ABA: Figure 604.8.1.1 provides minimum dimensions for toilet compartment of 60" wide by 59" deep for end opening door. This is easy to understand.
Calfornia section of this code, 604.8.1.1.3, confirms this depth, but then also has a requirement, "
In a wheelchair accessible compartment with a door located in the front wall or partition (facing the water closet), either in-swinging or out-swinging, a minimum 60 inches (1524 mm) wide and 48 inches (1219 mm) deep maneuvering space shall be provided in front of the water closet."
Anyone else familiar with this? Do i read it correctly that the 48" maneuvering space in front prevails and whatever toilet depth is becomes the compartment depth(standard floor toilet around 27" from the back wall? this would make this depth minimally 75", 16" greater than federal requirement?
thanks.
