Water and electrical current connections to the WC Power & Connect Box and prepared conduit pipes
One connection, lots of options
A conventional, reliable WC with water-saving dual flush may be sufficient today, but in just a few years, the home-owner may wish to add a shower toilet or odour extraction unit. In an ideal world, all the necessary connections would already be prepared so that costly structural alterations can be avoided.
The new outlet mounting and communication connection box from Geberit makes it easy to integrate a mains connection for the WC into the installation element. It creates the perfect conditions for various comfort and additional functions in the bathroom.
Prerequisite for exceptional WC comfort
Just as odour extraction units and orientation lights for night time require electricity, so too do shower toilets. Even touchless flush actuation can only be operated with electricity. This is why it is essential to factor in an outlet mounting and communication box for every WC when building or renovating a bathroom.
The water supply connection is also well prepared: whether it’s Geberit Duofix, Geberit GIS or Geberit Kombifix, each of these installation elements has standard conduit pipes for a hidden feed pipe for a Geberit AquaClean shower toilet.
Frequently asked questions about electrical and water connections built onto the WC
Which Geberit products is the Power & Connect Box compatible with?
The Power & Connect Box is compatible with the Geberit GIS and Geberit Duofix installation systemscombination with 12-cm deep cisterns and all Geberit WC ceramic appliances.
Where is the outlet mounting box placed?
The outlet mounting box is invisible behind the toilet on the installation element for the WC. For example, the 12 V cable can be routed directly from the outlet mounting box to the odour extraction unit via an integrated conduit pipe.
In a private bathroom, this invisible placement ensures a neat and tidy appearance. In semipublic or public sanitary facilities, its position protects it from vandalism.
Why should you consider an additional electrical and water supply connection built onto the WC, right from the planning stage?
Nowadays, installation systems and cisterns are usually installed behind the wall and are therefore invisible.
If the connections for electricity and water are available from the outset on the installation element for the WC, the wall does not need to be opened later if, for example, a shower toiletor an orientation light is to be retrofitted.
Installing connections from the start means you can avoid subsequent costs and complex structural work.
How high are the costs for the initial installation of a Power & Connect Box compared to a retrofit?
The extra cost for the product is low.
Compared to the cost of retrofitting, which requires the wall to be opened and the WC installation element to be replaced, initial installation is significantly cheaper.
