The SIAMP Monaco VERSO BCM 800 Cistern Frame is a robust and versatile assembly designed for wall-hung toilets, offering a comprehensive solution for both installation and long-term maintenance. This system integrates a cistern frame, a control panel, and a drain kit, all engineered for efficiency and ease of use in modern bathroom settings.
Function Description:
The core function of the SIAMP VERSO BCM 800 is to provide a concealed support structure and flushing mechanism for wall-hung toilet bowls. It is designed to be installed within a wall, allowing for a clean, minimalist aesthetic in the bathroom by hiding the cistern and plumbing. The frame supports the weight of the toilet bowl and the user, ensuring stability and safety. The integrated cistern stores water for flushing, and the flushing mechanism, controlled by a dual-volume plate, allows for efficient water usage. The system is adaptable to various wall and floor types, making it suitable for a wide range of installation scenarios.
Usage Features:
The SIAMP VERSO BCM 800 offers several features that enhance its usability and adaptability:
- Adjustable Frame Depth and Height: The frame depth is adjustable from 180 to 245 mm, accommodating different wall thicknesses. The overall height of the frame can be adjusted from 800 to 1000 mm, allowing for flexible positioning of the toilet bowl to achieve a finished floor level height of 400 mm, which is a standard comfortable height. This adjustability ensures compatibility with various bathroom designs and user preferences.
- Wall Fixing and Stability: The system is primarily designed for wall fixing, providing a secure and stable installation. The attaching tabs and wall mounting brackets ensure the frame is firmly anchored to the building structure, preventing movement and ensuring the long-term integrity of the installation.
- Drain Outlet Connection: The drain outlet can be connected in either a straight or bent configuration, offering flexibility depending on the existing plumbing layout. The inclusion of a pipe attaching collar facilitates a secure connection to the main drainpipe. If the drainpipe is not perfectly aligned, PVC bends and couplings can be used to ensure a proper connection.
- Water Supply Connection: The cistern features a shut-off valve and a float valve for controlling the water supply. The system is designed for easy connection to the main water line, with provisions for ensuring watertight seals using fibre washers.
- Toilet Bowl Attachment Kit: The kit includes all necessary components for attaching the toilet bowl, such as attaching rods, flexible sheaths, centering washers, metal washers, nuts, and covers. The design allows for precise positioning and secure fastening of the toilet bowl to the frame.
- Control Panel Options: The system is compatible with both white and chrome double volume control plates, offering aesthetic choices to match different bathroom decors. These plates provide dual-flush functionality, allowing users to choose between a full or reduced flush, contributing to water conservation.
- Cladding Versatility: The frame is designed to be clad with various materials, including brick, plaster blocks, plaster board, and water-repellent wood panels. The recommended cladding thickness for the front is between 20 and 100 mm, and for the top, between 25 and 60 mm, ensuring structural integrity and a seamless finish. A cutting template is provided on the product package to assist with creating the necessary openings for the control panel, drain, and toilet bowl attachments.
- Pre-installation Testing: The manual emphasizes testing the water supply and drain connections before final cladding. This crucial step involves inserting the supply and drain sleeves, positioning the toilet bowl, turning on the water to fill the cistern, and manually operating the flush mechanism to check for leaks. This proactive approach helps identify and resolve any issues before the installation is completed, saving time and effort.
Maintenance Features:
The SIAMP VERSO BCM 800 is designed with ease of maintenance in mind, allowing for straightforward access to critical components for cleaning or replacement:
- Access to Cistern Components: The control panel can be easily removed, providing access to the internal components of the cistern, including the float valve and the flushing mechanism. This accessibility simplifies routine maintenance tasks.
- Valve Maintenance (Filter Cleaning, Membrane Replacement): The float valve assembly can be disassembled for cleaning the filter or replacing the membrane. The steps involve removing the control panel, unscrewing the frame and plate, closing the shut-off valve, and separating the float valve from its support. Spare parts, such as the membrane (P/N 349513-07) and the complete valve (P/N 309503-07), are available for replacement.
- Mechanism Maintenance (Seal Replacement): The flushing mechanism can also be removed from the cistern for maintenance, such as cleaning or replacing the seal. The mechanism is designed with a polariser on its base to ensure correct re-positioning. Spare parts, including the seal (P/N 342332-07) and the complete mechanism (P/N 32-4544-07), are provided.
- Clear Instructions: The manual provides detailed, step-by-step instructions with illustrations for all maintenance procedures, making it easy for users or technicians to perform necessary repairs or replacements.
- Durability and Guarantee: SIAMP offers a ten-year guarantee on the product, excluding rubber parts and manpower, reflecting confidence in the product's durability and design. This commitment to quality ensures long-term performance and peace of mind for the user.
In summary, the SIAMP Monaco VERSO BCM 800 Cistern Frame is a well-engineered, user-friendly, and maintainable system for wall-hung toilets, combining aesthetic appeal with practical functionality and long-term reliability.
