The Swiss Madison Wall-Hung Concealed Tank System, model SM-WC426, is an innovative plumbing solution designed to integrate seamlessly into modern bathroom aesthetics, offering a clean and minimalist look by concealing the toilet tank within the wall. This system is engineered for wall-hung toilets, providing a robust and reliable framework for their installation.

Function Description:

The primary function of the SM-WC426 system is to provide the necessary support and water delivery mechanism for a wall-hung toilet while keeping the entire tank and associated plumbing hidden from view. This concealment not only enhances the visual appeal of the bathroom but also frees up floor space, making the bathroom appear larger and easier to clean. The system includes a sturdy metal frame that is securely fastened within the wall framing, ensuring the toilet bowl is firmly supported. Inside this frame, a concealed tank holds the water for flushing. The flushing mechanism is activated by an actuator plate, which is the only visible component of the tank system once installed. This plate is typically mounted on the wall above the toilet and connects to the internal flushing components. The system is designed to deliver a powerful and efficient flush, ensuring effective waste removal while potentially offering water-saving features through dual-flush options, depending on the specific actuator plate chosen. The internal components are accessible for maintenance through the opening behind the actuator plate, eliminating the need to open up the wall for routine servicing.

Usage Features:

• Space-Saving Design: By concealing the tank within the wall, the system maximizes bathroom space, which is particularly beneficial in smaller bathrooms or for achieving a minimalist design aesthetic.
• Enhanced Aesthetics: The hidden tank and plumbing contribute to a sleek, uncluttered bathroom environment, allowing the focus to remain on the design of the toilet bowl and other fixtures.
• Adjustable Bowl Height: A key feature of this system is the ability to adjust the height of the wall-hung toilet bowl during installation. This allows users to customize the toilet height to their preference, enhancing comfort and accessibility for individuals of varying heights or those with specific mobility needs. The legs of the frame can be attached to the framing, and the bowl height can be set as desired before fastening the mounts.
• Robust Support: The heavy-duty metal frame provides strong and stable support for wall-hung toilet bowls, ensuring safety and durability. It is designed to be securely fastened to wood framing, creating a flush and level surface for the toilet.
• Easy Cleaning: With the toilet bowl elevated off the floor, cleaning the bathroom floor becomes significantly easier, as there are no hard-to-reach areas around the base of the toilet.
• Concealed Water Connection: The water supply line is connected to a shutoff valve within the concealed tank, keeping all plumbing out of sight.
• Actuator Plate Compatibility: The system is designed to work with compatible actuator plates (not included with the tank system itself), which provide the flushing interface. These plates come in various designs and finishes, allowing for further customization of the bathroom's look. The roughing box is secured to prevent debris from entering the tank, and the wall materials are trimmed around it, preparing for the actuator plate installation.
• Pre-Cut Template for Drywall: The system includes a cutout template to assist in accurately cutting the drywall for the threaded bolts, pipes, and actuator locations, simplifying the installation process and ensuring a neat finish.
• Adjustable Threaded Bolts: The threaded bolts that secure the toilet bowl to the frame have slotted ends, allowing for adjustments to be made even after the frame is installed, ensuring a perfect fit and level bowl.

Maintenance Features:

• Accessible Internal Components: Despite being concealed, the internal components of the tank, including the shutoff valve and flushing mechanism, are designed to be accessible for maintenance and repairs. Access is gained by removing the actuator cover and plate, eliminating the need for invasive wall demolition.
• Flush Debris Functionality: Before the final connection to the actuator, the system allows for flushing out any debris from the water supply line. This is achieved by undoing one side of the hose from the shutoff valve and turning on the water, preventing potential issues caused by sediment or particles in the system.
• Durable Materials: The system is constructed with quality materials to ensure long-term durability and resistance to wear and tear, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance.
• Simplified Pipe Installation and Cutting: The installation process involves fitting and marking pipes, then removing them to cut to the precise length required for the toilet bowl. This ensures a snug and leak-free connection. After cutting, it's recommended to file and bevel the pipe edges to facilitate a smooth installation and prevent damage to seals.
• Lubrication for Mounting: During the mounting of the toilet bowl, it is recommended to thoroughly lubricate all ends with a grease sponge. This aids in smooth installation and helps maintain the integrity of seals over time.
• Leveling the Bowl: The installation instructions emphasize the importance of ensuring the toilet bowl is level after mounting with all hardware, contributing to proper function and aesthetic appeal.

The Swiss Madison Wall-Hung Concealed Tank System SM-WC426 is a comprehensive solution for installing wall-hung toilets, offering a blend of aesthetic appeal, functional efficiency, and thoughtful maintenance accessibility.
