Hi,
I have been searching for clarification on a couple of code related questions I have about a very small closet to half bath conversion I am in the middle of. Apologies if these questions have been answered before; I haven't had luck finding a definite answer.
1) My toilet waste flange is set in a location that doesn't have the full 15" of clearance on both sides, but few inches forward away from the back wall, there is the required 15" of center on both sides. I am hoping not to have to move walls, but am unclear on whether 15" is required at the flange or at the middle of the toilet bowl or other. It would make sense to me that the purpose of this is clearance for a person to sit, so I'm hoping its from the bowl or something forward of the flange.
2) I have a lavatory sink on the other side of the wall, and just branched off of the waste/vent line for that with a san tee. I'm wondering now if this is to code or if I need to put in a double fixture fitting/ create a separate vertical waste/drain line for it. It is 1.5" pipe if that matters.
Thanks so much in advance for any guidance on this. I am trying to avoid the failing inspection and having to reschedule.
