Single-User Toilet Rooms: Split Plumbing
Water closets and lavatories can be located on opposing walls. Note that lavatories (and other fixtures) cannot overlap door maneuvering clearances, including latch-side clearances. While the knee and toe clearance required at lavatories may allow a forward approach to door hardware, if placed in the maneuvering space, lavatories interfere with wheelchair maneuvering through doors.
If T-shaped turning space is provided, it should be located to provide an easy approach (i.e., one of the segments aligned with the route into the room). Fixtures with knee or toe clearance can overlap turning space, but fixture overlap should be limited to one segment of the T (see page 15).
