The Water Fittings Regulations make
a number of significant phased changes to WC suites.
From 1 January
2001
Mandatory
reduction in flush volume to six litres for
all newly installed WCsuites.
Introduction
of a high performance specification to cover
the entire WC suite, to include endurance
testing for the siphonic and non-siphonic
mechanisms and improved tests for the effectiveness
of the flush. The specification will ensure
that sanitaryware continues to satisfy consumer
expectations while also improving its water
efficiency.
Dual flush
cisterns permitted for any mechanism and suite
passing the performance specification.
Existing
WC flushing devices can be replaced with non-siphonic
devices; provided the unit flushes the same
volume as the cistern already in use.
