I am installing multiple toilets in a bathroom. One is ADA (handicap), how close can I put the next toilet? In other words, what is the size I must make the handicap toilet stall?

Here are your regulations,
Toilet Stalls
If toilet stalls are provided, then at least one shall be a standard toilet stall complying with Type A or B, shown below. This stall is required in all new construction, as well as public accommodations that are being altered.

Standard Stalls

Type A - Standard Compartment (Wheelchair Accessible)


Minimum width 60" clear inside
Minimum depth 56" with wall mounted water closet
Minimum depth 59" with a floor mounted water closet
Commode to be centered 18" from either side of stall, with a 32" minimum clear opening
To achieve this, we recommend a 34" out swinging door. The location of the door is most critical in providing an accessible stall. The door is to be mounted no more than 4" from the side wall or panel that is opposite diagonally from the commode. This allows maximum clearance for the wheelchair to enter and maneuver about.

Type B - Standard Alcove (End-of-Row) Compartment (Wheelchair Accessible)



Minimum width 60" clear opening with 32" clearance on the door
Minimum length 92" with a wall mounted water closet
Minimum length 95" with a floor mounted water closet
Commode to be mounted 18" to the center from the back wall
Here again, a 34" door is recommended. Back to top of page

Alternate Stalls

The alternate stalls are used in alterations where the standard stall is technically infeasible or where local plumbing codes prohibit reduction in the number of fixtures.

In alterations, where the standard stall is technically infeasible or where local plumbing codes prohibit reduction in the number of fixtures, then the 36" or 48" stalls, Type C or D, shown below, are permitted.

In large toilet rooms where six or more toilet stalls are provided, it is required that a 36" wide stall with parallel grab bars be provided in addition to the standard stall required in new construction.
Since this stall is primarily intended for use by persons using canes, crutches and walkers, rather than wheelchairs, the length of the stall may be conventional. The door, however, must swing out.

Hi all:

In addition to Tom's answer check out this website... has pictures to back all this up.

Be clear, however, that if your city/town is anything like my area they could be following a slightly different version of ADA compliant toilet partitions. Check with your local building inspector just to be sure... ;)
