Frequently Asked Questions

In-Wall Systems

What are the advantages of wall-mounted plumbing fixtures over traditional, floor-mounted fixtures?

Putting the toilet tank inside the wall saves 9 to 12 inches of linear space. Wall-mounted fixtures like toilets, bidets, and washbasins (or lavatories) open up the entire bathroom floor for easy cleaning with a damp mop. In-wall systems allow wall-mounted fixtures to be set at almost any height to accommodate people with all kinds of needs and abilities.

If the toilet tank is inside the wall, won't it leak or 'sweat' and cause water damage?

A Geberit in-wall toilet tank is made of a seamless piece of plastic that is guaranteed not to leak inside the wall. The tank is insulated to reduce noise transfer and prevent 'sweating'.

Will a wall-mounted fixture sag or fall off the wall? Will the toilet hold my weight?

The Geberit in-wall systems for toilet and bidet are tested and guaranteed to hold up to 880 lbs. (400 kg.) without deforming the frame or wall. The washbasin system is tested up to 330 lbs. (150 kg.), and the urinal system is tested up to 110 lbs. (50 kg.). Any Geberit system, when properly installed, will hold the plumbing fixture in place with no sagging or movement.

How do I perform maintenance on the system inside the wall?

For the bidet and washbasin systems, there are no working parts inside the wall that require maintenance. The toilet and urinal systems feature a flush actuator plate that can be removed from the wall, usually without the use of tools (tamper-resistant plates are available). Removing the flush plate provides access to all working parts for simple repair and replacement.

How do I find a plumbing fixture that's compatible with the Geberit system?

Geberit publishes a brochure with a comprehensive listing of compatible toilets, bidets, and urinals. In addition, the brochure contains diagrams and instructions to help you figure out if your plumbing fixture is compatible with the system. For washbasins, download the specification sheet  (157 KB) for the system and compare it with the washbasin or lavatory you want to install.
