Abstract
The flush-mounted flush tank has a tank body with a bottom wall, side walls with a front wall and a cover wall as well as an inspection opening. The front wall and the cover wall each have an inspection opening, which can be arranged optionally for actuation from the top or for actuation from the front at the time of mounting. The inspection opening not in use is covered with a closing plate. Only one tank body is needed for the two usual types of actuation, which substantially simplifies stock keeping and mounting.
