Toilets

At a private bathroom that is accessed through a private office and not for common use, the toilets must comply with all the requirements except for:

1) The height of the toilet does not have to be 17"-19" a.f.f.  It can be higher or lower than the minimum required heights.

2) Grab bars are not required to be installed, but blocking must be provided within the wall for future installation

3) In the Toilet and Bathing rooms the door shall swing into the clear floor space of the fixtures in a private office

So a private toilet must still have the clearances required at the floor area distance from the side wall, flush control and toilet paper dispenser must comply with 604

The photo above shows the proper floor clearance, but the flush control and the toilet paper dispenser were not correctly located

The toilet in this photo does not have the proper floor clearance per 604 nor is the toilet paper dispenser mounted at the proper location

Sinks

At a private bathroom accessed from a private office and not for public use must have a sink that complies with everything in section 606 except:

1) The sink does not have to have a knee space complying with 306 for forward approach.  A parallel approach is allowed to be provided.

2) The height of the sink does not have to be a 34" a.f.f. maximum.  It can be higher or lower than what the Standards require.

The sink is required to have the proper faucet mechanism, the mirror at the correct height, and floor area for parallel approach.

Because a private bathroom does not require a knee space at the sink, a pedestal sink can be used.  The mirror on the other hand must be mounted at 40" a.f.f. to the bottom of the reflective surface.

Showers andTubs

At a private bathroom accessed by a private office and not for public or common use, the showers and tubs have to comply with all the requirements of section 607 and 608 except for:

1) Grab bars do not have to be installed, but blocking within the walls for future installation must be provided.

Otherwise, a shower must have the controls installed at the proper reach range, a hand held shower unit must be provided, the threshold at the entry must not be higher than 1/2", the size of the shower must comply, and at a transfer shower a seat must also be provided.

This shower doesn't have a seat or a handheld shower unit.  In addition there is a door which doesn't have clearance on the interior of the shower
