TECE flush plates – Overview
Overview
TECE flush plates come in a wide variety of shapes, mate-
rials and colours. The various materials meet the require-
ments of dierent application areas. These flush plates,
with their robust actuation mechanism, can be installed
from the front or from the top. TECE flush plates are some
of the most compact models available on the market.
Thanks to the cistern's special design, the mounting space
inside is easily accessible, despite the flush plate's small
size.

Single and dual-flush technology
Depending on the flush plate, the TECE flush-mounted
cistern oers the option of single or economic dual-flush
technology. When installing a single-flush system, just one
actuating rod is installed, whereas for a system with dual-
flush technology, two actuating rods are installed.

Cleaning TECE flush plates
To ensure that the surface of the flush plate retains its orig-
inal appearance, we would ask you to pay attention to the
following information:
• Always clean the flush plate with a soft cloth.
• Use warm water to clean the visible surfaces.
• To clean glass surfaces, you can also use a mild, colour-
less glass cleaning product.
• Do not spray the cleaning product directly onto the
glass.
• Remove any dirt with a moist cloth, gently applying pres-
sure.
• Never use frothy, aggressive cleaning agents or cleaning
sponges.
TECEantibac
The “TECEantibac” versions of the TECEambia and TECE-
loop (toilet and urinal) flush plates have antibacterial
properties. They are only available in white. Both TECEan-
tibac flush plates are available with single and dual-flush
technology.
What is TECEantibac?
The TECEantibac flush plate is made of a new, high-tech
plastic containing microscopically small silver ions. The
silver ions eectively prevent the spread of bacteria on the
flush plate surface.
As the silver particles are distributed within the material,
the eect continues throughout the plate's entire useful
life. So it is more than just a coating. Therefore surface
wear through use or cleaning does not impair the long-
term eect.
The antibacterial eect of the TECEantibac flush plates
has been demonstrated in an expert report written by the
Hohenstein Research Institute: “Under practical conditions,
this test demonstrated that the TECEantibac product exhib-
its significant or strong antimicrobial activity”.
The measured reduction in germs achieved by TECEan-
tibac was, on average, .%. The test method used
was the only standardised method that currently exists
in accordance with the Japanese Industrial Standard JIS
:. This method is internationally acknowledged
and used in Japan, the USA and Europe. The expert report
can be requested from TECE.

Flush plates

Flush-mounted installation
Flush-mounted installation is a distinctive characteristic
of the TECElux Mini, TECEloop glass (toilet and urinal),
TECEsquare glass (toilet). and TECEnow flush plates (instal-
lation including spacing frame). When using the installation
frame, these flush plates can be flush-mounted as required
both in dry-walls (toilet and urinal) and in brick-wall struc-
tures (toilet).
Flush-mounted installation frame for toilet flush plate
Flush-mounted installation frame for urinal flush plate
Dry-wall – toilet flush plate
The TECEprofil dry-wall module and the toilet installation
frame are required for installation in dry-wall structures.
Dry-wall modules of all installation heights can be com-
bined with the flush-mounted installation frame.
Components required:
TECEprofil module Installation frame for
toilet
Installing the toilet flush plate in a dry-wall
To insert the flush-mounted installation frame into the
plasterboard, a recess for the cistern's inspection opening
must be made in the plaster board.
To do this, place the installation frame over the polystyrene
bare-wall protection.

-
Flush plates

Mark the dimensions of the inside of the installation frame
– width  mm, height  mm – in the centre of the
plasterboard.
Saw the required opening for the installation frame in the
board.
Screw the plasterboard centrally over the module.
Remove the protective foils from the bonding surfaces on
the installation frame, and stick them, together with those
of the support frame, onto the plasterboard. Observe the
correct position of the “TOP” marking, and ensure horizon-
tal alignment.
-
Flush plates

Adjust the depth of the installation frame to the tile thick-
ness (– mm). If the wall structure is thicker (up to 
mm), as is the case for example with natural stone, you can
use a suitable upgrade kit (order no. ).
After adjusting the depth, you can tile right up to the instal-
lation frame.
Tip:
To obtain a perfect tile edge around the installation frame,
TECE recommends cutting the tiles with a water jet cutter.
Remove the support frame and polystyrene bare-wall
protection. Then mount the matching support frame as
described in the respective installation instructions (TECE-
loop or TECEsquare). Finally, insert the flush plate with the
aid of the bow-type handles (supplied with the installation
frame) into the flush-mounted installation frame.

Flush plates

Installation from above
The flush-mounted installation frame can also be used for
top actuation. Installation is the same as installing the flush
plate from the front. The frame must be mounted in the
“reading direction” (= “TOP” lettering to the wall).
“Flush-mounted installation from above”– dimensions
However, thicker minimum panel facing is required due to
the dimensions of the installation frame:
A minimum panel facing of  mm corresponds to a panel
facing with
-  x  mm or
-  x . mm thick plaster board.
“Flush-mounted top actuation” installation – minimum wall structure
On a minimum wall structure, there is no space left
between the installed flush plate and the wall (see picture
above). However, for aesthetic reasons, an equal distance
in front of and behind the flush plate is preferred (see
picture below). This also applies to the installation of the
TECEsquare metal flush plate which has slightly larger
dimensions.

Brick-wall – toilet flush plate
In contrast to the dry-wall, for the brick-wall, an extended
bare-wall protection is required in addition to the TECEbox
brick-wall mounted cistern.
However, TECE cisterns of all installation heights can also
be used in brick-walls.
Components required:

Mount the expanded metal, reinforcement fabrics or similar
in the cistern area. Apply a layer of plaster of at least 
mm thick (measured from the front edge of the splash
guard) to the wall.
Remove the brick-wall bare-wall protection.
Remove the protective foils from the bonding surfaces on
the installation frame, and stick them, together with those
of the support frame onto the plastered surface. Observe
the correct position of the “TOP” marking, and ensure
horizontal alignment.

In a brick-wall structure too, the flush-mounted installation
frame can be used to install the flush plate from the top.
Installation is the same as installing the flush plate from the
front. The frame must be mounted in the “reading direc-
tion” (= “TOP” lettering to the wall).
“Flush-mounted installation from above”– dimensions
Due to the installation frame's dimensions a thicker wall
structure is necessary:
Minimum wall structure =  mm
“Flush-mounted installation from above” – minimum wall structure
On a minimum wall structure, there is no space left
between the installed flush plate and the wall (see illus-
tration above). However, for aesthetic reasons, an equal
distance in front of and behind the flush plate is preferred
(see illustration below). This also applies to the installation
of the TECEsquare metal flush plate which has slightly
larger dimensions.

Dry-wall – urinal flush plate
A flush-mounted installation frame also exists for uri-
nals. The TECEloop urinal flush plate can be installed by
flush-mounting this frame in dry-wall structures.
Installing the urinal flush plate in a dry-wall
To insert the flush-mounted installation frame into the
plasterboard, a recess for the cistern's inspection opening
must be made in the plaster board.
To do this, place the installation frame over the urinal bare-
wall protection.

TECElux Mini
The TECElux Mini is a real glass flush plate with electronic
flush actuation. A sensor recognizes when somebody
approaches the toilet – at which point, the contours of the
sensor surfaces light up through the seamlessly smooth
glass facing.
Flushing is activated without contact or by a light tap.
The safety glass plate only stands out slightly from the
wall. Thanks to the installation frame, it can also be flush-
mounted in the wall.
