Thanks for your comment. Apologies that it may not have been clear from this short webinar excerpt, but the "heels" comment was made by one of the webinar participants, not the presenter. The webinar was presented in a "what's wrong with this picture?" format, and participants were invited to submit their answers via chat in each section. Of course, oversized grate openings present many hazards to persons with disabilities.

I see them in nicer hotels and airports. They are safer and cleaner. Easier maintenance. I always recommend a clean safe permanent baby changing counter where space allows. The folding ones frequently fail at the hinges and are difficult to maintain the plastic changing surface. Matching the solid surface vanity counters always is a safer and design solution.

Hi Mike, you're not wrong, but we were talking about 2010 ADAS. We believe you're referring to California requirements under the CBC. If we were just talking about California, then it would be 17" - 18". The seat covers need to be on an accessible route and within reach range. Also, no, the toilet tissue does not need to be mounted in reverse. The requirement is for the dispenser not the paper. Thank you for commenting and starting a good dialogue.

The issue with the Seat Liner Dispenser over the rear grab bar, is the projecting units are a barrier to the 12" minimum clear space required above a grab bar. Depending on the water closet length, the reach is often an obstructed reach with the output mounted too high. It's more efficient to locate the seat liner dispenser away from the water closet where a person can easily grab one on the way to the water closet. Keep the output at a reasonable height for an easy unobstructed forward or parallel reach.
