Standardisation? Why aren't things all the same?

Bought a bog yesterday, Come to fit it today, the flush unit is too big to go through the hole in the cistern.



The hole is 2 inch, which is and has been pretty standard as far as I can tell so what the funk is this and more to the point, why?



What a waste of my time and literally not a pot to piss in.


Can't you piss in the pot anyway, and flushit with a buckit?

Simple answer. Makers want to tie you to them for replacements. It's called having a free market. Profits before all else.

Your whole mind is dominated by anti-capitalism.

Or imported cheaply from a country where the size of the hole is standard!

Not in the British Standard. Also annoying that there is no standard for outlet height. When I had to change a macerator, I had to put it on a little platform to save changing the porcelain.

ITYM by experience, Bill. ;-)
