Knee and Toe Clearance

Elements

About this detail

This drawing outlines the accessibility requirements for counter knee and toe clearance under ADA guidelines, showing both parallel and forward approach configurations. For a parallel approach, a 36-inch minimum counter length positioned at a maximum height of 34 inches above the finish floor is required alongside a 30-by-48-inch clear floor space. For a forward approach, the counter provides a 36-inch minimum accessible portion with a 27-inch minimum knee space above the finish floor and a 17-inch minimum toe clearance depth. The plan and elevation views illustrate the proper positioning of clear floor spaces relative to the accessible counter sections.
