be screwed to the ﬁlling valve without the need for any

tools.

Connect the hose to the cistern ﬁlling valve.

A special feature of the TECE concealed cistern is the

actuation block mounted on the splash guard. When the

concealed cistern is opened, it is completely removed.

This also works with the support frame for the actuation.

Splash guard with actuation block

Service

Despite the small inspection opening there is ample space

to work within the cistern. After removing the ﬂush-plate

cover, the ﬂush-plate installation frame including the splash

guard can be removed as one unit using a ﬂat-head screw-

driver.

Removing the compact unit.

This approach is easy and saves time because it avoids

laborious disassembly of individual components.

TECEbox basic

Toilet module with cistern, ideal for ﬂoor-standing toilets

and compatible with all manual TECE ﬂush plates (exclud-

ing the ﬂush plates with IR sensor).

Only for installation in a bricked-in wall.

Assembly in the wall

Create a niche in the wall according to the dimensions

speciﬁed.

If the ﬂush pipe (made of PE) is too long for the arrange-

ment, it must be removed from the cistern and cut to

length (maximum 120 mm).

By contrast, if a ﬂush pipe must be extended for a cistern

exceeding the standard dimensions, this can be extended

using via hot welding on an additional pipe.

Place the module in the niche, make sure it is level and

attach it using perforated rails as shown in the following

diagram.

Attach the water connection (connection R 1/2“ on the

cistern) and then assemble both the polystyrene bare-wall

protection and the drainage cover. Brick the module in

completely. Fill all cavities and attach the metal mesh.

Plaster and tile the wall.
