Knee Clearance Reduction

[Keith]

CBC Sec. 11B-306.3.4 states that for every 6" in height, (between 9 - 27"), the knee clearance depth can be reduced 1".

Does that mean at 27" knee clearance can be 4"?

Any examples of when the clearance reduction applies?

Thanks

I read the code section but am looking for clarification or an example of how the Clearance reduction works/would apply;
ie. @ 27" would the reduction in depth be 4" ?

I see it now. The 8" is the 3" reduction. Thanks
