Most codes require at least 15 inches (measured from the center of the toilet) from any side wall or obstruction and not closer than 30 inches center to center to any other sanitary fixture. (The NKBA actually recommends 32 inches.) There should be at least 24 inches of clear space in front of a toilet or bidet.
The size of the free space in front of the toilet varies, depending on the placement of the toilet, so get your plan approved by the local building authority before starting. Typically, you need a minimum of 48 inches by 66 inches of open space in an ADA-compliant toilet area.That doesnât change the minimum distance from the toilet centerline to the side or back wall, however.he back wall distance remains the same, 12-1/2 inches from the center of the toilet flange to the framing, but the minimum space to the side increases to 18 inches from the toilet centerline to the finished wall on both sides.
