Plan Today. Upgrade Tomorrow.
FlexCover Long (TCA571) is the essential accessory for any modern bathroom project using TOTO ceramics. It transforms a "WASHLET®-ready" toilet into a beautifully finished standard WC, giving you the flexibility to add the electronic bidet seat at a later date. The cover sits perfectly flush with the ceramic, keeping the connection opening hygienically sealed and invisible. When you are ready to upgrade, it removes in seconds, allowing the WASHLET® to be fitted using the pre-existing connections.
Key Benefits
- Future-proof design – Install the high-end ceramic now and add the WASHLET® later without needing to remove the toilet or break tiles.
- Neat & hygienic – The flush cover seals the service opening, preventing dust accumulation and creating a smooth, wipe-clean surface.
- Fast conversion – If installed with a TOTO frame, upgrading to a WASHLET® is a quick, mess-free task that takes just minutes.
Compatibility
This "Long" version (134mm depth) is specifically engineered for the following TOTO ceramics:
- RP Series (Wall-Hung): Model CW542ERY
- RP Series (Floor-Standing): Model CW563Y#XW
- SP Series (Wall-Hung): Model CW522ERY
Note: If you have a GP or NC series ceramic, you likely need the TCA570 (Short) version. Please check your model number.

Step-by-Step Upgrade Process
- The Ceramic Base. You start with a compatible TOTO RP or SP toilet installed as a standard WC.
- Remove Cover. When you are ready to upgrade, remove the standard seat and lift off the FlexCover plate. This reveals the water and electrical connections hidden underneath.
- No Demolition. If you used a TOTO installation frame, the connections are already perfectly positioned. You do not need to remove the toilet from the wall.
- Connect. The WASHLET® unit connects directly to these pre-installed services.
- Mount. Slide the WASHLET® onto the fixings. The connections are neatly hidden inside the ceramic.
- Experience Hygiene. You now have a fully functional shower toilet, bringing a new level of comfort and hygiene to your daily routine.
Why Choose FlexCover?
For Homeowners & Hoteliers: Rising renovation costs can sometimes push a full WASHLET® installation out of budget. The FlexCover is TOTO's intelligent workaround. It allows you to invest in the correct ceramic foundation today, deferring the cost of the electronic seat until finances allow. You avoid the "buy twice" scenario of replacing a standard toilet later, ensuring your bathroom remains future-ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. If you are purchasing the WASHLET seat at the same time as the ceramic, you do not need this cover. The FlexCover is only required if you plan to use the ceramic without the WASHLET seat initially.
When using the ceramic as a standard toilet with the FlexCover, we recommend TOTO's slim soft-close seats: TC513Q (for RP models) or TC512G (for SP models).
The TCA571 (Long) is 134mm deep and fits RP/SP ceramics. The TCA570 (Short) is 93mm deep and fits GP/NC ceramics. Always check your ceramic model before ordering.
