Default Access question
Does anyone know if there is a requirement on the space required between a vanity and the wall. Did one today where there was only 27 inches.

Get the client to take a look at the shutoffs, if they bonk their heads, they know it's too tight in there.

27"...?

They'd start to rub with a waist aproaching 85", I think.

21" appears to be minimum unless you are dealing with glazing issues (shower). Go to FBC 307. There is a diagram (307.2) that should answer your questions. I will see if I can get the image off the pdf.

It's good to see a 32" clearance but it won't happen in all homes. I see tight bathrooms quite a bit. I simply note "TIGHT BATHROOM that does not meet today's 32" requirement" and move on.
