How to best measure the toilet seat.
Manufacturers and most of our measurements shown here at replacementtoiletseats assume measurements were taken from the toilet pan rather than off the seat.
These measurements are:
Length - centre line of hinge hole to front of toilet pan.
Width - at the pans widest point.
Hinge hole distance - assumes a measurement mid hole to mid hole from toilet pan.
Example shown is of a Bemis 5000 range seat.
