Description
Add touch-free flushing to a compatible WC with the Tavistock & Roper Rhodes TR9031 Contactless Sensor Flush Upgrade Kit. Wave your hand for a reduced flush, or hold it over the sensor for one second for a full flush. It is designed for paddle-operated flush valves and cistern lid holes measuring 38–46mm, so check both before ordering.
Battery operation avoids the need for a mains connection, while a manual full-flush option remains available when the batteries run out.

Compatibility & Installation
Confirm that your existing valve is paddle operated and measure the actual lid hole before ordering. This is not a universal replacement for every flush mechanism or a direct substitute for a pneumatic concealed-cistern remote sensor kit.
The manufacturer's TR9031 technical sheet lists these Roper Rhodes Group WC ranges:
-
Roper Rhodes: Minerva; Geo, Cover and Accent when fitted with compatible TR9033 flush valve.
-
Tavistock: Structure, Ion, Micra, Lansdown and Orbit; Vibe when fitted with compatible TR9033 flush valve.
-
R2: Minerva, Langford, Radar and Debut.
Where a paddle-operated valve is not fitted, the manufacturer identifies TR9033 as a retrofit valve option, sold separately. Have your installer confirm it suits the exact cistern before purchasing. Leave approximately 30cm of clear space above the sensor and retain access for battery replacement and maintenance.
What's Included
The technical sheet's parts guide lists the control box, battery box, battery-box cradle and hanger, clamp collar, stainless steel pneumatic hook, clamp and hanger, button with securing nut, and infrared sensor. Four AA batteries are required separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I select a reduced or full flush?
Wave your hand over the sensor for a reduced flush. Hold your hand over it for one second for a full flush. Flush volumes depend on your cistern and valve setup.
Will it fit my toilet?
It needs a compatible paddle-operated flush valve and a 38–46mm cistern lid hole. Check your actual valve and measurements, even if your WC range is listed.
What if I do not have a paddle-operated valve?
The manufacturer identifies TR9033 as a separately available retrofit valve. Your installer should confirm compatibility with your cistern before changing the valve.
Are batteries supplied?
No. You need four AA batteries. The manufacturer gives an expected life of approximately 12 months, although usage and battery quality affect this.
Can I flush when the batteries run out?
Yes. The button retains a manual full-flush option when the batteries are depleted.
How much space is needed above the sensor?
Allow around 30cm of clear space above it, as advised in the technical sheet, to help prevent unintended activation.
What if my lid hole is larger than 46mm?
Do not assume TR9031 will fit. Compare the separately listed TR9032 larger-hole kit and check its specified fit range against your lid before ordering.
Can I order if the item shows as out of stock?
Yes. Out-of-stock ordering is enabled for this non-clearance item, subject to supplier availability. For a current lead time or compatibility help, email customerservice@bubblegumbathrooms.co.uk or call 01603 381095.
