Is the 70mm important in order to meet existing pipework?

I suspect the old one has this.

The next question is there sufficient pipe movement to fit the more
usual offerings?

I looked at mine and it seems the tail is about 50mm.

If there is enough room, maybe a 15cm flexible connector pipe could help
solve the problem.

Something like:

One other point, my old one suffered terribly from water hammer. I
replaced it with a Fluid master PRO45B (brass shank) and the water
hammer disappeared.
