I'm planning a wetroom in a very small space 1m x 2m (see attached). I want to maximise the space by having a cistern entirely in the stud wall including the waste . Two questions really
1. Is there a cavity wall cistern that fits completely inside a100mm cavity?
2. Is there such a thing as a cavity ceiling cistern? I would have around 160mm space above the lowered ceiling.

Thanks

Soil goes underground?
 
Thanks Shaun for replying. I'm aware of various brands that do a cavity wall cistern with or without a frame but any that I have found exceed the 100mm I have available. Do you have a particular one in mind that fits the space?

Are you mounting the toilet on the floor, with the soil pipe straight down?
 
How will you get the 140mm waste pipe in the 100mm cavity?
If you use a frame at the front of the wall, you'll have to find more space at the back to accommodate the waste?
I don't understand your design 🤔
I'm not 100% sure but this model seems to suggest the waste is a smaller diameter until it goes below the floor. Do you think I'm correct in inferring that from the last diagram? Geberit Duofix frame for wall-hung WC, 114 cm, with Sigma concealed cistern 8 cm - https://catalog.geberit.co.uk/en-GB/products/PRO_168879.html. The tech drawings of this alternative cistern also suggests that the soil pipe is stepped down in size inside the cavity wall: 748-5805-01 - Vitra 8cm Slim Wall Hung Toilet Frame : Bathroom Planet - https://www.bathroomplanet.com/product/vitra-concealed-cistern.html?vid=14977&gclid=CjwKCAiA55mPBhBOEiwANmzoQj8N0Autn6xSN6ry_0X0GUCi17_txDVdUqnQg2yo4m1fRUGtZlRMlRoClGYQAvD_BwE. Am I misreading these drawings?
 
Yes or


Depending on waste pipe
 
I'm not 100% sure but this model seems to suggest the waste is a smaller diameter until it goes below the floor. Do you think I'm correct in inferring that from the last diagram?
I think you are correct - 90mm dia. Looks like what you are after, as long as the soil pipe can go straight down, or you relieve the wall behind for the pipe.
Also, re your following posting, the spec says the cistern is insulated against condensation!

I don't think you are misreading the drawings. Either look like a possible solution for your plan.
Now I understand!
