universal fit

One size works

Universal fit describes something designed to work with a wide range of sizes, models, or configurations rather than being made for one specific application.

The term appears most often with accessories and replacement parts: a universal fit phone mount, universal fit seat covers, universal fit windshield wipers.

The claim is often optimistic—universal fit products may require adjustment or work imperfectly with some items they supposedly accommodate.
