Cisterns with valveless siphons, nominally 9 litres, for high level, low level and close coupled positions, in both ceramic and plastics.

BS 1125 specifies requirements for WC flushing cisterns with valveless siphons, nominally 9 L (litres), for high level, low level and close coupled positions, together with the necessary flush pipes.

The cisterns specified are of the type which flushes 9 L only, (i.e. the single flush type), or of the type which flushes, as selected, either 4.5 L or 9 L, (i.e. the dual flush type).

Float operated valves and methods of fixing are not covered by BS 1125.

NOTE 1 Dual flush type cisterns are intended for use with washdown pans in domestic premises only.

NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
