Fluval 406 length in size?

[sealife]

I read online that the Fluval 406 filter is 50.8cm in height. Does that include the part of the filter that holds the hose and sticks up vertically from top of filter?

As my cabinet is only 52cm high, I am not sure if it will fit, and even if it does fit, does it leave enough room for me to pull out filter for maintenance Etc. Etc.

Thanks.

It will not be enough room. The hoses point up from there even further and the aquastop valve gets lifted out.
