Commercial ADA Approved Restroom Installation

Accessible Lavatories

A handicap lavatory must be set at the proper height and depth with enough clear floor space and clearance underneath to allow people in wheelchairs to easily approach and operate it. It must extend at least 17″ from the rear wall and have a clearance of at least 29″ from the bottom of the apron to the finished floor. The countertop or lavatory, should not exceed a height of 34″. To allow a forward approach by people in wheelchairs, a clear floor space in front of the lavatory at least 30″ wide and 48″ deep must be provided with no more than 19″ extending under the lavatory. A lavatory installed in a countertop should be placed within 2″ of the front edge for maximum accessibility.

Exposed plumbing under barrier-free lavatories must be either insulated or located to eliminate any contact. Sharp edges must be avoided. A removable protective panel or shroud can be installed underneath an existing lavatory as long as required knee clearance is maintained.
