minimum.
Also, is there a minimum and
maximum distance from the back
wall?
The maximum distance to the front
edge of the dispenser is 36" (Fig
30(d)). Care must be exercised in
specifying multi-roll surface
mounted or projected dispensers
to be mounted so as not to
interfere with the use of grab
bars.

Recommend that 34" maximum
dimension be shown for sink rim
height on Figure 32.
Recommendation is good. We will
pass this along to the standard-
setting agencies for
consideration in future UFAS.

For safety reasons in medical
facilities, the water temperature
to general use sinks, exam rooms,
public toilets, baths, showers,
treatment rooms, etc. is limited
to a maximum temperature of 105
F, by DoD criteria. Is it the
intent of these sections to
require insulation on drains and
hot water supplies when the
maximum water temperature is 105
F?
Yes - because UFAS cannot
regulate maintenance and
operations.
In addition, what is the maximum
and minimum temperature allowable
for any exposed element?
Not addressed. If no hot water
is supplied, insulation may be
omitted.
(Note: The ATBCB has verbally
stated that on lavatories, if you
put an elbow directly under the
drain, run the drain to the wall
with a trap flat against the wall
and outlet of the trap going into
the wall, then insulation would
not be required on the drain.
Likewise, if hot and cold water
supply pipes are stubbed through
