I have a toilet room where there is a 30" wide sink alcove. On the left side is the end wall, on the right side is a 20" deep partition.
_________
| O |
| 20" deep
|
| long
| wall
1. CBC 11B-606.2 and 11B-305.7 says that for a sink in an alcove the clear ground space/manuevering clearance only needs to be 30" wide if the alcove is no greater than 24" deep. If it's deeper that 24", the alcove needs to be 36" wide.
QUESTION: with a long wall on the left side and only a 20" wall on the right side, would you say the sink alcove only needs to be 30" wide?
If the answer is "yes" then see #2 below:
2. CBC 11B-606.6 says "Lavatories when adjacent to a side wall or partition, shall be minimum 18 inches of the centerline of the fixture.
QUESTION: Does this mean I can offset the sink so that its centerline is 18" away from the left/end wall, and 12" away from the 20" deep partition?
If "no", then how wide should the alcove be? 33 inches? 36 inches?
