Quick Answer: Standard Water Bottle Height
Wondering how many inches is a water bottle? Most single-use plastic bottles in the U.S. measure around 8 inches tall with a diameter of about 2.5 inches. However, reusable bottles vary widely depending on capacity and design.
Size by Capacity
- 8 oz bottle: ~5 inches tall
- 16 oz bottle: ~8 inches tall
- 24 oz bottle: ~10.8 inches tall
- 32 oz bottle: ~11 inches tall
