9. Toilet & Bathing Rooms (603) Door can swing into fixture clearances if clear floor space provided beyond door swing

10. Toilet & Bathing Rooms (603) Turning space (which door can swing into) and door clearances further define room size

11. Water Closets (604) Other changes/ clarifications: • objects permitted to overlap clearance (grab bars, dispensers, etc.) • flush controls (standard reach range) • toilet paper dispenser location

12. Water Closets (604) revised location for toilet paper dispenser

13. Water Closets (604) grab bars clearances (609.3) further determine location of non-recessed dispensers

14. Water Closets (604) large dispensers can conflict with grab bar clearance

15. Water Closets (604) What’s wrong with this picture?

16. Water Closets (604) What’s wrong with this picture?
