I believe that a protective panel is required underneath the lavatory of a commercial restroom, but which code governs this issue? I know it must meet the ADA knee and toe clearances under the sink, but I need to find the specific requirements for the panel itself. Or is it not necessarily a panel, since I've also seen the pipes wrapped with a foam-type covering? In any case, just need to find which code and section speaks to these requirements.
