Accessible Restroom

[chris kennedy]

I have a single door entry with latch. Door swings into restroom at 90 degrees from corridor. I'm reading "recommended" corridor with of 48". What is the minimum corridor width? I have 42".

Thanks

Table 1020.2 (2015 IBC).

Chris, required corridor width vs, maneuvering clearance could be different, and you would want to check ANSI 117 Chapter 4 here: http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/icc/ansi/2003/a117p1/icc_ansi_2003_a117p1_4_sec004.htm

direction of approach and latch and closer all matter....

I assume this is in Florida

You may want to look at the Florida accessibility code

http://codes.iccsafe.org/app/book/toc/2014/Florida/Accessibility%20Code/index.html

Accessible routes and maneuvering clearances

See figure 404.2.4.1j

Also, what you are proposing is similar to a form of "T" term vs a 60" dia.

Can you inset the door 6" to achieve a 48" manuvering space to enter the room?

Or, eliminate the swinging door and replace it with a slider?
