How to Identify a Concealed Cistern Flush Plate (UK)

Match Geberit, Roca, Grohe, Wirquin and TECE flush plates to the correct concealed cistern — pneumatic vs cable actuation.

GeberitRocaGroheWirquinTECEIdeal Standard

Cable, pneumatic or magnetic?

The three actuation types are not interchangeable. Cable-actuated plates (Roca PL series) pull a Bowden cable; pneumatic plates (Wirquin) use a rubber bulb and hose; magnetic/mechanical push-rod plates (Geberit Sigma, TECE Now) push a solid rod.

Match plate to frame

  • Geberit UP320/UP720 frames → any Sigma plate (Sigma 01/20/30/50/70).
  • Geberit UP182/Kappa → Kappa 20 or Kappa 21 only.
  • Roca Duplo WC → PL1 (chrome), PL2 (matt), PL10 series.
  • Grohe Rapid SL → Skate Cosmopolitan, Nova Cosmopolitan, Arena.
  • TECE Profil → TECEnow, TECEsquare or TECEloop.
