Push Plates

Q: How does a push button toilet flush mechanism work?

A push button toilet flush mechanism refers to a type of toilet that uses a push button to activate the flushing mechanism. The push button is usually located on the front of the toilet tank, and pressing it causes water to flow into the bowl via an overflow tube. This fills up the bowl with water until it spills out over the top, which flushes out any waste. Once the flush cycle has finished, all of this water drains into a pipe connected to a drainage system underneath your household or office.

Q: What is the standard height of a flush plate?

The standard height in New Zealand is approximately 90 cm off the floor.

For wall-hung toilets, the flush is activated by pressing down on the push plate, itself typically mounted on the wall. Push plates for toilets are a simple and affordable way to add style and functionality to your bathroom. Archipro features a great selection of push plates from only trusted suppliers in New Zealand.

Types of push plates

Dual push plate

With a dual flush push plate, the user has two flushing choices (full flush & half flush).

Toilet flush plate

Toilet flush plates are essential for the proper functioning of your toilet. They are an electrical switch or outlet cover that is a small, rectangular piece of metal or plastic.

Flush push plate

With the push of a button, flush plates enable you to operate your wall-hung or back-to-wall toilet. This wall-mounted panel will serve as the trigger for the flushing mechanism of a hidden cistern or wall-hung frame.

The advantages of high-quality push plates

High-quality toilet push plates are easy to install, have a long life, and feature superior materials. They also come in various colours and designs in New Zealand, so you can choose the one that best suits your bathroom décor, with the ability to mix and match with other nearby features like your toilet brush holder or toilet roll holder. While they are functional devices, they do also provide the opportunity to impart a bit of style and a high quality choice will help you do that effortlessly.

How to choose a push plate that’s right for you

In New Zealand, choosing the right push plate for your toilet starts with the type of toilet frame you have. The manufacturer might suggest a variety of plates for each model, depending on the brand and style of frame you choose. The plate will slip into its designated location and fit flawlessly with the flush mechanism. Measurements for flush plates include length, breadth, depth, and thickness (corresponding to the depth of the frame and casing).

As previously indicated, single or multiple flush buttons may be found on flush plates for wall-hung toilets. Again, you can always choose an adjustable single or dual-button plate if you don't know the specifics of your original toilet model. The finish is the final thing to consider and you should think about this carefully in the context of the other finishes you are using in the bathroom.

Are flush plates universal?

In New Zealand, toilet flush plates are not universal. The dimensions of the toilet flush plate vary from one model to another, so if you want to replace your old toilet flush plate, you need to make sure that the new one will fit in its place.
