I have a situation where we are trying to provide an emergency eyewash station that will comply with accessibility standards. However, there is no clear language in ADA or the A117.1 specific to eyewash stations. We've got a clear floor space designation but my concern has to do with the height and the distance from the front as well as the wall to the water discharge. For drinking fountains, the dimensions are 15 inches minimum from the wall with 5 inch maximum from the front with a maximum height of 36 inches. For reach ranges with a 5 inch reach projection, the maximum height is 42 inches. However, this isn't really a reach range we're dealing with but rather the necessity to get water on one's face and I'm concerned that the proposed 41 inches in the diagram is too high. View attachment 1169Does anyone have any insight or suggestions on this? Thanks.
