Ghapter 6. Plumbing Elsmonts and Facilltiea
Ifdesigning an acccssiblc drinking fountain for children,
the maximurn spout outlet height is 30 inches {760 mm) as
stated in Exception 2, Section 602.2.
602.5 Spout Lccation. The spout shall be located 15
inches (3S0 mm) minimum from the vertical supporÌ and
5 inches (125 mm) maximum from the front edge of the
drinking lountain, including bumpers. Where only a par-
allelapproach is provided, the spout shall be located 3'/.
inches (90 mm) maximum from the lront edge of the
drinking fountain, including bumpers.
* Criteria are provided for both a parallel and a fbrward
approach. See Section 6A7.2,Exception 2, regarding when
a parallel approach is permitted. For a parallel approach, it
is difficult to lean later:ally over the wheelchair a¡ms, and
the spout must be located within 3'lr ir:ches {89 mm) of the
front edge of the unit. Because it is less difficult to lean
forward than to twist and lean laterally, this dimension
may be inc¡eased to 5 inches (125 mm) in a forward
approach. lf the spout is located lower or farther forward or
both, the maximum distance from the front edge becomes
less critical. The fiont edge is the unit edge, not the loca-
tion of the controls.
125 380
lcc A1 17.1 -2009 COMMENTARY
K¡ce ancl toe clearances are also needed for a forward
approach. The lS-inch (380 mm) dimension from the verti-
cal support locates the spout far enough away from the
wall so the user's knecs and toes may extend below the
unit (see Figure 602.5).
While literally this would also apply to drinking foun-
tains for standing .persons, because no clearances arc
required for drinking fountains for standing pelsons, dre
spout location requirements may be considered more of a
fealure of ease of use-
602.8 Water Flow. The spout shall provide a flow of
waler 4 inches (100 mm) mínimum in height. The angle
of the water stream from spouls within 3 inches (75
mm) of the front of lhe drinking fountain shall be 30
degrees max¡mum, and from spouts belween 3 inches
(75 mm) and 5 ¡nches (125 mm) from the front of the
drinking fountain shall be 15 degrees maximum, mea-
sured horizontally relative to the front face of the drink-
ing fountain.
{. This requirement pemrits the dlinking fountain to serve the
grcatest number of individuals. It is difficult, if not impos-
sible, for some individuals to lean and dlink frorn fhe spoul.
These rcquirements allow fol the insertion of a cup or glass
under the flow of water. The position of tlæ spout dictates
the angle that the strcam of water should project. The fartlrcr
the spout is from the user, the slnaller the angle must be.
603 Toilet and Bath¡ng Roomo
.1. This section addresses toilet and bathing roonrs for all uses
other tban within Accessible, Type A and Type B dwelling
and sleeping units. For toilet and bathing looms i¡r Acces-
sible, Type A and Type B units, see the mo¡'ç specific crite-
ria in Chapter 10. Chapter l0 refe¡ences back to Sections
604 thtough 610, as applicable.
Toilet rooms typically include water c¡osets and lavato-
ries. The room can also conÌain urinals. Bathing rooms
may include water closets, urinals, lavatories and bathing
fixtures (bathtubs or showem). Sometimes sonre of the
plumbing fixtures are located in a separate room or area.
For example, in locker rooms the showers may be in a sep-
arate area from the lavatories and water closets; so¡ne ele-
me¡ltâry schools are placing the lavatories in the hall
irrmediately outside the roo¡n with the watcr Çlosets so
teachers can monitor hand washing. Separating the fixtures
into different areas is not prohibited, but the room require-
ments rnay need to be applied in both locations. Secdon
603 contains general provisions for these rooms or spaces.
See Sections 604 through 608 for individual plumbing fix-
ture requirements.
ô03.1 General. Access¡ble tollet and bathing rooms
shallcomply with Section 603.
* When required to be accessible, all of these facilities must
be located on an accessible route and have doors; clear floor
space and operable parts that meet the requirements estab-
lished and discussed in the follorving sections. Other ame-
nities that comnronly occur in these roo¡ns (mirrors, coat
hooks, diaper changing tables and shelves) are also
addrcssed.

*The inænt of the clearance requirements is to assilre thaL a
person using a wheelchair can enter the room, close the
ãoot, u."çts the fixtures and exit the room'
It is important to understand that the clear floor space, or
location where a wheelchair would sit when using a fixture,
is permitrcd to overlap. However, the fixture itself cannot
ou*tup the clear floır space of another (Section 301'2'
6}3.2.2and 604.3.3). The most common mistake in public
single user toilet rooms is to locate the lavatory-adjacent to
thJwater closet and over the water closet clear floor space '
With the lavatory at this location the clear floor space
required for a side transfer to the water closet is not avail-
abie. Bècause the clear lloor space at fixtures and the tum-
ing space are permitted to ovedap, portions of the turning
space may exiend underneath the lavatory (see commen-
târy, Section ó04.3.3 and Commentary Figure C603'2)'
Éioor drains located in front of accessible plumbing fix-
tures can create slopes that cause undesired movement of a
wheelchair or walking aid when using plumbing fixtures
(see Section 305.2). If a room floor drain is povided, when
tlasigners are choosing the location, they should consider
clear floor spaces and circulatian routes within the room'
603.2.1 Turnlng 9paee. A turning space comply-lng
with Section SO4 shÀllbe provided w¡tr¡n tre room. The
rêquirsd turning space sha¡l not be providsd wlthin a toi-
let compartment.
tt A 60-inch (1525 mm) turning circle or a 60-inch (1525
mm) T-turn space is required within the bathing room or
toilet room. This ensures that persons using the room cân
turn to address each fixture or operabte part they may necd
to access. These turning spaces can use knee and toe clear-
ances under t}te lavatory o¡ toe clearance at the water closet
as indicated in Section 304.3.
In multistall bathrooms, the only turning space provided
within the room should not be within the accessible $a11' If
someone enters the room and the accessible stall is occu-
pied, they may need to turn around and leave. It is permit-
ied fcr there to bc a turning space both within the room and
inside and outside the stall.

EXCEPTION: Water closets and toilet compartmenls
orimarilv for children's use shall be permitted to com-
þly with'Section 604.11 as applicable.
,þThe maneuvering gpaee, seat height, grab bars, controls
aud dispensers must bc located to permit use by a person
with a disability. This scction addresses water closets in
uses other than dwellings and sleeping units' See Chapter
l0 for water closets in dwellings and sleeping units'
If a toilet compartmçnt contains a lavatory and a water
closet, it must meet the same provisions as a single occu-
pant toilet room. l'he criteria for wheelchai¡-accessible and
à*boluto.y-u"cessible stalls are different because they are
intended fôr two different groups of mobility impairments'
The exception allows for bathrooms or toilet compårt-
*"ot. tp".ifically designed for children to be appropri-
ately siied for their different wheelchair sizes and reach
rung"t. If this option is chosen, the criteria must be fol-
lowid for all applicable elements. The option does not
allow picking and choosing between the different elements
(e.g., grab bar height, water closet location, stall size)'
òtit¿rıo's requirements in Section 604.11 provide either
specific criteria or app'ropriate reference for the water
cioset, grab bars, flush ðontrols, toilet paper dispensers and
compartments sized for children'
604.2 Locatlon. The water closet 6hall be located with
a wall or partition to the rear and to one side. The cen-
terline of ihe water closet shall be 16 inches (405 mm)
minimum and 18 inches (455 mm) maximum from the
side wall or partition. Water closets located in ambula-
tory accessibte compartments specified in Section

604.10 shall have lhe centsrline of the water closel 17
inches (4f!0 mm) minimum and 19 inches (485 mm)
maximum from the side wallor partition.
{. Sixteen inches (405 mm) to l8 inches (455 mrn) has been
established as the optimal dimension from a side wall or
partition to thc centerline of the water closet to allow opti-
mum bearing and reach for the grab bar [see Figure
604.2(a)J. The l7-inch to l9-inch (430 to 485 mrn) dimen-
sion for ambulatory stalls permits a similar 2-inch (55 mm)
tolerance [see Figure 604.2(b)]' Once everything is
installed, this 2-inch tolerance addresses differenccs that
occur between the plurnbing rough-in and the finished wall
to watel closet meastlrement.
See Section 604.11.2 for provisions for water closet
location in toilet rooms or stalls designed specifically for
children's use.
604.3 Clearance.
.þThis section addresses the clearances a¡ound the water
closet in the single occupant toilet room and what is per-
missible to overþ that clearance. Section 604.11'3 refer-
ences this provi.sion I'or clearances in toilet rooms or stalls
specifically designed for children.
604.3.1 Clearance width. Clearance around a waler
closet shall be 60 inches (1525 mm) minimum in width'
measured perpendicular from the sidewall.
*The 60-inch (1525 mm) requirement provides approxi-
mately 30 inches (?60 mm) between the watsr closet and
the nearest wall or fîxture (see Figure 604.3)' This space
allows the wheelchair user to back into the space and
accomplish a sicle transfer from the wheelchair to the water
closet isee Commentary Figure C604.3.1(a)1. This transfer
requires less maneuvering than a diagonal or front transfer
[sie Commentary Figwe C604.3.1(b)]. Diagonal sr f¡ont
transfers are difficult, if not impossible, for persons who
have no use of their legs ol nèed assistance to transfer'
Another fixture (e.g., lavatory) is not permitted within this
clear floor space (see Section 604.3'2).

assumption that only one Person will be using the toilet
room iacilities at a time, the spaces at other fixtures where
the wheelchair user would sit to use those fixtures may
overlap the clear floor space at the water closct [see Conr-
menrary Figures C60¿.3.3(b), C604.3.3(c), C603'2(a),
C603.2(b) and C603'2(c)1.
Othei items listed, such as paper dispensers, sanitary
napkin receptacles, coat hooks and shelves, are items com-
Àånty rounå in toilet rooms or toilet stalls. Other items that

maximum àbove lhe floor, measured to the top of the
seat. Seats çhall not be sprung to return 1o a lifîed posi-

EXCEPfiON: A watèr closet in a toilet roorn for a sin-
gle occupant, åccessed only through a private office
änd not ior comrnon use or public use, shall not be
required to comply with Section 604.4.
* Prefercnces for the heights of toilet neats vary considerably
among persons with disabilities. Higher seat heights arc an
advantage to so¡ne arnbulatory peßons with disabilitiss' but
a disadvãntage for some persons who use wheelchairs' Toi-
let seats thatire approximately l? i¡rches to 19 inches (430
to 485 mrn) high ãrc a reasonable compramìse {sce Figurc
604.4).Seats añd fillerrings of various thicknesses arc avail-
able tp adapt china-fixture rims, which vary from 14 inches
to 18 inches (355 to 455 mm) high.
A l7-inch to l9-inch (430 to 485 mm) water closet seat
height is based on the assumption thar a typical wheelchair'
t"uih"ight, with or without a cushion, rvould fall within that
range. Both the ssat of thc wheelchair and tlre water closet
*olt b. as level as possible for ease of t¡'ansfer. Although it
would be easier to t¡ansfer "down" to a seat, more stlength
would be required to transfer back "up" to fhe rvheelchair'
An upward ipring-loadcd toilet seat will interfere with the
user's transfer.
The exception for both the rvater closet seat height and the
sprung seat is part of t}e private office toilet,room exccp-

ê04.5 ûral¡ Bars" Grab bars lor water closets shall
comply with Section 609 and shall be provided in accor-
danóe" with Sections 604.5.1 and 604.5'2. Grab bars
shall be provided on lhe rear wall and on the side wall
closest to the water closet.
EXCËPTIONS:
1. Grab bars are nol required to be installed in a
toilet room for a single occupant, accessed only
through a private otfice and not for common
uss or public use, provided reinforcement has
been installed in walls and located so as to per'
mit the installation of grab bars complying with
Section 604.5.
2. ln detention or correction facilities, grab bars
are not requirad to þe instalted in housing or
holding cells or rooms that are specially
design-ed without protrusions for purposes of
suicide Prevenlion.
¡t See Section 609 for specific rcquirements fol grab bar size,
wall clearance" heighl and i¡rstaìlation requiernents. Side
aud rear glab bars are lequired at all water closets. Section
604.11.5 refelences this ptovision fol grab bar length and
oúentation in toilet roo¡ns ol'stalls specilìcally designed
for child¡en's use.
A wall inunediately adjacent to the lvater closet provides
a solid ¡iuppod 1'or grab bars. Grab bars mounted walþto-
floor without latcral bracing tend to bccorne loose and con-
tribute 1o a feeling of insecurity i¡l users. Swing-down bars
mounted behind the water closet may sel've a pelson wear-
ing leg braces or having a similar rnobility impailmenî, but
*ãy t*t be stable enough to provide assistance in a lransfer
by inost wheelchair users, Sr.ving down grab bars ale only
pennitted in Type B units (see Section 1004.1 I ' 1 )'
Side and reár:grab bars should be horizontally nrounted'
Crab bars mountecl vertically, cliagonally or in loc¿rtions
otlrer tlran on tlre walls behind and adjacent to tìre water
closet do not provide equivalent stability or graspabiìity for
üansfer tiorn a wheelchair. A grab bal that is one piece'
locaterl along the entire range for the two se¡:arate gtab
bars, is a*ceptable (see Section 6W'7). Comrnentary Fig-
ures C604.3.1{a) and C604.3.1(b) show the tliagonal and
side approaches used to tra¡rsfer írclm a wheelclìâir to a
water clflset.
Thete are several exceplions to this section.
Exception I allows foi iust the blocking to be prov'ided
for the iuture installation of grab bars as part of the private
office toiiet room exceptions discussed in the geneml com-
mel]tary to ChaPter 6.
Exception 2 is limited to detention and conectio¡ral
facilities and to areas within those facilitics that arc spe-
cifically tlesigned for suicide prevention. Evcn though tlr
exception would specìfically exempt grab bars, there are
grab bars rnadc that have a continuous support so thât thel'e
is no "ba¡" to allow someone to hr¡ok sonrething fhlough to
potentially strangle the¡nselves (see Comnientary Figurc

604.9 Wheelchair Accessible Compartments'
{'A wheelchair accessible compartment provides sufficient
space for a person using a wheelchair to completely enter
the water closet compartment and close the door.
Section 604.11.8 references this provision for toilet
stalls specifically designed for children.
604.9.1 General. Wheelchair accessible compartments
shall comply with Section 604.9.
'l'This standard recognizes two types of stalls: wheelchair
accessible and ambulatory accessible. Scoping provisions
adopted by the administrative authority will specify how
many ofeach design are required.
Requirements for toilet fixture height' clear floor space,
grab bars, flush controls and dispensers in Section 604 are
the same for toilet stalls and separate toilet rooms' If a lav-
atory is also provided within the accessible toilet compart-
ment, the compartment must comply with the same
provisions as a single-occupant toilet room,

.i. Accessible toilet stalls are sized for adults (Section
6t4.9.2.t) or for children (Section 6049.2.2).
604,9.2.1 Minimum area. The minimum area of a
wheelchair accessible compartment shall be 60 inches
(1525 mm) minimum in width measured perpendicular
to the side wall, and 56 inches (1420 mm) min¡mum in
depth for wall hung water closets, and 59 inches (1500

measured perpendicular lo the rear wall.
.i. The compartment is sized to allow the person using the
wheelchair t(, rilanÈuver wiùin so fhe occupant gains ftrll
and easy access to the water closet and its controls. The
length is dependent on the type of water closet installed.
Because floo¡-mounted water closets encroach on toe
clearances, the compartment must be 3 inches (75 mm)
longer than for the wall-mounted water closet (see Figure
604.9.2).
A 60-inch-wide (1525 mm) compartment would permit
a wheelchair user to transfer to the water closet by pulling
up parallel to the fixture and all'ecting a side transt'er. More
