30-inch lateral clearance
With my 14 inch wide toilet I read that as a total width of 44 inches.USABATH:
Toilet Clearances:
- There should be a minimum of 15 inches of clearance on each side of the toilet.
With my toilet projecting 30 inches from the wall, I read that as 30" plus 21" equals 51 inches.21-inch front clearance
Yeah, I know that's the most likely scenario, but I was hopingHmmmm. Don't think the code co siders anything but square or oblong toilets.
So cutting the corners off your front wall may be allowed, but you're probably at the mercy of the particular inspector or whoever signs this off to say you've complied with the code.
If you took it literally then you can argue that it's only for the width of the toilet itself that the 21 inch front clearance applies?
So if you're working to minimums then a 15 inch angle on either corner cou.d be allowed. IMHO.
