Hello MSE members,

I have a newbie question.

We have just removed our existing toilet and purchased this cistern and frame - https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/geberit-monolith-for-wall-hung-wc-s-white - only to read this in the description after:

  • For wall mounted WC with 240 - 260 mm wall drainage outlet
  • For use in wall outlet connections, outlet height in excess of 230 mm

I have ZERO idea what ANY of that means but I can show you an image of our removed toilet (see below). Can someone help me understand what I need to measure to ensure we meet the criteria above please? Feel free to take the original image below and draw rough lines to highlight what I need to measure before re-uploading.

Thank you!
