ADA COMPLIANT SINKS

[Scooter]

IS THERE SUCH THING AS A STANDARD SET BACK FOR ADA SINK CUT OUTS.
LIKE HOW FAR BACK DO YOU GO TO START YOUR CUT OUT FOR SINKS 4",6" ETC...

[Joe Durfee]

TO MY KNOWLEDGE...I"m sorry for yelling ....it has less to do with the sink setback and more to do with the faucet handle spacing to the front edge. The faucet handle/sensing area for sensor faucets cannot be more than 13" from the front edge. So your setback will vary based on the size of your sink. I'm by no means an expert in ADA compliance, I just know the faucet rule from when we renovated our current building.

"According to the 2010 update to ADAAG, the basic ADA guidelines for a single-user restroom are:

30-inch by 48-inch access to the sink (the door can’t swing into this rectangle). The measurement starts from the point where a person has 9-inch vertical clearance for their feet and 27-inch vertical clearance for their knees.
The center line of the toilet must be between 16 and 18 inches from the side wall.
A clear circle of at least 60 inches around the side wall and 56 inches from the rear wall to allow a wheelchair to turn (the door cannot swing into the minimum required area for wheelchair-accessible toilet compartments).
A toilet seat height of 17-19 inches.

Sinks & Faucets
This single-user restroom has been designed according to the ADAAG
This single-user restroom has been designed according to the ADAAG.

To meet ADA guidelines, sinks shouldn’t be mounted higher than 34 inches from the floor, and they should have a knee clearance of 27 inches high, 30 inches wide, and 11 to 25 inches deep. You also need a clear floor space and insulated pipes under the sink.

Faucets should be lever-operated, push, touch, or electronically controlled. They should be usable with one hand without the need to tightly grasp, pinch, or twist the wrist. Users shouldn’t have to exert more than 5 pounds of force to use the faucet to meet ADA requirements."

Michael:

Remember, the Americans with Disabilities Act is civil rights legislation, much more powerful than a local building code. You may get a local building inspector to give you a pass, but don't count on the same from the feds, please.

By the way, if your company has a website that is not ADA compliant, as in has the ability to be read/operated by blind people, you can be sued. A local entity just shut down their site after being found non-compliant and paying 16K in a settlement.
