I have a questions about the base of the cylinder. I am looking for one that is tapered. I know the main cylinder measures 2", but is the base 1.5"?

The diameter of the black end, base that fits in the wheeled frame is 1.5" and it does taper above the end.

The straightner and largest barrel are 1" and the small barrel is a tapered 1/2"

The cover tapers very gradually. It's 3" tall and at the base, where it's widest, the diameter is 11 inches. At the top the diameter is approx. 9.5 inches. It's a very gradual tapering.

I measured mine, and I agree with the measurement by T. Wagg. Mine also measured 5 1/2".

2 5/8" at base. FYI-the stopper in not solid glass, it has a plastic base attached to the glass stopper.

Since its not round it doesn't measure the same way as the tapered barrels, but I'd say its a 1" width.

JC, I measured it before responding to your original post. Mine measures exactly 1/2"

Taper fit--just remove the old cylinder and insert the new. You will be pleased with the unit.

When referencing the skinniest part of the base, did you mean that it is 2.5 cm*? 2.5 in would be wider than 3.5 cm, which is is what you mentioned as the widest part of the brush. I just wanted to clarify.

Sharon, I apologize for the delay. The diameter for this base is 1 5/8 inches. Hope that helped.

I used this in a chair that wasnt a big and tall chair. You just need to make sure the opening in the base is what the description on the cylinder says it is for. I think it was a 2 inch opening.

The diameter across the bottom of the cup is 2 & 5/8 inches. The bottom of the cup is a cylinder 2 inches high. Above that, the diameter of the cup tapers outward.

My tape shows 2 7/16-just short of a half inch. Base is heavy-probably cast iron. Happy soldering!

Base diameter = 2.75 inches; max height = 6.75 inches &lt;note: sorry, originally I posted the base diameter as 3.75 inches but that was a mistake. The max height is correct.&gt;

I did not measure it before I sent it back, or probably pitched it. However, I needed it to be at least 1/2" and it was not. As I look at the description now, it says you can adjust it to up to 2", but I don't remember seeing that at the time.

The 5.2 x 2.9 x 0.2 is definitely garbage information. A round item is the same in two directions (diameter) and only different in the length! A non technical person posted the info and I wouldn't have a clue as to how they came up with their measurements. The 0.2 (.050 under 1/4") could be the thickness of the outer 'ring' but that dimension would be irrelevant to what is needed when purchasing.
