Description
Upgrade a compatible close-coupled WC to touch-free flushing with the Tavistock & Roper Rhodes TR9032 Contactless Flush Kit. Wave your hand over the sensor for a reduced flush or hold it in place for one second for a full flush. This larger-hole version fits 48–56mm cistern lid openings and requires a compatible paddle-operated flush valve.
Battery operation avoids a mains connection, while a manual full-flush option remains available when the batteries run out. Check the lid opening and valve mechanism before ordering rather than choosing by WC appearance alone.

Compatibility & Installation
The manufacturer's TR9032 technical sheet states compatibility with paddle-operated flush valves and 48–56mm cistern lid holes. Its named WC ranges are:
-
Tavistock: Aerial and Micra Evo.
-
R2: Serenity.
Check your actual valve and lid measurements even where the range is listed. If 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 purchase.
Leave around 30cm of clear space above the sensor and retain access for batteries and maintenance. This close-coupled upgrade kit is not interchangeable with a remote sensor kit intended for pneumatic concealed cisterns.
What's Included
The technical sheet's parts guide lists a control box, battery box, battery-box cradle, stainless steel hanger, clamp and pneumatic hook, clamp collar, button with securing nut, and infrared sensor. Four AA batteries are required separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I activate each flush?
Wave your hand over the sensor for a reduced flush. Hold it over the sensor for one second for a full flush. Flush volumes depend on your cistern and valve setup.
Will it fit my cistern lid?
The opening must measure 48–56mm and the kit needs a compatible paddle-operated valve. Confirm both before ordering.
Which WC ranges are named in the technical sheet?
The TR9032 sheet lists Tavistock Aerial and Micra Evo, and R2 Serenity. For another WC, confirm the valve type, opening size and installation clearance rather than assuming a fit.
What if my lid hole is smaller?
The separately listed TR9031 is the alternative for 38–46mm openings. It is not an additional component required with TR9032. Measure your opening before choosing.
What if my valve is not paddle operated?
The manufacturer identifies TR9033 as a retrofit valve option. Ask your installer to verify cistern compatibility before changing the valve.
Are batteries included?
No. Four AA batteries are required. The manufacturer gives an expected battery life of approximately 12 months, although use and battery quality affect this.
Can I still flush when the batteries run out?
Yes. The button retains a manual full-flush option.
How much clearance is needed?
Leave around 30cm of clear space above the sensor, as advised in the technical sheet, to help prevent accidental activation.
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.
