IPC

A water closet, urinal, lavatory or bidet shall not be set closer than 15 inches (381 mm) from its center to any side wall, partition, vanity or other obstruction, or closer than 30 inches (762 mm) center to center between adjacent fixtures. There shall be not less than a 21-inch (533 mm) clearance in front of the water closet, urinal, lavatory or bidet to any wall, fixture or door. Water closet compartments shall be not less than 30 inches (762 mm) in width and not less than 60 inches (1524 mm) in depth for floor- mounted water closets and not less than 30 inches (762 mm) in width and 56 inches (1422 mm) in depth for wall- hung water closets.
ICC/ANSI A117.1–2009
604.10.1 General.
Ambulatory accessible compartments shall comply with Section 604.10.
604.10.2 Size.
The minimum area of an ambulatory accessible compartment shall be 60 inches (1525 mm) minimum in depth and 36 inches (915 mm) in width.
Will they ever fix the ICC/ANSI A117.1 requirement of 59" for floor mounted and 56" for wall hung toilets to agree with the IPC of 60" for depth of compartment?
You would have to change the ADA also
604.8.2 Ambulatory Accessible Compartments. Ambulatory accessible compartments shall comply with 604.8.2.
604.8.2.1 Size. Ambulatory accessible compartments shall have a depth of 60 inches (1525 mm) minimum and a width of 35 inches (890 mm) minimum and 37 inches (940 mm) maximum.
Disagreed,
Instant doesn't get it. The 9" is for wheelchair stalls, not ambulatory.
All the room you need![]()
Hey buddy, could you give me a little room here?
That would be a yes.Mark,
That's tight, doesn't meet the IRC 30" rule I suspect.
