height

Height is measure of vertical distance, either vertical extent (how "tall" something or someone is) or vertical position (how "high" a point is).
For example, "The height of that building is 50 m" or "The height of an airplane in-flight is about 10,000 m".
When the term is used to describe vertical position (of, e.g., an airplane) from sea level, height is more often called altitude.
Furthermore, if the point is attached to the Earth (e.g., a mountain peak), then altitude (height above sea level) is called elevation.In a two-dimensional Cartesian space, height is measured along the vertical axis (y) between a specific point and another that does not have the same y-value. If both points happen to have the same y-value, then their relative height is zero. In three-dimensional space, height is measured along the vertical z axis, describing a distance from (or "above") the x-y plane.

    Unvented cylinder recommendations?

    Have 2m height and require a 500L unvented cylinder. Most will be just under this height so probably best if I go for a horizontal so it's not too tight. Question is, is there an unvented cylinder with solar (future proof if I install solar), indirect (heated by gas boiler), horizontal and 500L?

    The wife in her infinite wisdom has decided she wants a high level cistern. As the standard height is 2.3 ish metres and the room is 1.9 my question is can the flush pie be trimmed this much without affecting the flush too much? The cistern is a 3/6 L dual flush.
