Regarding ICC A117.1-2009
I have a restroom with an adult changing station that when closed, is 9" deep and it has to be mounted within the 18" maneuvering clearance of an inswing door. Wouldn't the use of an automatic door opener (low energy operator) create an exception for the 8" max. recessed 18" pull side clearance?
Basically, the inspector is saying, yes you wouldn't need the 18" clearance on the pull side of the door with the operator but because you have an object sticking out more than 8" within 18" of the door you have to have the clearance. Seems counterintuitive.
He is allowing me to bump in the wall with door so it basically makes a recess for the changing station so it reduces the "recess" distance of the door.
