Hydroland H8 Dual-Flush Button - Glossy White Glass

Product detailed description

This dual-flush button is commonly installed in modern residential and commercial bathrooms where wall-hung cistern systems are used. It is integrated into the wall surface above the cistern, allowing users to select between full or reduced flush volumes. The glossy white glass panel is suitable for environments requiring a sleek and hygienic surface, and it is compatible only with the H8 series of wall-hung cisterns. Installers should ensure correct alignment with the cistern frame and verify secure mounting before finalizing the installation.

The H8 series replaces traditional plastic panels with a glass panel, which offers a more refined aesthetic and is easier to clean. The button is designed for use in environments where space is limited and a minimalist design is preferred. It is particularly suited for contemporary bathroom designs where the cistern is concealed behind the wall surface.

Technical parameters

The glossy white glass panel is made of safety glass, which is resistant to normal impacts and scratches. The two-flush function allows for either a full or reduced water volume, which is important for water conservation in plumbing systems. The material and finish are selected for durability and ease of maintenance in high-traffic areas.

Installation and connection

Installation requires the use of the H8 series wall frame, as the mounting method differs from earlier models. The button is secured to the panel without the need for tools, snapping into place once the frame is correctly aligned. Before installation, verify that the cistern and frame are compatible with the H8 series to avoid misalignment. Common installation errors include using an incorrect frame or failing to clean the mounting surface, which can affect the seal and aesthetics.

Compatibility and accessories

This button is specifically designed for use with wall-hung cisterns in the H8 series. It is not compatible with other models or systems due to differences in mounting and connection. No additional accessories are required for installation, as the button is designed to snap into the panel without the need for tools or extra components.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle involves a mechanical linkage that activates the cistern’s flush mechanism when the button is pressed. The glass panel is made of tempered safety glass, which is designed to break into small, less hazardous pieces if damaged. The glossy white finish is resistant to stains and fingerprints, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. The integration into the wall system ensures a seamless appearance and reduces the risk of water accumulation behind the panel. The two-flush function is controlled by the internal mechanism of the cistern, which is activated by the button press.

Service and operation

Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and mild detergent is recommended to maintain the appearance of the glass panel. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish. The two-flush function should be tested periodically to ensure it operates correctly. If the button becomes loose or misaligned, it can be resecured by removing and reattaching it to the panel. No scheduled service intervals are required beyond routine maintenance.
