Do I have to use the geberit flush plates or is this compatible with other brands? I've read they're plastic and I would prefer metal. Thank you!!!

I don't think other brands are compatible. Look at Geberit Sigma70. It's a glass plate hovering flush with the tile wall and features finger touch like dual flush. I comes in many colors.

the plastic ones look very nice. I believe I have seen aluminum one in Porcelanosa, but the price was ridiculous.

Geberit has been using these for 50 years now. These have been the standard in the industry. They make them for every brand of wall hung toilet. It's like Kleenex, But in your wall so if there's and issue do you want a knock off?Ps. Customer service at toto "our toilets don't have problems, the customer must have installed it wrong." I have heard this plenty of times when trying to get my customers help.

The better question is "Which is better for a shower head? Metal or plastic?" Remember, you're not using this thing to pound nails, you're running water through it. As for the plating processes: Plastic can not be chrome plated without first being dipped in copper sulfate. When you have so many "metals" in a water media, there is a tendency for the metals to plate to an adjacent surface that is more "negative". Speakman noticed that decades ago, and stopped plating the nozzles. Because they work better un-plated. If you notice, most are solid black plastic, while the larger ones are solid brass. Plastic, in this application, may in fact perform better! The better question is "Which is better for a shower head? Metal or plastic?"

From what I understand the wall carriers are standard. Geberit makes all the carriers even if they have another brand stamped on them. It's kind of like washers and dryers and sears, Kenmore & maytag. Or like Hot water heaters ... they are all made in the same place. The specs on these are easier to find on other websites. Look for diagrams. If you have a Geberit carrier and have the carrier number you can download the .pdf for that carrier at Geberit.com and it will give you all of the model numbers for the carrier you have.

I'm not sure on compartmented dishes? I use Tommee Tippee dishes for plastic, but we mostly use our regular IKEA ceramic/stoneware plates. They work really well. I bet these would do the the trick though: http://www.amazon.com/Tommee-Tippee-Free-Section-Plates/dp/B004N25EFW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8

Hello Linda, The latest version has metal plates on the bottom of the legs. A previous version had plastic fittings that broke easily. This version also had all 2" pipes whereas previous versions had some pipes that were only 1 3/8 ". Nice improvements on an already good product. Mike

These plates are NOT plastic and they are flimsy. I ended up buying the Chinet dinner platter for my event. I really isn't a platter, but just a nice size dinner plate. It is much sturdier. My caterer said those are the plates he uses. Hope this helps!

It works great on mine - would not try the plastic ones - this is solid all metal.

the great thing is all plates will work and in fact the best white and black are the ones from the Sinful brand which cost 1.99 their white and black are opaque and work great!!!!! I used the plates from another manufacturer aka MASH and they are cheaper and work fine! If you find it doesn't work go to my nail tutorial and youtube and watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5tlnXZ2t3c

Hi, I use just a plastic bowl, works perfectly fine with it.you can use a metal one as well.

For metal you'd be much better off using a carbide or titanium countersink. Amazon has a variety available.

I used the hanging mount included. Flush mounting would be a little difficult, but just make sure the plate is installed completely or the tamper switch will be tripped.

I don't know what these other people are thinking, but trust me, I purchased these myself for a kitchen renovation I did myself. These are designed for doors that DO NOT "sit on the face of the cabinet box". These are specifically meant for flush mounted doors. There is another model that is offset if you want gave mounted doors.For the record I did not like these because the name was stamped into the metal. I thought it was really ugly and the picture online didn't show that.

Hi Jean - we used old China from a local thrift store!! You need a special drill bit and we had a lot of different plates break - once we got in the rhythm they came out great!!

Perhaps the newer ones have a plastic base. I have already bought 3 of them and all have heavy metal base, also the brushed nickel one. I would not want a plastic one, the plastic starts to disintegrate soon.

I use these on glass. I've never tried plates. I would say you need a tile nipper or compound tile nipper.
