How high above the overflow rim of the bowl should the activating handle button or mechanism of the flush valve be placed?

6 inches, 40 inches
8 inches, 48 inches
10 inches, 44 inches
12 inches, 36 inches

The correct answer is: 10 inches, 44 inches

The activating handle button or mechanism of the flush valve should be placed 10 inches above the overflow rim of the bowl. This is the correct height according to the Illinois Plumbing Code. Placing it at this height ensures proper functionality of the flush valve and makes it easily accessible for users. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the standard height requirement specified in the Illinois Plumbing Code.
