+category: Architectural / Specialties
+toc_depth: 3
+description: >
+ When to use: Factory-fabricated toilet compartments (partitions) and urinal screens for commercial, institutional, educational, healthcare, and public-assembly restrooms. Covers compartment materials (high-pressure decorative laminate, solid plastic / HDPE polymer, solid phenolic core, powder-coated steel, stainless steel); mounting styles (floor-anchored/overhead-braced, floor-to-ceiling, ceiling-hung, floor-mounted); compartment hardware (hinges, latches, strikes and keepers, brackets, coat hooks, emergency access); urinal and dressing screens; and accessible (wheelchair and ambulatory) compartment requirements under the ADA Standards and ICC A117.1.
+ Not intended for: Toilet accessories such as grab bars, dispensers, mirrors, and waste receptacles (see [[sync/toilet-accessories]]); shower and dressing compartments that are part of bathing-fixture assemblies; demountable office partitions; operable or folding partitions; plumbing fixtures and carriers (see [[sync/plumbing-fixtures]]); cubicle curtains for healthcare patient privacy.

+
+# Scope
+
+This standard covers the furnishing and installation of factory-fabricated toilet compartments and urinal screens for commercial and institutional restrooms. A toilet compartment is an assembly of doors, pilasters (the vertical support posts), and panels (the dividing walls), together with the brackets and hardware that connect them and anchor them to the building structure. The scope includes the selection of compartment material for the service environment, the selection of a mounting style appropriate to the structure and ceiling condition, the hardware that governs durability and privacy, and the dimensional and operational requirements for accessible compartments. Compartment layout, the number and size of compartments, and the location of accessible compartments shall be [[drawing: as indicated on the restroom plans and interior elevations]]; this standard establishes the material, fabrication, hardware, accessibility, and installation requirements for those compartments.
+
+Toilet compartments are a finish item subject to constant moisture, repeated impact, and deliberate abuse, and the correct material selection is the single most consequential decision in this standard. A compartment material that performs well in a low-traffic office restroom will fail prematurely in a school, a stadium, or a correctional environment. The narrative below ties each material to the occupancy and service conditions in which it is the appropriate choice, so that the specifier selects the material from the actual service environment rather than from first cost alone.
+
+Coordinate this work with [[sync/toilet-accessories]] for grab bars, dispensers, and receptacles that mount on or adjacent to compartments; with [[sync/plumbing-fixtures]] for the water closets and urinals the compartments enclose; with [[sync/gypsum-board-assemblies]] and [[sync/unit-masonry]] for in-wall blocking and anchorage backing; and with the finished flooring and base trades for floor anchorage conditions.
+
+# Referenced Standards
+
+Materials, fabrication, and installation shall comply with the latest adopted edition of the referenced standards. Where the contract documents or the adopted building code impose more stringent requirements than a referenced standard, the more stringent requirement shall govern. The Contractor shall resolve conflicts in writing with the Architect before fabrication begins.

+
+## Closeout Submittals
+
+At substantial completion the Contractor shall provide the manufacturer's care and maintenance instructions for the installed compartment material, the manufacturer's written warranty, and an inventory of any attic-stock fasteners or hardware furnished. Care instructions are material-specific; powder-coated steel and stainless steel tolerate different cleaning chemistries than solid plastic and laminate, and the Owner's housekeeping staff shall be provided the correct guidance to avoid finish damage.

+ - "Attic-stock fasteners and hardware inventory (if specified)"
+default: "Material-specific care and maintenance instructions"
+```
+
+# Quality Assurance
+
+## Manufacturer Qualifications
+
+The manufacturer shall be a firm regularly engaged in the fabrication of toilet compartments of the type, material, and mounting style specified, with a minimum of five years of production experience and products in service in comparable applications. Compartments, pilasters, doors, and hardware within a single restroom shall be the product of a single manufacturer to ensure dimensional and finish compatibility.
+
+## Single-Source Responsibility
+
+```datasheet
+label: Single-Source Responsibility
+type: radio
+options:
+ - "All compartments, screens, and hardware from a single manufacturer"
+ - "Compartments and accessories furnished as a coordinated package by a single supplier"
+default: "All compartments, screens, and hardware from a single manufacturer"
+```
+
+The compartment material and the hardware that fastens to it must be matched; door hardware preparations, bracket spacing, and edge construction are specific to each manufacturer's panel system. Mixing pilasters from one manufacturer with doors or hardware from another voids the fit of factory-machined hardware preparations and shall not be permitted.
+
+## Field Measurements
+
+The Contractor shall verify field dimensions of each restroom before fabrication. Compartment dimensions, and in particular the clear dimensions of accessible compartments, depend on the actual as-built location of plumbing fixtures, walls, and floor drains. Where field conditions differ from the contract drawings such that an accessible compartment cannot achieve its required clear dimensions, the Contractor shall notify the Architect before fabrication.
+
+# Service Conditions and Material Selection
+
+## Moisture, Humidity, and Abuse Classification
+
+The compartment material shall be selected for the moisture exposure, humidity, traffic, and abuse anticipated at the specific restroom. The following classification governs the material selection that follows; it is not a substitute for the specifier's knowledge of the occupancy, but it frames the decision.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Restroom Service Condition
+type: select
+options:
+ - "Standard commercial — office, retail, moderate traffic, dry"
+ - "High-traffic public — schools, stadiums, transit, airports"
+ - "Wet / high-humidity — pool, locker room, gang shower, hose-down cleaning"
+ - "Healthcare / hygienic — hospitals, clinics, food service"
+ - "High-abuse / vandal-prone — corrections, parks, unsupervised public"
+default: "Standard commercial — office, retail, moderate traffic, dry"
+```
+
+## Material Selection by Occupancy
+
+Material selection should follow the service condition. High-pressure decorative laminate (HPL) and powder-coated steel are economical and appropriate for standard, dry commercial restrooms with supervised traffic, and HPL is the most common selection in that environment. Solid plastic (HDPE) and solid phenolic core are the durable choices for high-traffic public, wet, and abuse-prone environments because both materials are unaffected by moisture, will not delaminate or swell, and resist graffiti and impact; solid plastic is the default for schools, stadiums, and pool or locker-room applications, and solid phenolic is preferred where the highest resistance to vandalism and hose-down cleaning is required. Stainless steel is appropriate for healthcare, food service, and high-design applications where cleanability and corrosion resistance are priorities and the budget supports it. Powder-coated steel shall not be specified for wet or hose-down environments, because moisture penetrating a chip or scratch in the finish will corrode the steel substrate from within.
+
+# Compartment Materials
+
+## High-Pressure Decorative Laminate (HPL)
+
+High-pressure decorative laminate compartments consist of a decorative laminate face conforming to NEMA LD 3 bonded under heat and pressure to a moisture-resistant particleboard core, with the edges sealed and banded. HPL provides a wide range of colors and patterns at moderate cost and is the standard selection for dry commercial restrooms. HPL shall not be used in wet, high-humidity, or hose-down environments, because moisture reaching the particleboard core through a damaged edge causes the core to swell and the laminate to delaminate.
+
+```datasheet
+label: HPL Core
+type: radio
+options:
+ - "Moisture-resistant particleboard core (standard interior)"
+ - "Marine-grade / exterior-rated substrate (elevated moisture)"
+default: "Moisture-resistant particleboard core (standard interior)"
+```
+
+```datasheet
+label: HPL Panel and Door Thickness
+type: radio
+unit: in
+options:
+ - "3/4 in"
+ - "1 in"
+default: "1 in"
+```
+
+## Solid Plastic (HDPE Polymer)
+
+Solid plastic compartments are fabricated from a single homogeneous sheet of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) polymer, color throughout, with no laminate face and no internal core to delaminate or absorb water. Solid plastic is impervious to moisture, resists graffiti (most marker and paint can be cleaned or sanded off because the color runs through the full thickness), resists impact, and does not support mildew growth. Solid plastic is the default material for high-traffic public restrooms, schools, stadiums, and wet environments. Because HDPE is a plastic interior finish, it shall be tested for fire performance under NFPA 286 where the building code requires room-corner testing of plastic interior finishes, rather than relying on ASTM E84 alone.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Solid Plastic Panel and Door Thickness
+type: radio
+unit: in
+options:
+ - "3/4 in"
+ - "1 in"
+default: "1 in"

+ - "Class B flame-spread per ASTM E84 (where AHJ accepts for the occupancy)"
+default: "NFPA 286 room-corner test report provided (plastic interior finish)"
+```
+
+## Solid Phenolic Core
+
+Solid phenolic core compartments are fabricated from layers of phenolic-resin-impregnated kraft paper fused under heat and pressure with a decorative or solid-color face and a dark (typically black) core, producing a dense, homogeneous panel that is thinner and stronger than HDPE at equivalent stiffness. Solid phenolic is impervious to moisture, withstands hose-down cleaning and high humidity, and offers the highest resistance to impact and vandalism of the common materials. It is the preferred selection for correctional facilities, heavy-use stadiums and transit restrooms, and gang showers and pool environments where the highest durability is required.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Solid Phenolic Panel and Door Thickness
+type: radio
+unit: in
+options:
+ - "1/2 in"
+ - "3/4 in"
+ - "1 in"

+```datasheet
+label: Solid Phenolic Pilaster Thickness
+type: radio
+unit: in
+options:
+ - "3/4 in"
+ - "1 in"
+default: "1 in"
+```
+
+## Powder-Coated Steel
+
+Powder-coated steel compartments consist of two formed sheets of galvannealed steel (conforming to ASTM A653) over a honeycomb core, with a baked-on powder-coat enamel finish electrostatically applied. Powder-coated steel is the most economical material and is appropriate for dry, standard commercial restrooms. It shall not be used in wet, high-humidity, or hose-down environments; the galvannealed substrate corrodes wherever moisture reaches the steel through a chip, scratch, or unsealed edge.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Powder-Coated Steel Face Sheet Gauge
+type: radio
+options:
+ - "22 gauge face sheets (standard)"
+ - "20 gauge face sheets (heavier duty)"
+default: "22 gauge face sheets (standard)"
+```
+
+## Stainless Steel
+
+Stainless steel compartments consist of formed stainless steel sheets (Type 304 conforming to ASTM A666 or ASTM A240, or Type 316 where higher corrosion resistance is required) over a honeycomb core. Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, cleanable, and appropriate for healthcare, food service, and high-design applications. A textured or patterned finish should be specified in vandal-prone applications because a satin or mirror finish shows scratches and graffiti more readily than a textured finish.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Stainless Steel Type
+type: radio
+options:
+ - "Type 304 — standard corrosion resistance"
+ - "Type 316 — elevated corrosion resistance (coastal, chemical, high-chloride)"
+default: "Type 304 — standard corrosion resistance"
+```
+
+```datasheet
+label: Stainless Steel Finish
+type: select
+options:
+ - "No. 4 satin (directional brushed)"
+ - "Textured / patterned (vandal-resistant, hides scratches)"
+ - "No. 8 mirror (high-design, low-abuse only)"
+default: "No. 4 satin (directional brushed)"
+```
+
+## Compartment Material Selection
+
+This is the governing material decision for the standard. Set the default to the most common procurable choice for the project's predominant restroom type and override per restroom on the shop drawings where conditions differ.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Compartment Material
+type: select
+drawing_ref: true
+options:
+ - "High-pressure decorative laminate (HPL)"
+ - "Solid plastic (HDPE polymer)"
+ - "Solid phenolic core"
+ - "Powder-coated steel"
+ - "Stainless steel"
+default: "Solid plastic (HDPE polymer)"
+```
+
+# Mounting Styles
+
+The mounting style determines how the pilasters transfer load to the structure and how the compartment is braced against lateral force. The choice depends on the ceiling type and height, the floor construction, and the available overhead structure. Mounting style shall be selected per restroom and confirmed against the reflected ceiling plan and the structural conditions above the ceiling.
+
+## Floor-Anchored / Overhead-Braced
+
+In the floor-anchored / overhead-braced style, pilasters are anchored to the floor and stabilized at the top by a continuous anti-grip aluminum headrail spanning the tops of the pilasters and anchored to the side walls. This is the most common and most economical mounting style and is the appropriate default for the large majority of commercial and institutional restrooms. It tolerates a wide range of ceiling heights and does not require overhead structure for support. The headrail shall be a continuous extruded aluminum profile conforming to ASTM B221 with an anti-grip (sloped or rounded) top to discourage hanging weight from the rail.
+
+## Floor-to-Ceiling
+
+In the floor-to-ceiling style, pilasters are anchored to both the floor and overhead structure, producing the most rigid and abuse-resistant installation. It is preferred for high-abuse, correctional, and heavy-use public applications, and where the design intent is a full-height appearance. Floor-to-ceiling mounting requires structural support above the ceiling at each pilaster; the Contractor shall coordinate overhead blocking or structure before fabrication.
+
+## Ceiling-Hung
+
+In the ceiling-hung style, pilasters are suspended from overhead structure with no floor contact, leaving the floor clear beneath the compartments for ease of cleaning. Ceiling-hung mounting requires substantial concealed structural support above the ceiling at each pilaster and shall be used only where that structure is provided and coordinated. It is favored in healthcare and high-cleanliness applications because the open floor simplifies wet cleaning.
+
+## Floor-Mounted
+
+In the floor-mounted style, pilasters are anchored to the floor only, with no overhead headrail or ceiling attachment. It is limited to short pilaster runs and low-abuse applications where lateral bracing from a headrail is not required. Floor-mounted compartments are less rigid than the other styles and shall not be used for high-traffic or abuse-prone restrooms.
+
+```datasheet

+default: "Floor-anchored / overhead-braced"
+```
+
+#### Headrail shall be continuous anti-grip extruded aluminum at all overhead-braced installations.
+
+#### Pilaster floor anchorage shall be concealed by a stainless steel pilaster shoe at floor-anchored and floor-to-ceiling installations.
+
+```datasheet

+
+# Compartment Dimensions
+
+## Standard Compartment Dimensions
+
+Standard (non-accessible) compartment width, depth, and door width shall be [[drawing: as indicated on the restroom plans]]. The values below are typical and serve as datasheet defaults where the drawings do not dictate otherwise.
+
+```datasheet

+unit: in
+drawing_ref: true
+options:

+
+## Pilaster and Door Heights
+
+```datasheet
+label: Panel Height Above Finished Floor
+type: range
+unit: in
+options:
+ min: 55
+ max: 82
+ setpoints: [55, 58, 64, 82]
+default: 58
+```
+
+```datasheet
+label: Panel Mounting Height (clearance below panel)
+type: range
+unit: in
+options:
+ min: 4
+ max: 14
+ setpoints: [4, 10, 12, 14]
+default: 12
+```
+
+The standard panel configuration mounts the panel approximately 12 in. above the finished floor with the panel top approximately 70 in. above the finished floor; floor-to-ceiling and increased-privacy configurations raise the panel top and lower the bottom clearance. Where increased privacy is required (a common request in schools and public facilities), the panel bottom clearance shall be reduced and the panel and door heights increased as indicated on the drawings.
+
+# Compartment Hardware
+
+Hardware is the determinant of long-term durability and privacy performance. Hardware exposed to abuse — hinges, latches, and brackets — shall be of a material and grade matched to the compartment's service condition. Through-bolted fasteners with tamper-resistant heads should be specified in vandal-prone applications.
+
+## Brackets
+
+```datasheet
+label: Panel-to-Pilaster and Panel-to-Wall Bracket Type
+type: select
+options:
+ - "Stirrup (two-ear) brackets at top and bottom of each panel"
+ - "Full-height continuous bracket (maximum rigidity, vandal-resistant)"
+ - "Continuous aluminum 'U' channel bracket"
+default: "Stirrup (two-ear) brackets at top and bottom of each panel"
+```
+
+Stirrup (two-ear) brackets are the standard for commercial applications. Full-height continuous brackets shall be specified for high-abuse, correctional, and heavy-traffic applications because they distribute load over the full height of the connection and resist prying and impact far better than point brackets. Brackets shall be of the same corrosion class as the compartment hardware.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Bracket Material
+type: radio
+options:
+ - "Stainless steel"
+ - "Aluminum (anodized)"
+ - "Chrome-plated zamac (dry standard commercial only)"
+default: "Stainless steel"
+```
+
+## Hinges
+
+```datasheet
+label: Hinge Type
+type: select
+options:
+ - "Gravity (cam) hinge — self-closing, field-adjustable rest position"
+ - "Spring-action hinge — self-closing, adjustable tension"
+ - "Continuous (piano) hinge — full door height, high-cycle and abuse-resistant"
+default: "Gravity (cam) hinge — self-closing, field-adjustable rest position"
+```
+
+Gravity (cam) hinges are the standard for commercial compartments; they allow the door to be set to rest in a partially open position when unoccupied (a visual cue that the compartment is vacant) and to close gently. Continuous (piano) hinges shall be specified for high-cycle and abuse-prone applications (schools, stadiums, corrections) because they carry the door load along its full height, eliminate the pinch and pry points of point hinges, and greatly outlast cam hinges in high-traffic service. Accessible compartment doors shall be self-closing per the accessibility requirements below; the hinge selected for an accessible compartment shall provide reliable self-closing.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Hinge Material
+type: radio
+options:
+ - "Stainless steel"
+ - "Aluminum (continuous hinge)"
+ - "Chrome-plated zamac (dry standard commercial only)"
+default: "Stainless steel"
+```
+
+## Latch, Strike, and Keeper
+
+```datasheet
+label: Latch Type
+type: select
+options:
+ - "Slide latch with strike and keeper (standard)"
+ - "Slide latch with occupancy indicator (vacant/occupied)"
+ - "Surface-mounted vandal-resistant latch (heavy gauge, through-bolted)"
+default: "Slide latch with strike and keeper (standard)"
+```
+
+The latch shall be mounted with a strike and keeper that doubles as a door stop and rubber bumper to cushion door closing. In vandal-prone applications a heavy-gauge surface-mounted latch with a continuous strike (full-height keeper) shall be specified. Accessible compartment latches shall comply with the operable-hardware requirements of the accessibility section below.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Latch and Coat Hook Material
+type: radio
+options:
+ - "Stainless steel"
+ - "Chrome-plated zamac (dry standard commercial only)"
+default: "Stainless steel"
+```
+
+## Coat Hook and Bumper
+
+```datasheet
+label: Coat Hook with Bumper
+type: radio
+options:
+ - "Provide combination coat hook and door bumper at each compartment"
+ - "Provide coat hook only"
+ - "Omit (none required)"
+default: "Provide combination coat hook and door bumper at each compartment"
+```
+
+The combination coat hook and bumper on the inside face of the door provides a garment hook and prevents the door from striking the panel or the occupant. In accessible compartments, a coat hook mounted within the reach ranges of ICC A117.1 shall be provided in addition to any standard-height hook.
+
+## Fasteners
+
+#### Exposed fasteners shall be tamper-resistant (one-way or pin-in-head) stainless steel in vandal-prone applications.
+
+#### Panel-to-pilaster and bracket connections shall be through-bolted, not screwed into the panel face, in high-abuse applications.
+
+# Urinal Screens
+
+Urinal screens (also called urinal partitions or dividers) provide privacy between urinals and shall match the compartment material and finish unless otherwise indicated. The screen mounting type shall be coordinated with the wall construction and the available overhead structure.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Urinal Screen Required
+type: radio
+options:
+ - "Yes — provide urinal screens matching compartment material"
+ - "No — not required at this project"

+type: select
+drawing_ref: true
+options:
+ - "Wall-hung — cantilevered from wall, no floor or ceiling contact"
+ - "Pilaster-mounted (post to floor) — supported by a floor-anchored post"
+ - "Post-to-ceiling — supported by a post to overhead structure"
+ - "Floor-to-ceiling — anchored at floor and ceiling"

+ - "24 in x 42 in"
+ - "24 in x 48 in"
+ - "As indicated on drawings"
+default: "24 in x 42 in"
+```
+
+Wall-hung urinal screens require solid in-wall blocking at the screen anchorage; coordinate blocking location and extent with the wall trade so it is in place before the wall finish is closed. A wall-hung screen anchored to gypsum board without blocking will pull loose under normal use.
+
+# Accessibility Requirements
+
+## Coverage
+
+This section applies to all toilet compartments required to be accessible under the adopted accessibility standard. The number, type (wheelchair accessible or ambulatory accessible), and location of accessible compartments shall be [[drawing: as indicated on the restroom plans and accessibility compliance documents]]. The dimensional requirements below reflect ICC A117.1-2017 and the 2010 ADA Standards; where the AHJ has adopted a different edition or standard, the adopted requirement shall govern. The Architect is responsible for confirming the count and configuration of accessible compartments from the accessibility compliance path.
+
+## Wheelchair Accessible Compartment Size

+```
+
+A wheelchair accessible compartment shall be a minimum of 60 in. wide measured perpendicular to the side wall. The width increases to 66 in. minimum where the required toe clearance below the side partition is not provided. The compartment depth shall be a minimum of 56 in. for a wall-hung water closet and a minimum of 59 in. for a floor-mounted water closet, measured perpendicular to the rear wall.

+default: "Yes — 9 in. high min, 6 in. deep min below front and side partitions"
+```
+
+Where toe clearance below the front and one side partition is provided, it shall be a minimum of 9 in. high and 6 in. deep. Providing toe clearance allows the smaller minimum compartment dimensions; omitting it requires the larger compartment. Toe clearance is normally provided by the standard panel mounting height of approximately 12 in., which exceeds the 9 in. minimum.
+

+## Accessible Compartment Door
+
+The accessible compartment door governs whether a person using a wheelchair can enter and close the door. The requirements below are mandatory for every accessible compartment.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Accessible Compartment Door Clear Width
+type: range
+unit: in
+options:
+ min: 32
+ max: 36
+ setpoints: [32, 34, 36]
+default: 34
+```
+
+#### Accessible compartment door shall provide a minimum 32 in. clear opening width measured with the door open 90 degrees.
+
+The door shall be located in the front or side wall of the compartment, with the door opening positioned a maximum of 4 in. from the side partition farthest from the water closet, or, where located in the side partition, a maximum of 4 in. from the front partition.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Accessible Door Location
+type: radio
+options:
+ - "Front wall, offset max 4 in. from side partition farthest from water closet"
+ - "Side wall, offset max 4 in. from front partition"
+default: "Front wall, offset max 4 in. from side partition farthest from water closet"
+```
+
+#### Accessible compartment door shall be self-closing.
+
+#### Accessible compartment door shall not swing into the required minimum compartment area.
+
+The door shall not swing into the minimum required clear area of the compartment, regardless of whether it swings inward or outward; in practice this means accessible compartment doors normally swing outward where the compartment is sized to the minimum. Where an outswing door is used, the maneuvering clearance outside the compartment shall be maintained.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Accessible Compartment Door Swing
+type: radio
+options:
+ - "Outswing (door does not encroach on compartment clear area)"
+ - "Inswing (only where compartment is enlarged so swing does not encroach)"
+default: "Outswing (door does not encroach on compartment clear area)"
+```
+
+#### Accessible compartment door pulls shall be provided on both the inside and outside of the door near the latch.
+
+Door pulls shall be provided on both faces of the door near the latch, mounted between 34 in. and 48 in. above the finished floor, and shall be operable with one hand without tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist. The latch and pull hardware shall comply with the operable-hardware requirements of ICC A117.1 Section 404.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Accessible Door Pull Mounting Height
+type: range

+## Maneuvering Clearance at Accessible Compartment Door
+
+```datasheet
+label: Latch-Side Maneuvering Clearance Outside Compartment
+type: range
+unit: in
+drawing_ref: true
+options:
+ min: 42
+ max: 48
+ setpoints: [42, 48]
+default: 42
+```
+
+Where the approach to an accessible compartment door is to the latch side, the clearance between the door side of the compartment and the nearest obstruction shall be a minimum of 42 in. The Architect shall confirm the maneuvering clearance at each accessible compartment door on the restroom plan; this clearance is a frequent source of accessibility non-compliance when fixtures or accessories are located within the required clear space.
+
+## Accessory Coordination at Accessible Compartments
+
+Grab bars, the toilet paper dispenser, the seat-cover dispenser, and the coat hook serving an accessible compartment shall be located within the reach ranges and at the positions required by the accessibility standard. These accessories are furnished and installed under [[sync/toilet-accessories]], but the compartment shop drawings shall show their locations and the compartment panels shall be reinforced or backed where an accessory mounts to a panel rather than to a wall.
+
+```datasheet
+label: Accessory Mounting Reinforcement in Accessible Compartment
+type: checkbox
+options:
+ - "Panel reinforcement for grab bar (where grab bar mounts to panel)"
+ - "Panel reinforcement for toilet paper dispenser"
+ - "Accessible-height coat hook within reach range"
+ - "All accessories mount to walls with in-wall blocking (no panel reinforcement needed)"
+default: "All accessories mount to walls with in-wall blocking (no panel reinforcement needed)"
+```
+
+# Installation
+
+## Coordination and Blocking
+
+Toilet compartments shall be installed after the wall and floor finishes are complete and the building is enclosed and conditioned. The Contractor shall verify before installation that solid in-wall blocking has been provided at every wall-anchored pilaster, panel, urinal screen, and panel-mounted accessory location. Blocking is furnished and installed under the wall trades; the compartment Contractor shall confirm its presence and location against the shop drawings and shall notify the Architect of any missing or mislocated blocking before proceeding. Anchoring compartments to gypsum board without blocking is a primary cause of premature compartment failure and shall not be permitted.
+
+```datasheet
+label: In-Wall Blocking Verified Before Installation
+type: radio
+options:
+ - "Yes — blocking verified at all wall anchorage points before installation"
+ - "Not applicable — no wall-anchored components at this restroom"
+default: "Yes — blocking verified at all wall anchorage points before installation"
+```
+
+## Anchorage
+
+Pilasters and panels shall be anchored to the building structure and walls with the manufacturer's anchoring devices appropriate to the substrate — expansion or wedge anchors into concrete or masonry, and toggle or through-bolt anchors into blocking within stud walls. Floor anchorage of pilasters shall develop the full design load of the mounting style; floor-anchored and floor-to-ceiling pilasters shall be leveled and shimmed plumb before the floor anchors are set, and the anchorage shall be concealed by the pilaster shoe.
+
+For ceiling-hung and floor-to-ceiling mounting, the overhead structural support shall be verified before installation. Ceiling-hung pilasters transfer the entire compartment load to the overhead structure; anchoring a ceiling-hung pilaster to an unbraced suspended ceiling grid is not permitted.
+
+## Alignment and Tolerances
+
+```datasheet
+label: Pilaster Plumb Tolerance
+type: radio
+options:
+ - "Plumb within 1/8 in. over full height"
+ - "Project-specified tighter tolerance — see drawings"
+default: "Plumb within 1/8 in. over full height"
+```
+
+Pilasters shall be installed plumb within 1/8 in. over their full height, panels shall be level, and doors shall be hung so that the gaps at the hinge and latch edges are uniform and the door rests in the intended position when unoccupied. Hardware shall be adjusted so that gravity or spring hinges return the door to its rest position, the latch engages the keeper without binding, and accessible compartment doors close fully and reliably under the self-closing action.
+
+## Adjustment and Cleaning
+
+After installation the Contractor shall adjust all hardware for proper operation, verify that accessible compartment doors are self-closing and that all clearances meet the accessibility requirements, and clean all surfaces with the cleaning method appropriate to the compartment material. Protective coverings shall remain in place until adjustment and cleaning are complete. Damaged, scratched, or corroded components shall be replaced, not field-repaired.
+
+# Warranty
+
+```datasheet
+label: Compartment Material Warranty Period
+type: select
+options:
+ - "1 year from substantial completion — standard"
+ - "3 years from substantial completion"
+ - "10 years against rust-through (powder-coated steel)"
+ - "15 years against delamination, corrosion, and breakage (solid plastic / phenolic)"
+ - "25 years limited warranty (solid plastic, premium manufacturer programs)"
+default: "1 year from substantial completion — standard"
+```
+
+The manufacturer shall warrant the compartments against defects in materials and workmanship for the specified period. Solid plastic and solid phenolic materials carry substantially longer manufacturer warranties than laminate or steel because they do not delaminate or corrode; where the project uses solid plastic or phenolic, the longer material warranty should be obtained and documented. The warranty shall not cover damage caused by abuse beyond the rated service condition, improper cleaning chemicals, or modifications made without the manufacturer's authorization.

+```datasheet
+label: Contractor Installation Warranty
+type: select
+options:
+ - "1 year from substantial completion"
+ - "2 years from substantial completion"
+default: "1 year from substantial completion"
+```
+
+The Contractor shall warrant the installation, including correct anchorage, hardware operation, door alignment, and compliance of accessible compartments with the dimensional and operational requirements of the accessibility standard, for the specified period. Deficiencies attributable to installation workmanship shall be corrected by the Contractor at no cost to the Owner.
