Tanova FLEX Kitchen Waste Bin Systems
Description

Tanova FLEX is a highly compatible system that integrates perfectly with most slim wall soft-closing drawer systems. A cleverly created frame and bucket system, FLEX sits on a slim wall drawer, which means drawers and waste bin open and close with exactly the same action.

Key Features
  • The Tanova team heard from many kitchen designers and makers that their clients wanted their kitchen bin and their soft close drawers to have the same feel when opened and closed, so they created FLEX – a simple yet clever ‘frame and bucket’ solution that sits atop almost all slimwall drawer brands.
  • Tanova FLEX is designed with flat easy-to-wipe surfaces
  • Tanova FLEX is strong and simple with no fiddly clip together or removable parts to get lost or damaged
  • It requires zero assembly and is very easy to install (in less than five minutes and with no templates required) as it does not change any existing drawer mechanics or adjustment
  • For makers and installers, this removes any complications that come with changing drawer brand for a given project; if you use different slim wall drawer brands for different types of project, FLEX is likely to work with all of them. (For certainty, do check your requirements with our team.)
  • Like all Tanova waste bins, FLEX is space-efficient; designed to hold more waste in less space, with larger capacity storage for narrower cabinets
  • FLEX fits with a modern aesthetic being available in Silk White and Umbra Grey
  • Options are available to suit cabinets 300mm, 350mm, 400mm and 450mm wide
  • All models include two buckets to assist with sorting recyclables from general waste
  • The simplicity of Tanvoa FLEX units makes them an excellent cost-effective option for multi-unit developments, particularly where the soft close drawer brand is already specified
  • When ordering a Tanova FLEX STANDARD unit — includes frame, bucket and top cover panel which provides a barrier between cabinet and the bucket contents
  • When ordering a Tanova FLEX BASE unit — get frame and buckets (no top cover panel). If selecting the FLEX BASE model, consider ordering bucket lids separately
Scope of Use
  • For residential use in kitchens and sculleries
  • Cost-effective option for multi-unit developments, particularly where the soft close drawer brand is already specified
  • Made to sit on a slimwall soft close drawer in the cabinet
  • Options are available to suit cabinets 300mm, 350mm, 400mm and 450mm wide
Limitations on Use

Suitable for residential use, taking into account the following:

  • Take care not to damage painted surface of the metal frames with hard or metallic objects. If the paint does become chipped, it is recommended that the chip is repaired with a touch-up paint as recommended by a reputable paint supplier.
  • Do not use caustic cleaners on any part of your Tanova FLEX unit.
  • Some dishwasher powders are particularly caustic, as are dry salt, salt water and any citrus juice. If they spill onto your Tanova unit frame, remove the powder promptly with a soft brush or damp cloth taking care to re-wipe the surface clean after rinsing cloth free of substance.
  • Painted steel parts – clean with a soft brush or cloth, using warm water and a mild soap such as dishwashing liquid, which will help break down any stains. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Plastic buckets – to avoid odours, regularly wash out with warm water and dishwashing liquid, rinse well and dry. If possible, leaving to dry in the sun is a great idea.
  • Plastic buckets are dishwasher safe.
  • Refer to the Care & Maintenance document for further detail.
In-Service History

FIT launched the Tanova FLEX system in mid-2024 after extensive consultation with Kiwi kitchen designers and makers. During 2025, the ‘BASE’ options without top cover were added to the range at the request of trade partners looking for even more cost-effective options.
