11B-213.3 Plumbing fixtures and accessories.
Plumbing fixtures and accessories provided in a toilet room or bathing room required to comply with Section 11B-213.2 shall comply with Section 11B-213.3.
11B-213.3.1 Toilet compartments.
Where toilet compartments are provided, at least five percent but no fewer than one toilet compartment shall comply with Section 11B-604.8.1. In addition to the compartments required to comply with Section 11B-604.8.1, where six or more toilet compartments are provided, or where the combination of urinals and water closets totals six or more fixtures, toilet compartments complying with Section 11B-604.8.2 _|Ambulatory Accessible Compartments|_ shall be provided in the same quantity as the toilet compartments required to comply with Section 11B-604.8.1. [S.H. 1115B.3.1, Item 5]
ETA Editor's Note
The 2013 CBC scoping for toilet compartments was originally the same as 2010 ADAS. When the July 1, 2015 Supplement to the 2013 CBC was issued, this scoping was increased, thereby exceeding the 2010 ADAS scoping at large multi-user toilet rooms.
[2013 CBC, prior to the Supplement dated July 1, 2015]
11B-213.3.1 Toilet compartments. Where toilet compartments are provided, at least one toilet compartment shall comply with Section 11B-604.8.1 _|Wheelchair Accessible Compartments|_. In addition to the compartment required to comply with Section 11B-604.8.1, at least one compartment shall comply with Section 11B-604.8.2 _|Ambulatory Accessible Compartments|_ where six or more toilet compartments are provided, or where the combination of urinals and water closets totals six or more fixtures.
11B-213.3.2 Water closets.
Where water closets are provided, at least five percent but no fewer than one shall comply with Section 11B-604.
ETA Editor's Note
The 2013 CBC scoping for accessible water closets was originally the same as 2010 ADAS. When the July 1, 2015 Supplement to the 2013 CBC was issued, this scoping was increased, thereby exceeding the 2010 ADAS scoping.
[2013 CBC, prior to the Supplement dated July 1, 2015]
11B-213.3.2 Water closets. Where water closets are provided, at least one shall comply with Section 11B-604 _|Water Closets and Toilet Compartments|_.
11B-213.3.3 Urinals.
Where one or more urinals are provided, at least ten percent but no fewer than one shall comply with Section 11B-605.
ETA Editor's Note
The 2013 CBC scoping for accessible urinals was originally similar to 2010 ADAS. When the July 1, 2015 Supplement to the 2013 CBC was issued, this scoping was increased, thereby exceeding the 2010 ADAS scoping at large multi-user toilet rooms.
[2013 CBC, prior to the Supplement dated July 1, 2015]
11B-213.3.3 Urinals. Where one or more urinals are provided, at least one shall comply with Section 11B-605 _|Urinals|_.
11B-213.3.4 Lavatories.
Where lavatories are provided, at least ten percent but no fewer than one shall comply with Section 11B-606 and shall not be located in a toilet compartment.
ETA Editor's Note
With the revisions to scoping requirements in Subsections 11B-213.3.1 through 11B-213.3.4 implemented by the 2013 CBC Supplement dated July 1, 2015, DSA-AC has increased the number of accessible toilet compartments, ambulatory accessible toilet compartments, accessible urinals and accessible lavatories required at very large multi-user toilet rooms. There is no indication whether existing facilities having toilet rooms that do not comply with the increased scoping will be compelled by the path of travel obligation to upgrade these toilet rooms if alterations are performed to an area served by them. As currently written, it appears that upgrading, or some form of supplementation agreeable to the AHJ, will be required.
ETA Editor's Note
The 2013 CBC scoping for accessible lavatories was originally greater than 2010 ADAS, but when the July 1, 2015 Supplement to the 2013 CBC was issued, this scoping was doubled from five percent to ten percent, only affecting large multi-user toilet rooms.
[2013 CBC, prior to the Supplement dated July 1, 2015]
11B-213.3.4 Lavatories. Where lavatories are provided, at least five percent but no fewer than one shall comply with Section 11B-606 _|Lavatories and Sinks|_ and shall not be located in a toilet compartment.
11B-213.3.5 Mirrors.
Where mirrors are provided, at least one shall comply with Section 11B-603.3.
11B-213.3.6 Bathing facilities.
Where bathtubs or showers are provided, at least one bathtub complying with Section 11B-607 or at least one shower complying with Section 11B-608 shall be provided. Where two or more accessible showers are provided within the same functional area, at least one shower shall be opposite hand from the other or others (that is, one left-hand controls versus right-hand controls).
[2010 ADAS] 213.3.6 Bathing Facilities. Where bathtubs or showers are provided, at least one bathtub complying with 607 or at least one shower complying with 608 shall be provided.
ETA Editor's Note
The ADA requirements included at Subsection 11B-213.3.6 are provided for information only. The 2013 CBC scoping requirements are more stringent, since they address not only the quantity of accessible showers, but also their orientation.
11B-213.3.7 Coat hooks and shelves.
Where coat hooks or shelves are provided in toilet rooms without toilet compartments, at least one of each type shall comply with Section 11B-603.4. Where coat hooks or shelves are provided in toilet compartments, at least one of each type complying with Section 11B-604.8.3 shall be provided in toilet compartments required to comply with Section 11B-213.3.1. Where coat hooks or shelves are provided in bathing facilities, at least one of each type complying with Section 11B-603.4 shall serve fixtures required to comply with Section 11B-213.3.6.
