    It fits most cisterns with a lever flush as it is extendable from 7½ to 9½ inches depending on the cistern you have.

    Take the old one along to a merchant (yes, yes I know you want to nuy it online) and physically compare it. You might also find you can get it cheaper than online with a bit of haggling.
