DES PLAINES, ILL.—Geberit announces an updated version of their 2×4 in-wall tank and carrier system for wall-hung toilets. The new 2×4 system, model 111.798.00.1, replaces the previous version and offers several installer-friendly improvements. The new system caters to design preferences with a full range of actuator plates and remote controls and is a flexible choice for buildings with high floor constructions.
Geberit re-engineered the Sigma concealed tank for this new system to fit within a standard frame. The 2×4 system now fits the same dimensions as the 2×6 system, making it easy for the installer to prep the walls for either system during the rough-in stage. The new tank also allows more space for removal of the fill and flush valves for simple, tool-free maintenance. As with all Geberit in-wall toilet tanks, the new 2×4 tank is molded in one piece, allowing Geberit to offer a lifetime guarantee against leaks.
Apart from a narrower footprint, the frame for the new 2×4 system features several changes. The flush plate opening is slightly higher than previously, preventing elongated toilet lids from hitting the plate. Patented L-supports provide added stability for long or narrow bowls. Redesigned, adjustable legs allow the system to accommodate floor construction up to 8″. The system is water efficient, providing dual-flush functionality rated at 1.6 GPF/0.8 LPF.
“The Geberit 2×4 tank and carrier system is a flexible choice all around,” says John Fitzgerald, Vice President of Marketing at Geberit North America. “In addition to saving space—a necessity in most bathrooms—the Geberit system provides unlimited possibilities for design. Energy and water savings are just another bonus of using Geberit.”
The new 2×4 in-wall system was launched at the 2016 Kitchen and Bath Industry show (KBIS) in January, and will immediately replace the existing 2×4 model for all customer orders.
