1 Scope

NOTE This standard covers the furnishing and installation of toilet and bath accessories, including the anchorage hardware furnished with them, the templates and mounting heights they hand to the trades that build the walls and compartments, and the field verification that proves each accessory sits where an accessible user can reach it. (1.1)
NOTE An accessory is a small product whose failure is a large one: a grab bar that pulls out of a wall, a dispenser outside the reach range, or a recessed unit cut into a rated wall is a life-safety or accessibility deficiency, and the backing that makes a grab bar hold is placed by another trade weeks before the bar arrives. (1.2)
NOTE The following are outside the scope of this standard: (1.3)
  • Toilet compartments, urinal screens, and the reinforcement built into a compartment panel to carry an accessory, which are furnished under Toilet CompartmentsToilet CompartmentsResolves to the current adopted revision.sync/toilet-compartments

3 Submittals

3.1 Action Submittals

NOTE The accessory schedule is the one document that ties an accessory, its mounting height, and its backing together, and it is reviewed before the walls close because the backing it locates cannot be added afterward. (3.1.1)
3.1.2 The Contractor shall submit the following for review and shall not release accessories for procurement until the submittals have been returned:
  • An accessory schedule listing every accessory by toilet room, giving its mark, type, mounting arrangement, material, finish, mounting height to the reference point the adopted accessibility standard uses, and quantity
  • Product data for each accessory giving material, sheet thickness, finish, operation, capacity, rough-opening dimensions for recessed and semi-recessed units, and projection from the finished wall
  • Product data for each hand dryer giving voltage, current, power, sound level at the rating distance, projection, and listing
  • Mounting templates and anchor patterns for every grab bar, shower seat, baby-changing station, and panel-mounted accessory
  • Interior elevations or mounting details showing every accessory at its mounting height with the backing it requires
  • The listing or tested system proposed for each recessed unit in a fire-resistance-rated wall
  • Finish samples for each material and finish, and a mirror corner sample showing the frame and the backing

4 Quality Assurance

4.1 Source of Supply

NOTE Accessories from one manufacturer share a finish lot, a lock cylinder, and a visual family, and accessories from several manufacturers can match on paper and still read as two finishes side by side under the same light. (4.1.1)
NOTE Grab bars, hand dryers, and baby-changing stations are each made by a narrower set of manufacturers than dispensers are, so holding every accessory to one source narrows the choice of those three products, while excepting them keeps the choice open at the cost of matching their finish separately. (4.1.2)
4.1.3 The source of supply for the accessories shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Source of Supplyradio
○ One manufacturer for every accessory, including grab bars, hand dryers, and baby-changing stations
● One manufacturer for every accessory except grab bars, hand dryers, and baby-changing stations
○ Multiple manufacturers, with finish matched across every accessory in a toilet room
4.1.4 Where more than one manufacturer is used, the Contractor shall submit the finish samples of every manufacturer together, and the Architect shall confirm the match before procurement.

4.2 Mounting Height Layout Review

NOTE Mounting height is measured to a different reference point for each accessory, the top of the gripping surface for a grab bar, the reflecting surface for a mirror, and the operable part for a dispenser, and a crew that lays out every accessory to its bottom edge puts half of them out of compliance. (4.2.1)
4.2.2 The layout review at a representative toilet room shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Mounting Layout Review at a Representative Toilet Roomradio
● Required before accessories are installed in the remaining toilet rooms
○ Not required
4.2.3 Where the layout review is required, the Contractor shall lay out every accessory in one representative toilet room, including one accessible compartment, and shall obtain the Architect's review of the layout before installing accessories elsewhere.

5 Service Exposure

NOTE An accessory in a dry office washroom and the same accessory in a natatorium are not the same product in service: chlorides in the air and in the cleaning chemistry pit a stainless steel that stays bright in the office, and an unsupervised restroom loads every accessory with prying, impact, and theft that an office never sees. (5.1)
5.2 The service exposure at the accessory locations shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Service Exposure at Accessory Locationsselect
Conditioned dry commercial restroom
Restroom with elevated humidity from adjacent showers or steam
Shower room or locker room with standing water
Natatorium or chlorinated pool environment
Coastal or chloride-bearing exterior air
Healthcare or food service restroom under frequent chemical disinfection
Unsupervised public, park, or transit restroom
Correctional or detention environment
5.3 Where the service exposure indicated is a natatorium, a coastal location, or frequent chemical disinfection, stainless steel accessories shall be Type 316.
5.4 Where the service exposure indicated is a shower room, a natatorium, or a coastal location, fasteners and anchors shall be stainless steel conforming to ASTM F593.
5.5 Where the service exposure indicated is an unsupervised public restroom or a correctional environment, accessories shall be of the vandal-resistant construction required under this standard.

6 Material and Finish

6.1 Stainless Steel Alloy

NOTE Type 304 is the alloy of nearly every accessory line, and Type 316 adds molybdenum that resists the chloride pitting Type 304 suffers in pool air, salt air, and daily disinfectant wash. (6.1.1)
6.1.2 The stainless steel alloy for accessory bodies, doors, flanges, and grab bars shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Stainless Steel Alloyradio
● Type 304, ASTM A666
○ Type 316, ASTM A666
6.1.3 Stainless steel sheet shall conform to ASTM A666, and stainless steel tubing for grab bars, curtain rods, and shelf brackets shall conform to ASTM A269.

6.2 Stainless Steel Finish

NOTE A No. 4 satin finish diffuses fingerprints, water spots, and the scratches of daily cleaning, a No. 8 mirror finish returns a sharp image of each of them, a bead-blasted matte finish hides scratches better than satin and is the usual face of vandal-resistant lines, and a PVD or powder-coated color finish buys a dark or warm tone at the cost of a surface that cannot be refinished where it is scratched through. (6.2.1)
6.2.2 The surface finish of exposed stainless steel shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Stainless Steel Surface Finishselect
No. 4 satin directional finish, ASTM A480
No. 8 mirror finish, ASTM A480
Bead-blasted matte finish
PVD color coating over satin stainless steel
Powder coating over stainless steel
6.2.3 Where a directional finish is furnished, the direction of the polish lines shall be consistent across every accessory in a toilet room.
6.2.4 Where a color finish is furnished, every accessory in a toilet room shall be finished from one coating lot, and the Contractor shall submit a sample of each accessory type in the coating for approval before procurement.

6.3 Sheet Thickness

NOTE A heavier sheet buys a door that does not oil-can when pushed and a flange that does not dent under a mop handle, at the cost of weight and price, and a vandal-resistant line is built from heavier sheet throughout rather than at the door alone. (6.3.1)
6.3.2 The minimum sheet thickness of doors, flanges, and exposed cabinet bodies shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Minimum Sheet Thickness of Doors, Flanges, and Exposed Bodiesselect
22 gauge
20 gauge
18 gauge
16 gauge
Manufacturer's standard (by default)
6.3.3 Where no sheet thickness is selected, the manufacturer shall report the sheet thickness of each exposed component in the product data.
6.3.4 Exposed edges shall be hemmed, rolled, or returned so that no sheared edge is presented to the user.

6.4 Plated and Plastic Components

NOTE Plated zinc or brass and molded plastic appear in an accessory line at the parts a hand touches and the parts that are replaced, the lever, the cover, the key, and the liner, and the plating grade is what separates a part that survives a locker room from one that survives an office. (6.4.1)
6.4.2 Chromium-plated components shall be plated in accordance with ASTM B456 at the service condition number indicated in the datasheet.
Chromium Plating Service Condition, ASTM B456select
SC1, mild service
SC2, moderate service
SC3, severe service
SC4, very severe service
Not applicable, no chromium-plated components are furnished
6.4.3 Plastic components exposed to the room shall have a flame spread index and smoke developed index meeting the interior finish class Adopted Building CodeAdopted Building CodeParameterEach project supplies its own value.adopted-building-code requires for the location when tested in accordance with ASTM E84.

6.5 Antimicrobial Surface Treatment

NOTE An antimicrobial additive in a coating or a polymer is registered as a treated article, and the claim it supports is that the additive protects the surface itself from microbial degradation, not that the accessory protects the user. (6.5.1)
6.5.2 The antimicrobial surface treatment shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Antimicrobial Surface Treatmentradio
● No antimicrobial treatment specified
○ Antimicrobial additive on hand-contact surfaces where the manufacturer offers it
6.5.3 Where an antimicrobial treatment is indicated, the product data shall identify the additive, its registration, and the surfaces that carry it.

7 Vandal Resistance, Fasteners, and Keying

7.1 Vandal-Resistant Construction

NOTE An unsupervised restroom loads an accessory with prying at the door, impact at the face, and removal of anything a screwdriver can reach, and the line built for that service answers with heavier sheet, concealed or security fasteners, and locks that cannot be opened with a bent wire. (7.1.1)
7.1.2 The accessory construction class shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Accessory Construction Classradio
● Standard commercial construction
○ Vandal-resistant construction with heavier sheet, security fasteners, and tumbler locks
7.1.3 Where vandal-resistant construction is indicated, every exposed fastener shall be of the security head type indicated in the datasheet, every dispenser lock shall be a tumbler lock, and every mounting flange shall be concealed or through-bolted.

7.2 Exposed Fastener Head Type

NOTE A fastener head is the interface a tool needs, so the head type decides whether an accessory can be removed by anyone carrying an ordinary screwdriver, and a one-way head cannot be backed out at all without a replacement part. (7.2.1)
7.2.2 Exposed fasteners shall have the head type indicated in the datasheet.
Exposed Fastener Head Typeselect
Cross-recess head
One-way slotted head
Pin-in-head hex
Pin-in-head six-lobe
Spanner head
7.2.3 Fasteners and anchors furnished with accessories shall be stainless steel, and plated steel fasteners shall not be used where they are exposed to the room.

7.3 Dispenser Locks and Keying

NOTE One key for every dispenser in the building is what the custodial staff carries, and a dispenser keyed to a different cylinder is the one that stays empty. (7.3.1)
7.3.2 Keyed dispensers and receptacles shall be keyed as indicated in the datasheet.
Dispenser Keyingradio
● All keyed accessories keyed alike throughout the project
○ Keyed alike within each building
○ No keyed-alike requirement
7.3.3 Not fewer than two keys shall be furnished for each keying group, and keys shall be delivered to the Owner with the closeout submittals.

8 Mounting Arrangement

NOTE A surface-mounted unit is the simplest to install and the one that projects into the room, a recessed unit sits flush at the cost of a framed opening, a wall deep enough to hold it, and clearance from the plumbing behind it, and a semi-recessed unit splits the projection where the wall cavity is too shallow to take the whole unit. (8.1)
8.2 The mounting arrangement of dispensers, receptacles, and hand dryers at each location shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Mounting Arrangement of Dispensers, Receptacles, and Hand Dryersselect
Surface-mounted
Semi-recessed
Recessed
Per drawings — the accessory schedule (deferred by default)
8.3 The Contractor shall verify the wall cavity depth and the location of plumbing, conduit, and backing at each recessed and semi-recessed unit before the rough opening is framed.
8.4 Recessed and semi-recessed units shall be set plumb, with the flange tight to the finished wall surface and the joint sealed where the unit is in a wet wall.

8.5 Recessed Units in Fire-Resistance-Rated Walls

NOTE A recessed accessory cut into a rated wall reduces the wall to the thickness of the accessory's sheet-metal box at the opening, and the rating is restored only by a unit listed for the assembly, by a listed protection system wrapped around the unit, or by not recessing the unit at all. (8.5.1)
8.5.2 The protection of recessed units in fire-resistance-rated walls shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Protection of Recessed Units in Rated Wallsselect
Listed fire-rated recessed accessory or enclosure tested with the wall assembly
Listed membrane-penetration protection system furnished under firestopping
Unit surface-mounted or relocated to a wall that is not rated
Not applicable, no recessed units occur in rated walls
8.5.3 A recessed or semi-recessed unit in a wall required by Adopted Building CodeAdopted Building CodeParameterEach project supplies its own value.adopted-building-code to have a fire-resistance rating shall be installed so that the rating of the wall is maintained, by a unit or enclosure listed with the assembly or by a membrane-penetration protection system tested in accordance with ASTM E814 or UL 1479 and furnished under FirestoppingFirestoppingResolves to the current adopted revision.sync/firestopping.
8.5.4 The Contractor shall not cut a rough opening in a rated wall until the protection method for that opening has been submitted and returned.

9 Grab Bars

9.1 Grab Bar Section

NOTE A circular bar is gripped around its whole circumference and the diameter sets how a hand closes on it, while a non-circular bar is judged on its perimeter and its cross-section limits rather than on one dimension. (9.1.1)
9.1.2 The grab bar cross-section shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Grab Bar Cross-Sectionradio
● Circular
○ Non-circular, within the perimeter and cross-section limits of the adopted accessibility standard

Default: Not less than 0.049 in
9.1.5 Grab bars shall be held at the clearance from the wall that the adopted accessibility standard requires, and the mounting brackets shall fix that clearance without field adjustment.

9.2 Grab Bar Gripping Surface

NOTE A satin surface is the ordinary one, a peened surface adds grip where the hand and the bar are both wet, and a knurled surface adds more grip still at the cost of a texture that holds soil and is harder to disinfect. (9.2.1)
9.2.2 The gripping surface of grab bars shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Grab Bar Gripping Surfaceselect
Satin finish
Peened slip-resistant finish
Knurled finish
9.2.3 Grab bars at showers and bathtubs shall have a peened or knurled gripping surface unless the datasheet selects otherwise.
9.2.4 Grab bars and their flanges shall be free of sharp edges, burrs, and abrasive elements, and bar ends shall return to the wall or be closed.

9.3 Grab Bar Mounting Flange

NOTE A concealed-screw flange with a snap-on cover presents no fastener to the room, and an exposed-screw flange presents the fasteners to the room and to a screwdriver. (9.3.1)
9.3.2 The grab bar mounting flange shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Grab Bar Mounting Flangeradio
● Concealed-screw flange with snap-on cover
○ Exposed-screw flange

9.4 Grab Bar Structural Load

NOTE The grab bar, its flanges, its fasteners, and the backing behind the wall are one load path, and the bar is only as strong as the weakest of the four; a bar fastened into gypsum board alone develops none of its rated load regardless of the strength of the bar. (9.4.1)
9.4.2 Grab bars, their mounting brackets, and their fasteners shall resist a concentrated load of 250 lbf applied in any direction at any point on the bar without failure, in accordance with ICC A117.1 Section 609.8 and the 2010 ADA Standards Section 609.8.
9.4.3 Grab bars in the bathing area shall conform to ASTM F446.
9.4.4 The Contractor shall furnish the grab bar design load to the trades that provide the backing, so that the backing is sized to develop it.

9.5 Grab Bar Anchorage

NOTE Fasteners into in-wall backing are the ordinary anchorage in a framed wall, masonry and concrete take an expansion or screw anchor directly, a compartment panel takes a through-bolt into the reinforcement the fabricator built in, and a manufactured concealed anchor assembly rated for the grab bar load is the answer where an existing wall has no backing and will not be opened. (9.5.1)
9.5.2 The grab bar anchorage method shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Grab Bar Anchorage Methodselect
Fasteners into in-wall backing furnished by the wall trades
Expansion or screw anchors into solid masonry or concrete

9.5.3 Toggle anchors, plastic anchors, and fasteners engaging gypsum board alone shall not be used to anchor a grab bar.
9.5.4 Where a grab bar anchors into a compartment panel, the Contractor shall furnish the anchor pattern to the compartment fabricator under Toilet CompartmentsToilet CompartmentsResolves to the current adopted revision.sync/toilet-compartments before fabrication, and shall through-bolt the bar into the reinforcement provided.
9.5.5 Where a manufactured concealed anchor assembly is used, the product data shall include the manufacturer's test report showing that the assembly develops the grab bar design load in the wall construction at that location.

9.6 Grab Bar Configuration and Location

9.6.1 The length, configuration, and location of grab bars at each accessible water closet, shower, and bathtub shall be as indicated on the interior elevations.
9.6.2 Grab bars at each accessible water closet, shower, and bathtub shall be installed at the mounting heights and positions the adopted accessibility standard requires for that fixture type.
9.6.3 The Contractor shall coordinate grab bar locations and the backing behind them at accessible showers and bathtubs with the fixture rough-in under Plumbing FixturesPlumbing FixturesResolves to the current adopted revision.sync/plumbing-fixtures.

10 Mirrors

10.1 Mirror Glass

NOTE A silvered float glass mirror gives the truest image and breaks into shards, a laminated mirror holds its shards on the interlayer, a tempered mirror breaks into small pieces and shows a slight distortion from the tempering, and a polished stainless steel mirror cannot break at all and shows a softer image that dulls as it is scratched. (10.1.1)
10.1.2 The mirror glass type shall be as indicated in the datasheet.

10.1.5 Mirror edges shall be sealed against moisture, and a mirror whose edges are exposed within the frame shall have a sealed edge coating.
10.1.6 Where the service exposure indicated is a correctional or detention environment, or where the mirror is in a location Adopted Building CodeAdopted Building CodeParameterEach project supplies its own value.adopted-building-code designates as subject to human impact, mirrors shall be laminated, tempered, or stainless steel.

10.2 Mirror Frame and Backing

NOTE A channel frame wraps the mirror edge and carries the glass on a backing that keeps moisture off the silver, an angle frame shows a narrower face, a frameless mirror is hung on concealed clips and shows its edge, a fixed-tilt frame tips the glass toward a seated user, and a frame with an integral shelf adds a ledge below the glass. (10.2.1)
10.2.2 The mirror frame shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Mirror Frameselect
Stainless steel channel frame with welded corners

10.2.4 The size and location of each mirror shall be as indicated on the interior elevations.
10.2.5 Mirrors at accessible lavatories and mirrors not above a lavatory shall be mounted with the bottom edge of the reflecting surface at the height the adopted accessibility standard requires for each condition, measured to the glass and not to the frame.

11 Hand Drying

11.1 Hand Drying Method

NOTE Paper towels cost consumables and custodial time and give the user something to open the door with, a hand dryer costs a branch circuit and sound, and furnishing both is the arrangement that serves a user who will not use a dryer. (11.1.1)
11.1.2 The hand drying method shall be as indicated in the datasheet.
Hand Drying Methodradio
○ Paper towel dispensers only
○ Electric hand dryers only
○ Paper towel dispensers and electric hand dryers

11.2 Paper Towel Dispensers

NOTE A folded towel dispenser holds a stack and hands out one towel per pull, and a roll towel dispenser holds more paper in less cabinet and meters each towel to a length, which lowers consumption where the roll is cut rather than pulled free. (11.2.1)
NOTE A lever or crank is the lowest-cost operation, a mechanical hands-free dispenser gives a touchless pull with no power, a battery sensor dispenser gives a touchless pull at the cost of batteries, and a hardwired sensor dispenser gives the same at the cost of a branch circuit. (11.2.2)
NOTE A combination unit puts the towel dispenser and the waste receptacle in one recessed cabinet, which keeps the receptacle off the floor and out of the clear floor space, at the cost of a deeper wall opening than either alone. (11.2.3)
11.2.4 The paper towel form shall be as indicated in the datasheet.

11.3 Electric Hand Dryers

NOTE A conventional warm-air dryer moves a low volume of heated air and dries slowly and quietly, a high-speed hands-under dryer dries in a fraction of the time at a higher sound level, and a hands-in trough dryer collects the water it strips off and is the loudest of the three. (11.3.1)

18 Accessibility and Reach

NOTE An accessible toilet room is judged on what a user must reach and operate, so every dispenser, hook, latch, and control is placed by the reach range of the adopted accessibility standard rather than by the convenience of the installer, and the reach that governs above a lavatory or a counter is the obstructed one. (18.1)
18.2 The operable part of every accessory serving an accessible fixture, compartment, or route shall be within the forward or side reach range the adopted accessibility standard requires, measured from the clear floor space at that accessory.
18.3 Where an accessory is reached over a lavatory, a counter, or another obstruction, the operable part shall be within the obstructed reach range the adopted accessibility standard allows for the depth of that obstruction.
18.4 Every operable part of an accessory shall be operable with one hand without tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist, and with a force of not more than 5 lbf.
