ADA Installation Recommendations
In order to comply with ADA requirements, the lavatory must
have adequate floor clearances in front of the sink. It must
also be installed at the proper height with the specified leg and
wheel chair clearance under the sink. For complete wall
mount instructions, refer to the Wall Mount Vanity Tops and
Bowls, form number 1255.
Installing the vanity top using the supplied specifications does
not imply the bathroom in which it is installed will comply with
ADA standards. It is the responsibility of the installer/designer
to ensure that all the components of the bathroom are in
compliance with ADA standards, including the lavatory.
For complete guidelines and compliance, refer to ADA Section
606 Lavatories of the Act.
Clear Floor Space
A clear floor space, in front of the sink, for a forward approach
must be at least 30” (76.2 cm) wide and 48” (121.9 cm) long,
as shown in the illustration. These measurements are in
compliance with ADA standard 606.2.
Note: In residential bathrooms, cabinetry is permitted under
lavatory sink provided that all of the following conditions
are met:
(a) the cabinetry can be removed without removal or
replacement of the fixture;
(b) the finish floor extends under the cabinetry; and
(c) the walls behind and surrounding the cabinetry are
finished.
Accessibility Requirements
Note: Only lavatory installations in a public space must comply
with the knee and toe clearance dimensions, however we
recommend these standards be used for both private and
commercial installations. Also make sure that all state and
local building codes are followed when installing this unit.
